Are you a good sorter?

For many after a Separation your world becomes topsy-turvy if not falling apart.

Where every so often, you come to realise that your life isn't working the way you'd like, no matter how much effort you make.

Hence, you may need to get into sorting mode by invoking your black and white side of your personality. This is not always easy for some and may take some practice and getting used to.

It requires you to ask yourself such questions as:

Q. "What do I want in my life and what don't I?"

Q. "Who and what's giving me support and what isn't?"

Q. "What's good for me giving me nourishment and what's not?"

Essentially, you have to 'Separate the wheat from the chaff' and get rid of all the dead wood and whatever else is hindering and not helping you on your path to a healthier and more fun life.

This may appear hard but it must be done for you own survival and to live life to the full.

Go get the pruning clippers and take to that dead looking rose bush and watch it shoot up again into something beautiful.

With love and kindness
Michael

Hi Michael and thanks for this timely reminder. It's been almost 4yrs since i separated from my husband and feel I'm finally getting on top of things after many setbacks. This advice reinforces what I have been doing and will keep it up. Keep up the good work

Great article and most refreshing after some of your past, shall we say "negative, doom & gloom" bore. I would like to add that whilst a good prune of the dead wood will neaten things up and possibly allow for a healthy burst of new growth, that sometimes the result we seek will not flourish at all. The bush in question will only produce quality, sensational and exquisite flowers if it has been planted correctly, has a well developed, healthy root system and is able to absorb all the nutrients necessary to thrive - "a rose is a rose is a rose".

Thanks, Michael! One of the best articles lately. Very positive and uplifting in it's practical approach, and much more beneficial than some of those dark, negative and depressing thoughts. Yes, mate, let's get on on with our lives and forget the disappointments of the bitter past.

The more we can abolish our "negative" conditionalities and focus on what we want, growing into our own person, the better we and others will be. Good article, thanks for the read.
