Importance of Self Care in a Relationship
A few months ago, I had some health issues that landed me in the ER. After some testing, my doctor called to inform me that they had found something that needed to be removed. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning (will keep you posted how everything goes) and this post has reminded me about the importance of self care. A well balanced life keeps you healthier and happier.
Importance of Self Care
With all this stuff happening to my health, it got me thinking about how truly important self care is. I know there is a lot of talk about it but are we REALLY putting effort into ourselves and our relationships?
Our visit to Sanctuary Spa was just what we needed.
Hoping this will encourage each of you to consider a possible spa day to benefit your health.
What does self care do?
Self care is incredibly important to help manage stress and your overall well being. Finding time to do the things that allow you to feel relaxed or happy is vital to your health. Often times we go-go-go until our bodies force us to shut down. Which is when we realize we have been running ourselves too ragged.
Why taking care of your health is important and your relationship?
Research has shown that making time for massage can help boost your ability to deal with stress and even fight disease. Especially when you are in relationship. Marriages have many layers of responsibilities that can lead to high levels of stress. A fun date idea is to head to a spa together. It can really help each of you to decompress and also connect.
What are some self care tips?
- Time Management
- Healthy Eating
- Excerise
- Reducing Stress/ Essential Oils
- Relaxation/Massage Therapy
What you can do to start self care?
The best thing to do is to just start. Make the time daily, weekly and monthly. Make it something that is non -negotiable. If you don’t put yourself first, no one will do it for you.
Thank you again to Sanctuary Spa for sponsoring this self care post and for hosting us. It was an incredible day of relaxation and connecting as a couple.
