In the heat of summer, our relationships can sometimes feel the burn too. Keeping the spark alive can take a backseat between jam-packed schedules and vacation planning.
But it doesn't have to be this way! By incorporating simple self-care practices into your summer routine, you can cultivate a deeper connection and strengthen your bond with your partner.
What exactly is self-care? It means taking an active role in protecting your own physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. For couples, it's just as important to nurture the relationship itself through activities you enjoy together. Maybe it's a weekly date night, an anniversary trip, or simply being intentional about undivided conversation.
The key is making your relationship a priority without losing yourself in the process. Set aside solo time to read that book, take a yoga class, or meet up with friends. Focusing on self-care allows you to be more present and patient with your partner.
Does this all sound great in theory, but you're not sure where to start? Here’s a step-by-step guide to making self-care a natural part of your relationship this summer.
The Couple's Guide to Self-Care This Summer
(tips you can start as soon as TOMORROW)
1
Sunrise or Sunset Rituals: Begin or end your day by watching the sunrise or sunset together. This peaceful time can be spent meditating, sharing your aspirations, or simply enjoying the silence. It’s a beautiful way to connect and appreciate the moment while basking in nature’s beauty.
2
Relaxing Water-Based Activities: On hot days, plan activities involving water to stay cool while enjoying each other’s company. This could be a leisurely swim at the lake, a calm canoe ride, or simply lounging by the pool. Water settings are inherently soothing and can be a wonderful backdrop for deep conversations and quiet togetherness.
3
Cultivate a Garden: Gardening is a nurturing activity that can be both relaxing and rewarding. Plant a small garden of herbs, flowers, or vegetables. This can be a serene weekly date that allows you to connect with each other and with nature, and you’ll both benefit from the stress-relieving qualities of gardening.
4
Healthy Summer Cooking: Spend time together in the kitchen creating meals with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Summer offers an abundance of fresh produce; make it a fun activity to visit farmers' markets and then cook a new dish together. This promotes health and provides a delightful sensory experience.
