Hello! Getting Reconnected After a Long Day Pays Off Big!
Maybe you are like so many of usā¦
Where we spend more time away from each otherā¦off at jobs, locked in another room, tied to yet another Zoom meeting or conference call.
Or busy chasing kids + crittersā¦getting kids online for schoolā¦offline and outdoors for exercise and fun.
In the midst of a busy lifeā¦we still need to plan and come togetherā¦kind of like closing the chapter on that part of our day and opening up the next.
Itās all about successful, mindfulā¦transitions of shutting on part down and connecting for the next. By setting an intentional ritual for coming togetherā¦upon returning home or completing your workday can and does help you feel more connected to your mateā¦and visa versa!
Itās a simple snap of the fingersā¦that has you shifting back into āUSā.
Sadly, this kind of connection is often lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy couple, busy lifeā¦with walking through the front doorā¦mail in hand + distraction as you sort through junk vs billsā¦or cell phone pressed to your/their ear + caught in mid conversation.
Or fixing dinner, checking kidsā homework, rushing kids to, yet another after school activityā¦or other obligations.
Your ācheck-inā ritualā¦habitā¦connection, can be as quick as stopping + looking at themā¦even getting eye contact⦠to ask about each otherās day or more leisurely like sipping a glass of wine together to catch up.
Need to play catch up with each other + prep dinner or knock out a chore?
Itās perfectly āokā ā¦even encouraged to multitask.
Adding efficiency by working together each day to complete a chore such as dinner prep or dishesā¦is actually a bonus win! When couples can work together ā even at the end of a long dayā¦it creates a bond, a place of gratitude for one another + working together reinforces teamworkā¦a huge must in successful couples.
Choose something that fits your lifestyleā¦! Itās your marriage, your relationshipā¦you donāt need to copy anyone elseā¦create what feels, what works best for both of you.
Thatās the win in successful transitionsā¦another win for your relationship.
