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.
