Don't bring home the leftovers

Our loved ones (especially our partner) matter so much. If everything falls apart, we treasure them to help us come back together.

Yet at the end of the day, they get what’s left of us. Most of our energy goes towards the “others” in our day — our colleagues, neighbors, maybe even strangers.

And we can “come home” feeling spent, leaving room for irritability and crankiness. What if we could flip the script?

Be intentional about saving energy for them. Give them fresh, not stale or old.

Likely a more tasty experience for all involved. (Happy Valentine’s day this weekend!)
