8. Balance

Keeping a sensible balance, or temperance, can be a tough challenge during a divorce. The powerful emotions can easily drive one to extremes; drinking too much, eating too much, working too much, road rage or other aggressive behaviors as examples.

But I’ve never heard anyone who practiced those behaviors talk about how happy they were while doing them. Those behaviors are just more ways to get dragged down.

Try to keep that balance. Pray and ask God for the grace of temperance and to help you avoid situations where you may be tempted to go to extremes.

When tempted, invoke your angel. Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him: he trembles and flees at your guardian angel’s sight. – St. John Bosco
