Since the beginning of 2026, I have been making some important changes in my life.
โ
As I move further into my mid 40s, taking care of my health has become really important to me. I started to realise that if I want to feel good in my body and have energy for the life I want to live, I need to make different choices.
โ
It wasn't the time that was getting in the way, or that I was too busy to look after myself.
I had so many excuses. It is too hard. I cannot imagine giving up my favourite foods. I cannot give up eating rice or bread. Since I was a child I was so used to having rice with curry for dinner.
โ
And then something became really clear.
โ
I was the one standing in my own way โ and then I had a wake-up call I could not ignore. I became even more determined to take the reins and do something about it.
โ
This made me think about something I see often in relationships.
โ
We can spend so much time focused on what our partner should be doing differently. How he should listen more. How he should be more present. How he should just understand us better.
โ
But here is the question I keep coming back to.
โ
Have you taken care of the relationship you have with yourself?
โ
Do you listen to yourself? Do you trust yourself? Do you honour what you actually need?
โ
Because the relationship we have with ourselves shapes everything we bring to our partner.
โ
When we start taking responsibility for how we show up, something shifts. Not because we forced our partner to change, but because we stopped waiting and started from a different place within ourselves.
โ
So, I want to ask you โ where in your relationship are you waiting for him to change, when the real shift might start with you?
