When we start from a foundation of mindful awareness, we have so much more potential to get our needs met and really see each other.

I view mindfulness as a crucial relationship tool to help us slow down, and really strive to understand ourselves and our partner from a compassionate place. ๐Ÿ’œ

Last weekend I had the privilege of leading a group therapy retreat for people with terminal cancer. It was such an emotional and powerful experience that I'll be unpacking for a long time, and I was able to distill this wisdom from it.

For me, this comes just in time for seeing friends and families over the upcoming holiday season. I hope you get to take something from it too.

We all carry past hurts into our partnerships. By practicing awareness and reflection, we give ourselves the option to engage in a more productive dialogue with ourselves and our partner.

We're culturally conditioned to expect partnerships to *always* look like the initial honeymoon phase.

I'm here to remind you: The perfect relationship doesn't exist. We shouldn't expect our partner to meet each and every one of our needs. Healthy conflict is normal and important.

Sometimes the work is to accept, not fix or change, relationship imperfections. ๐Ÿ’œ
