Imagine for a moment two people in a great relationship?

What would it look like?

Do you see them prioritizing time with each other?

How would they speak to one another?

Would they express kind words and even words of encouragement for each other?

Would they, on occasion, buy gifts for each other?

Would they celebrate each other’s victories and be there to console in times of loss?

If you’re nodding your head in agreement, then you have a good idea of what a good relationship would look like.

So, let me ask you this.

How often do you behave this way with yourself?

Confused?

Well, the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself. And how you feel about and behave towards yourself will determine how you behave with others.

Think of your relationship with yourself this way. You can’t grow a good healthy plant in poor soil. So, if your relationship with yourself isn’t healthy, it’s going to be difficult for you to have a good relationship with anyone else.

Now you might disagree, and that’s okay. But you know, deep down, when you’re struggling to have a good relationship with yourself, it eventually seeps into your interactions with others.

So, how do you have or improve your relationship with yourself?

You prioritize it.

You put in the work, just as you would with any other relationship that’s important to you.

I don’t need to give you step-by-step instructions on how to have a good relationship because you already know what it takes to do so. However, if you need a few tips, refer to the top of this blog post for ideas of where to start.

So, if you haven’t already, then start working on your relationship with yourself today. Treat yourself just as you would any other relationship you value, and over time, you’ll begin to experience the beauty and pleasure of your most important relationship.
