By the end of the year 2020, they say that the statistics for the newborn as well as for divorce will increase. While I am not opting for making babies, divorce is neither an option. 😀
Flo travels a lot for his work. Previously myself as well. We get together some weeknights and weekends. We have our time together and time apart. Freedom, personal space and absence makes the heart ponder more. What can we, as a couple, do confined together 24hours for > 90 days? No freedom, no personal space and plenty of presence makes the heart heavier.
It was certainly not easy for the first few weeks. We got on each other’s nerves. We step on each other’s toes. We occupy each others space. No date nights. No boy or girls nights. No hobby time. The colour is fading.
Its time magic kicks in!
We sat down and set some rules accordingly to our personality, habits and preferences. One very rewarding thing that we did to give each other the freedom and space we needed was to each start a new challenge.
Flo jumped into the world of video as an extension to share his knowledge on charisma and speaking. I went deeper into the world of yoga and started to master headstand (Salamba Shirshasana) and handstand (Adho Mukha Vrksasana). After 90 days, Flo has published 56 youtube videos. I have done several variations of Salamba Shirshasana. Admiration takes over and leaves us less time to focus on annoyance. I say less, we know its unrealistic to avoid. We got our freedom to do what we like to do. We got out own space. We celebrate our successes with each other and friends (online). Life is colourful again!
The good news is that we do not need confinement to commit to or start a new challenge.
- pick a challenge that brings about fulfilling your needs
- pick a timeline to complete the challenge
- be there to support when one starts the journey (give a kick/pat on the butt)
- keep each other updated on the progress
- celebrate the success
Admiration is the colour of love. Have a go and share your magical experience!
