Couples Therapy!

Ah! I know I am not good at keeping up with the blog but I am trying my best trust me. Well, sitting in my office I listen to people all day, issues with their partners, parents, depression, anger, anxiety, couples quarrel, you name it and I have heard it! Let me tell you couples therapy is not easy as it looks, when you have two adults with you in a room and both believe their way is the right way, there is no room for a third person!
Well, I love my clients and my job its rewarding in its own little ways! Once a client asked me "you listen to all our problems all day who do you go to when you are upset?" I thought for a minute and said my husband, family and friends of course. Once the client left I realized I crib a lot only to my husband and poor K takes in all but surely he will show me the mirror (I mean the logical and rational side) every time I go overboard!
We both are working towards our weight loss goal and let me remind you again its better when you have company during your weight loss journey as it is not an easy one! We both keep each other motivated to eat healthy and work out. We have been walking a lot and he has been swimming and I am doing Zumba.
He sometimes will go on a walk by himself and today he asked me to go with him to the trails he walks. It was beautiful and so relaxing and fresh. The path had few small trees with fragrant flowers which made the walk even better. Needless to say, I kept talking for 60 minutes during the 75min walk. After a point I realized I talk non-stop and how does this guy take it all? I asked him and he simply said "well, I don't talk much so you compensate for me. I like listening to you (at times, lol)
I must admit I enjoy these walks it is a great work out (due to the miles and the slopes in between) and I get to spend some quality time with hubby and talk without taking a breath! It's therapeutic for me!
Do get a buddy or your better half to join you on your workouts or walks, it really helps. You both can walk together and if you choose to go to the gym you don't have to hang out together. He/She can do cardio while you do the weights or you can be in the gym while he/she is swimming!
Try this simple couples therapy, you will enjoy it for sure!
Find out what is therapeutic for you alone or as a couple in this busy world.
