Over time, you'll discover just how essential self-care is after breaking the bad habit of practically being your boyfriend’s or girlfriend's identical twin.
Bettering oneself should be everyone’s top priority, and if you don’t take the time to put yourself first, you’re doing something wrong.
You have to be able to grow independently first before you can grow with someone else.
It’s like the oxygen mask scenario on airplanes.
You have to give yourself oxygen first before trying to help anyone else; in other words, you need to let yourself breathe and provide for yourself before you can give to anyone else.
If you don’t make the space — to watch your favorite shows, take long hot showers, play games, do a face mask, or anything else you do to relax — you may start resenting your partner.
Why?
Because you never have the time to be alone and do things that are important to YOU instead of just doing the activities you enjoy as a unit.
So, don’t feel guilty about taking a moment away while you make a dream board and sip on some wine in your downtime!
Taking at least one day apart, or even a few hours here and there to decompress by yourself, can work wonders for your self-esteem and your relationship.
