Have you seen the film Sliding Doors? Where a woman's whole life is different because she makes it through a closing train door to what it would have been if she hadn't got through?

I sometimes think about that during moments in my life. But not with regard to the big moments more the little ones.

Let me explain - you know that moment where you're in a rush and everything seems to be going wrong and you drop something or break it and then you've also got a clean up job to do too. In my head there's two ways to go with this:

1. The epic meltdown and the raging at the world about how it's against you and could you not get a damn break today; or
2. The quiet resignation that that has happened and you're just going to have to deal with it and the sooner you start clearing it up the sooner it's down.

I think this moment speaks a lot about nervous system regulation. When I'm dysregulated and feeling at the capacity of what I can deal with I'm more likely to go with option 1. When I'm regulated and have taken time to nurture and nourish myself I'm more likely to go with option 2.

What about you? How are you feeling today and would you be option 1 or option 2?

Who doesn't love a bit of Oprah wisdom?

The simple truth is that none of us get through life without encountering life events that we find challenging, distressing and which can rock us to our very core. Separation is definitely one of those - sometimes even for the person that chose to separate and often for the person that didn't see it coming.

We can wonder how on earth we will get through this difficult time. How can we face some of our greatest fears? What if we have to make changes we really don't want to make?

Even through all of this there can be wisdom. We can learn just how strong we actually are and that we are capable of navigating so much more than we thought. We can realise that we can face our fears and be OK. Sometimes even things that we thought were the worst things we can face can turn into a life that feels good on the other side.

Do you have a positive from your separation that you weren't expecting?

Separation can be daunting and overwhelming in trying to work out. So often all these things you need to sort out roll round your head (annoyingly often at 3 a.m.).

So many things seem interconnected so you can't resolve one without the other.

If you feel you would just like to look at a road map or have a plan to follow then you may find our online self-study course helpful. It's called the Road Map to Surviving and Thriving in a separation. It's broken down into videos that are no more than 12 minutes long to help you to get to grips with what's needed and what you need to think about.

It's only £47 so why not have a look and see if it can help.

Grief is such a strange journey. It has those waves of huge emotion where you think you are going to get sucked under the wave and it also has those moments of numbness when you seem to stop feeling or believe you can never cry again.

Underneath all of this there is often a resilience. It doesn't necessarily shout and you might not always notice it's there. Maybe a friend tells you how well you're coping. You might think you're not doing well but then you realise actually it's been pretty awful but you are coping. Somehow.

Or you look back on things that have happened and get a sense of how you've survived and that you do feel a bit stronger than you did 6 months ago.

It might even be that you catch yourself smiling or laughing one day and the realisation hits you that you haven't done that in a while and dammit it felt GOOD!

Resilience isn't always managing alone or stoical either. Often it's about asking for help when it's needed, or giving your space to rest/cry/grieve/take time out.
