Regulate before you relate
Hello beautiful community, One piece of wisdom that’s supported me deeply these past weeks is this: regulate before you relate. I noticed myself slipping into anxious patterns in my relationship—behaviors that didn’t align with the vision I hold for myself or for us. So I began using my morning journaling practice to self-regulate before turning on my phone and inviting in the world’s noise. This simple shift leaves me grounded, confident, and able to show up as the man I want to be in my relationship. If you’re struggling with anxiety, may this reminder support you too. You are worthy of all the love—especially your own. 🙏
