London’s Wellness Scene: The Best Places for Post-Divorce Healing and Self-Care
In the list of challenging situations that you might have to go through in life, getting divorced is up there at the top. In fact, it is usually ranked as the second-most stressful thingfor a human, with the death of a spouse at number one.
If you ever find yourself in this circumstance, there are reasons to look on the bright side. London may be one of the best places to be when going through a divorce, as there’s an emerging wellness scene offering various ways to help people get through such hard times.
Selling the Home Can Lead to a Fresh Start
If you ever find yourself going through a divorce, the best way to start moving on is to cut all ties from the marriage and work towards a fresh start. It may be hard to let go of the marital home that you made so many memories in, but this is the first step towards improving your well-being and getting past the stressful situation.
Luckily, there are ways to do this quickly and painlessly. Indeed, selling a house after a divorce can be done through online agents now, meaning that you can receive a cash offer within minutes. There’s also plenty of advice available for when the house can and can’t be sold, such as whether it’s possible to sell up while divorce proceedings are ongoing.
Mindful Meditation in the City
Once the house stuff is out of the way, you can start focusing on your mindset and getting back to normal. Mindful meditation could be the key to this, and the good news is that you don’t need to travel to some Buddhist retreat in Asia to do it.
There are plenty of mindful meditation studios dotted around the city now, offering methods to reflect and relax. Re:Mind Studio in Belgrave is one of the top spots specialising in breathwork and energy healing. The company comes highly recommended, but it’s also going to set you back around £30 per session.
If you don’t want to spend so much on getting your wellness back on track, you could check out some free yoga events in London. There are plenty of classes you can join at little to no cost, such as at the London Buddhist Centre on Roman Road.
Joining Wellness Communities for Support
Getting support from other people is one of the best ways to get through a divorce, so it would be a great idea to join a wellness community in the city. London is a great place to be for organised events where like-minded people get together and share their feelings.
Battersea Yoga has group workshops and community events, where you’ll find mindfulness training and emotional support from your peers. There’s also the School of Life in Bloomsbury, which has practical workshops and group discussions to help you through hard times such as divorce.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of getting divorced, there are worse places to be than London. The growing wellness scene in the city is helping a lot of people get through such hard times.
