What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger
"You know the bed feels warmer, sleeping here alone, you know I dream in color, and do the things I want.
You think you got the best of me. Think you had the last laugh. Bet you think that everything good is gone.
Think you left me broken down. Think that I'd come running back. Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Stand a little taller. Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter, footsteps even lighter. Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger. Just me, myself and I. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger. Stand a little taller. Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone."
These are the lyrics from Kelly Clarkson’s latest hit, “Stronger."
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to my own divorce and reminds me of all the stress, heartache and drama that I suffered through during my divorce. What got me through every single day was thinking of this phrase that is now a song, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger". And saying, “Why am I going through this? Is there a lesson here for me?”
This personal experience is what I share with every single client who walks through my door. You will look back one day and think how in the world did I survive the stress of my divorce? By thinking that every event in your life is a learning experience will get you through this stressful time. Some people have a bigger learning curve than others!
Think back through your life when events were stressful, such as the death of a loved one, an unruly teenager, drama in high school, or even a friend saying something behind your back that is hurtful. Every stressful moment in your life is a learning experience.
When my clients call me and tell me something terrible has happened to them, I ask them, “What have you learned from this experience?” Sometimes it takes a while for them to see the true lesson and others they see it and correct it right away.
Another important technique to dealing with the stress of your divorce is to journal. I hear this from every therapist I speak with. Not only is it important to get what’s on your mind out on paper, it is a great reference to look back and see how far you have come through your divorce. Many clients are concerned someone will find their journal, so if you don’t want prying eyes to see, then tear it up after you write it down. Only drawback is that you can’t look back on what you have written or been through. But it is a great tool to relieve stress, sort out your emotions, and learn from your mistakes.
Just remember, this too shall pass. Your divorce in the history of your lifespan will just be a ‘blip’ on the radar screen. Look at this time as a time for growth, change, and searching for the new you!
