How do you navigate self-care while in a relationship? What is relational self-care? How do you balance the give and take of self-care in relationships?
In this episode of Love Always, Self, Shyra & Karista discuss understanding and navigating a new perspective of self-care and how to balance the give and take between you and any relationship; lover, family member, or friend. In this episode, we discuss an article from Psychology Today, “There is No Such Thing as Self-Care in Relationships” (linked below).
Self-care, in any relationship, requires both giving and taking. When you are needing to take time for yourself, the other person is supporting you in this by giving you time and space to care for yourself.
“One’s taking is another’s giving” - Psychology Today
In almost every aspect of living there are aspects of give and take. It’s about being flexible for yourself and for your partner and finding a balance between the give and take.
Some steps that you can take to help create a balance of give and take in any relationship:
1. Reflect
2. Communicate
3. Listen
4. Reciprocate
Viewing self-care as a relational co-creation will increase mutual support of each other's mental and emotional well-being. Don’t wait until you’re feeling low or close to a breaking point, as this increases the risk of poor communication, coming from a place of lack and irritability, and feeling defensive and reactive. Be proactive, for yourself and for those around you! It will feel much better to address this before you become severely depleted.
“In the pursuit of happiness, one finds themselves looking backwards as to how they get to the future vs looking at the very NOW moment. Just start to create, create one moment and then the next moment, focus your intentions on what it is you wish to create because that is all that there ever is. The now. Only the human mind wishes to look back. We call that memories, which is what your body creates and stores. Your consciousness is only ever creating the now, drawing in lessons and teachings of every NOW moment.”
