Practice selfcare to enhance your relationship from "summary" of Love Smart by Phil McGraw
To truly enhance your relationship, you must first take care of yourself. This may seem counterintuitive, but it is essential to prioritize self-care in order to be the best partner you can be. When you neglect your own well-being, you are unable to give your all to your relationship. Self-care involves taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This means eating well, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, managing stress, and seeking support when needed. By taking care of yourself, you are better equipped to handle the challenges that arise in your relationship. When you practice self-care, you are better able to communicate effectively with your partner. You are more patient, understanding, and empathetic. This allows you to resolve conflicts in a healthy and productive manner, rather than letting them escalate into larger issues. Furthermore, self-care helps you maintain a sense of self worth and confidence. When you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to bring positivity and joy into your relationship. Your partner will appreciate your self-assurance and be drawn to your energy and vitality. By prioritizing self-care, you are showing your partner that you value yourself and your relationship. This sets a positive example and encourages your partner to do the same. Together, you can create a strong foundation of health and well-being that will enhance your relationship and bring you closer together.
