A Bridge Between Self-Care and Relationship Care
Padma Gordon
There is a bridge between the beauty found in spiritual self-care and the way beauty helps you to care for your primary relationship as a Rare mother. In the last session of our Spiritual Self-care workshop, we reflected on beauty.
It is incredibly nourishing for you to see the beauty in every moment as precious with your Rare child and family. The opportunity is to find beauty in the simple things, in the moments between the challenges and the emergencies. There are windows that open where the fresh air and sunshine can flood in and beauty reveals itself. These are the times to inhale and receive it and then exhale to allow yourself to relax.
Coming Up
Our next series of Tuesday workshops will focus on “Rare Mothers in Relationships.” We will explore the particular challenges and opportunities that arise for you as a Rare mother in your partnership.
Practice finding the goodness in yourself and noticing your own beauty. This opens you to seeing the beauty and looking for the good in your partner. Appreciation is gold in relationships.
We will be referencing my first book, “Being Together: Practical Wisdom for Loving Yourself and Your Partner“ during the next six months of Tuesday morning workshops.
Some of the themes will include:
Attachment theory and how it can help you understand yourself and your partner
How to strengthen your experience of being a couple
Deepening your commitment to each other
Expanding your ability to TEAM PLAY
Developing the art of active listening and how it invites a feeling of intimacy
Cultivating the habit of appreciating each other often
In this workshop, you will expand the skills you need to support you to have a more fulfilling partnership as you care for your Rare child. You will have a chance to share your personal relationship challenges and receive reflection from other Rare mothers. It will be a rich and rewarding journey and I do hope you can join us starting this Tuesday, July 6 at 10am.
Please feel free to reach out to me and send me a private message if you have any questions. I am here as your ally to support you on your journey. I look forward to being with you soon.
