Personal Wellness + Your Partner
Personal wellness has everything to do with your partner. Let that sink in.
Here's a bit more of my story…
Along my motherhood journey and especially within my marriage, I've learned that the way we treat ourselves will ALWAYS impact the people around us. If you’re stressed out - guess who gets the brunt of it? On the contrary...If you’re excited about life - guess who gets to celebrate with you?
As Dave and I have grown further into our relationship, we’ve had seasons where neglecting self-care and prioritizing everything BUT ourselves and each other shows up in BIG ways around our house.
We’ve learned more than anything that neglect = irresponsibility and irritability. And that level of neglect doesn’t work for us, our goals and our marriage.
The reality is HE is the why behind my decision making...
He’s why I wake up early for extra quiet time.
He’s why I’m working hard to strengthen my relationship with God so I never lose sight of TRUTH surrounding our love and our life.
He’s why I choose to move my body daily so I can show up focused and from a place of patience.
He’s why I remember to positively fuel my body and brain vs. tear it down with negativity, energy zapping foods and saying yes too often.
He’s why I’m going back to therapy - because he knows my brain needs it and unleashing ALL THE THINGS on him alone isn’t fair.
Because of the relationship I have with HIM - I know exactly what I need so I can show up as best as possible for US. When it comes to learning your own needs and taking care of yourself, don’t forget to factor in that all of those teeny tiny decisions affect the ones around you, too.
