5/365 ⛺️ Ólafsvik
Don’t forget to share with others what you need when you need it. Yesterday was the first day I felt anxiety from a lack of personal space. At home I was used to having consistent “me” time and operating independently in our relationship, but for 4 days it’s been the 2 of us in smaller spaces ie: airplane and camper, all the time.
What’s interesting and heart-warming in a way, is that I wasn’t the one who pushed myself to be alone. I got antsy in our common area at the campsite with Clayton and he said “you don’t have to sit here if you don’t want to” - I didn’t?? OBVIOUSLY. So I just went to our camper and spent an hour or so alone.
It was my first self-aware experience in my “how to stay me while we gone” self-care map. I’m still a bit anxious today; Clayton and I talk about it and he understands, is not offended, and feels it too.
The biggest thing about self-care, wellness, and mental health work is how you use it and how you show up in an environment that is not your norm. It’s easier to find comfort when we’re used to our day to day, have our people and our routines. But life won’t always be that way.
I’m so grateful to have a partner who KNOWS me. And now I know what it feels like when I need some alone time to feel 100. It’s only the beginning for this season of life but so far, it feels good.
