My fiancé Patrick and I recently took a couple of weeks off to travel, enjoy one another, and see family and friends in different places.
This experience reminded me about how important it is to take time and reenergize your connection with your partner, or loved ones in general, and to step out of the automation of day-to-day life.
Today, I’ll share with you my tips on how to go about a Relationship Reboot of your own!
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Be mindful yet spontaneous. Know how much rest you need. Go to that show you saw a flyer about. Eat at that restaurant that a friend recommended. Discover and enjoy things that light up your world.
✔️ Don’t be a vacation martyr. Pay attention to how much rest and activity you and the other person like. Speak up about what you want to do at that moment. You can still have fun together while doing things on your own.
✔️ For a staycation, have a deliberate closing and reopening of your regular life. Signal your system that you’re stepping out of your normal flow of life and into that special space. It can look like lighting a candle or shutting down your computer.
✔️ Create lists in advance. It can be a list of restaurants you’ve been meaning to try or something I call “a pleasure menu.” Preparation can be so freeing. Make informed decisions that spark joy, and don’t default to what’s quick or easy because it’s likely not what you really want.
✔️ Ultimately, a Relationship Reboot is nourishment. Allow yourself to drop in and keep in touch with a deeper octave of yourself. Remember what you loved about your loved ones before you became cogs in the wheel of life.
