Be aware of intense emotions or negative thoughts, pause whatever you are doing and breathe, and when you are feeling calm, reframe your perspective about what is actually happening (e.g., put yourself in their shoes and imagine how they might be feeling).
Tiredness and poor work-life balance are related to one another. When you are overworked and pushed beyond your limits at work, you may develop chronic fatigue. Being tired makes you less mindful of what you eat and drink, or how much exercise you get each week.
For the next 30 days, challenge yourself to write a half or full-page journal entry about a quality you love in your partner. Focus on the little things that they do or say that make you feel cared for. This exercise will train your brain to look for the positives that your partner brings to your life, rather than focusing on where they fall short.
