Society & Culture:Relationships
It’s been a tough two months, huh?
There’s so much heaviness in life right now from the news, hearing stories from friends and family who have been affected in a myriad of ways, and not knowing when things are going to be “normal” again.
It totally makes sense.
You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or even guilty for being one of the “lucky” ones. Staying at home with your partner has its positives, but can also be quite challenging. Working from home and supporting your kids in their online learning while managing a household and disinfecting everything that comes in your front door is no easy feat.
It’s important to carve out a little time for lightness.
For you and your partner to share a laugh, go for a long walk, or skip the news for an entire 24 hours.
What if you approached the coming week with acceptance of how life is right now, rather than desire for things to “go back?”
If you allowed yourself to find joy and gratitude in what is right now?
When we’re surrounded by so much heaviness, it can be easy not to do this. But, in the process, we suffer.
Our hope for you is that you’ll listen to this episode and allow a little lightness into your relationship this week. We’re sharing more about how remaining in fight-or-flight mode over an extended period of time is damaging, what you can do as an individual and a couple to allow for more positive moments, and how we both do this in our relationships.
