Oh, my gosh, please do this simple thing on Sunday. Look at the week ahead. Sit down with your spouse, your partner, significant other, and just say, hey, honey, here's what I have coming up this week, and here's what I'm kind of hoping for here. What do you have coming up this week? What are you hoping for? Because when you both know the expectations that each other has for the week, you can support each other, you can cheer each other on. And now when the expectations go sideways, you have a little bit of camaraderie. Be like, oh, honey, remember that meeting? I wanted this to happen. It didn't go well. She's like, yeah, oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry. I know you wanted to go like that. It didn't go well. And you're like, yeah. And now you've got empathy and sympathy and compassion. You have a comrade as you're trying to achieve things. One reason stress can really overtake our life is because we approach our life solo.
