The Benefits of Mindfulness In Collaborative Divorce

Mindfulness is defined as a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment.

 

Three Key Characteristics of Mindfulness Are:

 

• Intention to cultivate awareness

 

• Attention to what is occurring in the present moment (observing thoughts, feelings, sensations as they arise)

 

• Attitude that is non-judgmental

 

 

Divorce is undoubtedly a difficult time in anyone’s life.  This is true not only for the spouses that are facing a divorce but also for their family.

 

Mindfulness in Divorce:

 

Setting the intention at the outset to handle your divorce in a responsible and respectful manner puts the entire family in a better position to trust that you will get through this process as an intact family.

 

Continuing the mindful approach to divorce can include a more balanced and objective response to each step in the process and avoiding reactive and emotional grievances.

 

The tools and lessons from the Mindfulness practice may be needed more during divorce than at any other time in life.  Divorce can be overwhelming at the start of the process – it may seem that your finances, your assets, your children and your peace of mind are all in limbo.

 

Mindfulness can play a major role to help you and your spouse place attention on what is occurring in the present moment and how we can best address these issues.  This helps to avoid the pitfalls of placing blame and digging up the past to try and find ways to get back at the other spouse.

 

Mindfulness can help guide you away from negative thoughts and to instead focus on potential solutions that help the entire family to move forward in life.

 

Mindfulness will often help you to resolve disputes in a constructive manner with custom solutions instead of fighting endlessly in court to prove that you are right.

 

The Collaborative Divorce Process:

 

Once you have decided that you do not want a divorce that attacks your spouse and that involves courtroom battles, you may find that the collaborative divorce process is the best option for you and your family.

 

Collaborative Divorce empowers you to work with professionals outside of court to help you create options and solutions to resolve the issues in your divorce.  The Collaborative Divorce Process prioritizes respect, privacy and time.
