When I left my husband, I was so wounded and confused that I didn’t have much idea who I was or what marriage was really about. So the first “nice” man who paid attention to me, complimented me, asked me out – and wanted to marry me, pretty much got me. So I had a six month marriage and found out a) I didn’t know much about me – but was well on my way to learning and b) I certainly didn’t know what it took to make a marriage work – and was well on my way to learning.
So when is it right to start dating after divorce. It’s up to you. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine whether you are really ready:
1. Can I leave my children and not feel guilty?
2. Have I begun to understand what went wrong with my marriage?
3. Am I willing to take responsibility for my part in the marriage?
4. Do I love myself?
5. Have I learned to enjoy my own company?
6. Do I have great support while I go on this new adventure with my new self?
And there are no mistakes that you can make if you remember that Life Is a School .

Murmurs of the Heart - Significant Others
By: Maia Merril Berens | 16/05/2007 | MarriageIn this century, primary relationships with spouses and significant others are a matter of choice. No one said, "Here's your partner. Now go work it out." As a matter of fact most people put a lot of effort into meeting the right person. They go to places where people of the opposite sex are hanging out. They join internet dating clubs. They read books about relationships or how to find the right partner. And they choose who they want to be with.However, how did we choose?
My Very Own Guest House
By: Maia Merril Berens | 16/05/2007 | MotivationalWhen I remember what Rumi reminds us – that all my thoughts and feelings are welcome guests – that they come as a “guide from beyond”, I relax and learn what is there to learn. Earlier today someone said while giving wise counsel, “What you resist, persists.” I can see the image. I can see a hand pushing back on mine.
Three Secrets to Getting Everything you Want
By: Maia Merril Berens | 16/05/2007 | Self HelpThose of us who look at things like “getting everything you want” are usually those who don’t have everything we want and know it and feel it – often to the point of pain. Two very painful things in my life started me on this path of trying to get a life I wanted instead of the one I had. The first phase involves healing. The next phase or secret involves belief.

Resistance
By: Maia Merril Berens | 16/05/2007 | MotivationalResistance is your mind saying NO. Then your mind translates that to your body. When I feel resistance, I feel a stuck feeling in my body. It’s as if the natural humming flow has congealed. Watch for that experience while you are working on changing your life. Consider it information. See if you get any ideas what it’s about.
What is This Thing Called Me?
By: Maia Merril Berens | 16/05/2007 | Self HelpIf you give much greater importance to your outer reality – how you look and how it looks out there, it will be very tough to make inner changes because you will worry about how you appear to the rest of the world. Without training yourself to focus inward – by becoming aware of your different moods, and those different inner “selves” both negative and positive - that seem to take over sometimes – no real change will be possible.
A Solid Decision - Right-brain Decision-making and Left-brain Decision-making
By: Maia Merril Berens | 15/05/2007 | Self HelpMy biggest moment of power was when I made the decision to leave my husband. The old ego-mind voice kept trying to keep everything the same for itself. The new voice felt like angels in my heart rather than a pitchfork in my butt. Tony Robbins is quoted as saying, "To decide is to cut off any other possibility."
