Practice selfcare from "summary" of How to Be an Adult in Relationships by David Richo
The practice of self-care is a vital component of being a mature adult in relationships. It involves taking responsibility for our own well-being and happiness, rather than relying on others to fulfill our needs. Self-care requires us to be attentive to our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and to prioritize activities that nourish and rejuvenate us. Self-care is not selfish or self-indulgent; it is an essential aspect of maintaining healthy relationships with others. When we neglect our own needs, we become resentful, exhausted, and unable to give our best to those around us. By making self-care a priority, we are better able to show up fully in our relationships, with energy, compassion, and presence. Self-care can take many forms, depending on our individual preferences and needs. It might involve setting boundaries with others, saying no when we need to, taking time for ourselves, engaging in activities that bring us joy, or seeking support from friends and loved ones. The key is to listen to our inner voice and honor what we truly need in each moment. Self-care is an ongoing practice that requires attention and intention. It is not something we can check off a to-do list and forget about; rather, it is a daily commitment to ourselves and our well-being. By making self-care a priority, we are better equipped to navigate the challenges and complexities of adult relationships with grace and resilience.- Self-care is a radical act of self-love and self-respect. It is a declaration that our well-being matters, and that we are worthy of care and attention. When we practice self-care, we are better able to show up authentically in our relationships, with honesty, vulnerability, and authenticity. By taking care of ourselves, we are better able to take care of those we love.
