I believe that when we take care of ourselves, our relationships are better, healthier. When I work with a couple I always do a level of individual work, making sure that they are being accountable for themselves, and making sure they are taking care of themselves, mentally, physically and emotionally.
What does it mean to take care of yourself mentally, physically and emotionally? Mental is the way we process things and emotional is the way we express things and I believe physical speaks for itself. I look at all three as going together hand and hand. If we take care of ourselves physically i.e., exercise, eat healthy, get enough sleep, spend time with friends, do something we enjoy, we are going to benefit mentally and emotionally. Mental and emotional care should also consist of, decluttering our minds by writing or journaling, meditation, talking to someone in our support system, reading, or relaxing.
Hoping you can see how they all intertwine and how it is important to give to yourself. Listen to yourself and learn what you need and when you need it. If we do this we can improve our happiness which will improve the happiness in our relationship(s).
MY THOUGHT
Always put you first and care for you, if you don't, how do you expect to care or be good for anyone else?
