Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Thursday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Relationship Struggles
Relationships can be super tough, but it's important to remember that in the end, it's totally worth it because the hard stuff is what creates a stronger & deeper bond with your partner.
I want to talk about some of the hard things that come with being in relationships & how to get through those things & have amazing bonds.
Join me in learning more about relationship struggles this week!
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- I already have a whole week of episodes talking about & explaining everything having to do with codependency. However, I wanted to take a moment to talk about it in regards to avoiding falling into it while in a relationship. But just know that if you want more info & an in-depth chat about it, please listen to those other episodes.
- Here are some quick-hitter things to keep in mind when in a relationship:
- Stop denying your own needs & make self-care a priority. It can be super easy to fall into the trap of making everything all about your partner, but it’s important to know that your needs matter just as much as theirs do.
- Don’t avoid hard conversations or conflict. It may be very difficult to confront your partner when hard topics come up or when discussions need to be had, but if you continue to hide things or try not to make waves, serious resentment can occur & you will constantly live in fear of upsetting your partner, making your relationship difficult to bear after awhile. This is also an opportunity to think about instituting personal boundaries.
- Make sure to not let everything you do be taken for granted. It’s important to have a good balance in your relationship, so make sure you aren’t constantly going out of your way to do things for your partner & not getting any acknowledgment or gratefulness in return.
- Know that time apart is really healthy & needed. Sometimes people think that being addicted to each other is the best thing ever, but in honesty, it’s important to take time apart to be appreciative of your own life & really appreciate when you come back together.
- Know that who you are & what you’re all about is determined by you, not your partner. Don’t let yourself get consumed into being the person you think your partner wants you to be or possibly forcing you to be. Be yourself. It’s not worth it to keep up a charade, that will break down at some point, because if you can’t be yourself, truly, it won’t be a long-lasting relationship. Don’t lose yourself to someone else.
Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
