On the 7th Day of Christmas, we review the topic of Balance in Relationships. This article explores the dynamics of maintaining equilibrium between self-care and nurturing our connections with others. When we find ourselves out of balance, we may slip into unhealthy patterns, such as people-pleasing, co-dependency, or hyperindependence. By achieving a harmonious balance, we learn to enjoy deep, fulfilling connections with others without losing sight of our own identities and aspirations.

“Honoring and valuing our self-sufficiency whilst collaborating and cooperating with others cultivates harmonious relationships that celebrate both individuality and connection.”
