Having a really good relationship with one’s Self is to recognize that we thrive when we are part of a community but also know that nurturing our relationship with Self comes first in order to live a full and happy life.
We are the only ones who can access our innermost thoughts, fears, and desires. No other person can be as intimate with us as we will be if we are honest with what’s going on within us. Therefore, listening to our heart, and the body’s needs is essential to sustaining a good relationship with ourselves.
You Create Healthy Boundaries
Everybody is busy with work, socializing and running errands that it almost feel like 24 hours isn’t enough. However, you know it is important that you prioritize your health and make a conscious effort to balance your activities every day in a way that it won’t feel like you didn’t get a chance to breathe before the day ended. After all, being healthy is necessary for you to be able to perform your daily tasks.
You Understand The Importance Of Self-Care
Life is meant to be enjoyed not dragged into. Instead of letting the challenges of life take a toll on your health, know when to draw the line. You’re the one living your life, take control and learn to indulge yourself and prioritize your health. This is why you understand the importance of injecting a simple exercise to your daily routine, striving to achieve 8 hours of sleep every night, making a conscious effort to eat better and pampering yourself with regular massages.
You Keep Your Expectations To A Reasonable Level
If you keep on expecting things to go your way, you are bound to be disappointed big time. People will be late, traffic gets heavy, and house gets messy (especially when you have kids). But just because things aren’t in order doesn’t mean that your life is a failure.
You Express Our Needs And Intentions Without Worrying About What Others Might Think
Nowadays, people are pressured to make smart decisions which oftentimes completely disregard your feelings. This can really be taxing not just emotionally but as well as mentally. Stop doing this to yourself and start respecting what your heart is telling you. If you’re asked to do something you don’t really want but seems logical or beneficial, pay attention to how your body responds. Most of the time, when you’re faced with a difficult decision that doesn’t sit well with you, you tense up or get tight in the chest. That can be a signal from your heart. Listen to it and respectfully decline. You wouldn’t get those signals if the situation feels right.
You Cherish Your Alone Time
You understand that having a strong network of friends and family for support strengthens not just your emotional well-being but as well as mental and physical one. But knowing how to enjoy your own company is crucial too. You make time for yourself and spend that alone time in a healthy way.
Alone time is a welcome treat. Eating brunch alone with the morning paper or staying with a book on a Friday night is something we can all do regularly to reset our mind and pay attention to our thoughts. People who feel dread when left alone often avoid facing their own issues compared to those who treasure one-on-one time with themselves generally have a healthy self-relationship.
You Don’t Hold On To Grudges
It’s understandable to be mad at someone who has wronged you. But, carrying hatred in your heart for a long time is never gonna change anything with what happened, it will only sabotage your own happiness. Let it go.
You Embrace Your Breakdowns
We’ve always been told not to dwell on negative emotions and difficult situations. Although doing that is easier, it’s also not good to completely avoid them or deny yourself of them. What you should learn instead is to learn how to deal or manage those. Let yourself experience the hard things and you’ll surely grow and be able to better handle them next time.
You Don’t Settle
You hate your job? Quit and find a new one. Bored to death? Explore, learn something new or even take a different route to work, you’ll be surprised by how changing your routine can make a difference. The point is, do something to make it better than just accept and live resenting it.
People say that stress is all in the mindset, but you should know that your body condition play a big role in it too. Receiving adjustments from a chiropractor here in Singapore can make a significant difference in your stress level by relieving pain or discomfort caused by misalignment, helping you sleep better at night, and even treat other health conditions like constant headache and digestive problems which are without a doubt stressful.
You Feel Genuinely Happy For Others Success
When we know that we each have our own paths and that the meaning of success is based on our own definition, we are most likely to share the happiness of others when they experience a win. Our journey is our own and will always be unique to us.
Gratitude is part of each day. Appreciating the little things and living by the belief that we are not owed anything is part of the practice of gratitude. It relates to not expecting anything from others and vice versa. When we hold ourselves accountable for our fortune in this life, as well as accept that we cannot always control everything, then we become kinder to ourselves and others.
