We are taking a little break here at Hearts & Stripes podcast to wrap up some exciting Military Marriage Day planning, but don't worry!  We have you covered with a fun replay series where you can there from me, Bree Carroll as I collaborate on other amazing #milspouse platforms.   Today's replay is from the Pillar Deployment Retreat in 2020.  I had the opportunity to speak on the Power of Relationships during your deployment season.  Here is what I discuss:  - There are 3 relationships you need to be intentional about. #1 Your relationship with yourself. #2 Your marriage relationship. #3 Your relationship with everyone else. - How you handle each relationship will either positively or negatively impact your deployment season. - #1 Your relationship with self: You have power of choice.  Use it to take care of you mental, physical and emotional needs. - #2 Your marriage relationship: Deployments are a great opportunity to build on your relationship by thinking outside the box, using effective communication and bringing new intentionality to how you care for one another. - #3 Your relationship with everyone else: Be cautious of how much power are you giving others in this season.  - The CARE Method for your deployment season:  Carefully Consider if the relationship is charging you up or depleting your energy Asses the Foundation as to if the relationship is mutually beneficial Reinforce the Structure by either building the relationship or creating a boundary for it Engage + Trust the help that is offered to you and listen to yourself     Listen to our Heart Tracks II playlist on Spotify   Military Marriage Day Summit info here at www.militarymarriageday.com !
