This is why people forget who they are. They
tend to lose themselves in a relationship and/or family. I see it all the time
and I actually still have a problem with this from time to time. A healthy
person and a healthy soul begin with you. When you’re happy and content it will
filter through you and into your relationship/family.
Have a conversation with your partner/spouse and
let them know that you need this time and that it’s an essential part of your
relationship and well-being.
Taking care of yourself can be simple, but needs
to be deliberate. Carve out time for you, for your sanity.
