Becoming an aligned mama is understanding the impact of nurturing relationships and cherished energy within them. By exploring the concepts of love languages, self-reflection, and aligning personal values, we discover how nurturing relationships can positively affect our loved ones and ourselves.
One of the most important things to remember about nurturing your relationship with your significant other is that your kids are always watching. We get to model to them what it’s like to be in a healthy, loving, cherished relationship.
This is one of the best and, at the same time, most undervalued, parts of parenting. We often live our lives and forget that our kids are taking it all in, even when we don’t think they’re paying attention. This is an opportunity for us to take action and show them what it really means to be in a nurturing relationship.
What does it mean to nurture?
So what does it mean to nurture? Often words get used without us really understanding the intended definition. The word “nurture” means to care for and encourage the development of something.
In this case, we’re nurturing the growth and development of our relationship with our partner or spouse. In doing this we also nurture our children by modeling what a relationship like this looks like. This is something they may not understand now, but it will always be in their subconscious for later in their lives.
Knowing how you want your relationship to look and feel will allow you to make choices that will take you there. That’s what being an aligned mama is all about.
Creating a Nurturing Environment for Relationships
Nurturing relationships requires understanding that everyone has their own way of expressing and receiving love. By knowing the love languages of yourself, your kids, and your spouse you can create a more nurturing environment for all of your family members.
When you decide how you want the marriage to feel, how you express yourselves, and how you want to feel when you’re in the same room, you can start taking action as a team.
It’s important to remember you have a choice in each and every thing you do individually and as a team with your partner.
Embracing Change and Growth
Relationships are dynamic and ever-changing. There is no such thing as staying the same because growth and transformation are natural processes within any lasting relationship.
Making the choice to choose each other every day allows you to evolve together, embrace change, and encourage growth.
While this can sound like a good thing, in reality, it can be uncomfortable. Change usually is. But this is where you get to lean on each other and take this on together. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable is an incredibly valuable skill, not just for your relationship, but for every other aspect of your life as well.
Choosing Each Other Daily
In any long-term relationship, change is inevitable. As individuals, we are continuously evolving, and so are our relationships. Change is inevitable, therefore, choosing each other each and every day is a decision you get to make.
By communicating with your partner and deciding how you want your relationship to look and feel you can navigate the challenges and embrace personal growth together.
This active choice empowers you to create a deeper connection built on mutual support, love, and understanding.
It’s also important to remember that while you have the power to choose each other, you also have the power to decide that your relationship isn’t working any longer and to move on.
While coming to this conclusion can be incredibly difficult, you still have the choice. And that is freeing!
Modeling Nurturing Behavior in Relationships
The impact of your actions and behaviors on your children is huge! Kids observe and internalize the way you behave in your relationships, shaping their understanding of love and connection.
Being conscious of your behavior and communication within your partnership is so important. By embodying nurturing energy, you can create a positive, safe, and loving environment, which teaches your children how to create healthy relationships themselves.
Kids see and hear more than we think they do! We’ve all heard the saying that kids’ brains are like sponges – soaking up all the information they come in contact with. Well, it’s true.
Their perception of love, connection, and communication is greatly influenced by what they observe at home.
Demonstrating love, respect, and open communication helps children understand healthy relationship dynamics and sets the foundation for their future interactions.
Nurturing Yourself
While nurturing your relationship is important, it’s equally vital to nurture yourself as well. Prioritizing personal growth and self-care allows you to show up as your best self in all areas of your life.
Being an aligned mama means recognizing that your own happiness and well-being are essential to creating a thriving family structure. By nurturing yourself, you can model self-love and care to your children, encouraging them to prioritize their own well-being as they grow up.
Self-nurturing involves recognizing the importance of your own personal alignment, being true to yourself, and taking deliberate action to create a life in harmony with your values.
By doing this, you can become the best version of yourself, which impacts all your relationships and overall happiness.
