Remember yourself

In all types of relationships, there’s usually some sacrifice. And for many of us, that could mean suppressing our own wants, needs, and feelings.

This can lead to unhealthy tradeoffs — and if too one-sided, could push us to swing wildly to another fixed mindset: “Always put yourself first” or “My way or the highway.”

But I like this new affirmation that is softer & kinder: “Remember yourself.”

That means you can still consider your loved ones, but also deeply consider your own thoughts and feelings. It’s a beautiful thing to take care of others, but equally beautiful to take care of ourselves.
