It’s crucial to ensure that you engage in regular self-care. In this way, you can consciously give attention to another person. Journaling is an ideal method for self-assessment.
The practice of mindfulness or meditation can take on varied forms, but each means to put you in a space where you’re present in the moment with no distractions, “single-tasking,”
That means cutting off connectivity; no social media, internet, or business during specific times when there should be uninterrupted interaction between the two of you.
In a sense, this is an act of being present virtually because you need to be conscious about the content you send, so it prepares the other person for an evening of “presence.”
Sometimes a night spent in a t-shirt and sweats, just lounging on the couch with some hot cocoa, is comforting while you have an in-depth conversation.
Make sure that your partner is the first person you confide any information to, whether it be a reaction to something, an update on a life event, or divulging opinions and secrets you share with no one else.
That can not only give you an evening of enlightening conversation, but it has the potential for giving each of you new interests, possibly new hobbies, and the likelihood for some excursions.
Many people are incessant overachievers leading to the cause for having to learn methods for being present in a relationship.
