3 ways to have a better relationship
These 3 tips will not just help you have a better relationship with your partner, but also with siblings, kids, friends and even work relationships.
1. Concentrate on the good in that person.
The more you look at the goodness, the more you will see. The same goes for the negative, the more you focus on that, the more you will see. What do you want to focus on? Things to remember:
You are not perfect either.
This action of focusing on the positive will become part of your character, so it will improve you and how you see life
The energy you put out there will return to you, so what would you prefer to send out.
2. Be responsible for your own happiness.
Often, especially in our intimate relationships, we look to the other person to make us happy. The reality is it is a huge burden to put on anyone’s shoulders. Instead take ownership of your own happiness.
This will give you the ability and power to be happy at any time without the dependence on others.
You know yourself better than anyone, so you are best placed to make you happy!
By removing this burden from others, these relationships will be lighter, easier and give more joy.
3. Disagree with respect.
We are all different and are bound to differ in opinion but do this with respect. Shouting and being abusive won’t help. It isn’t You v Them. Have the intention that you want your relationship to win – that way you both win.
Agree with them a time/place for the conversation. Approach the topic with grace, dignity and keep your positive energy.
Seek the best-case scenario.
Communicate how you feel, own the feelings and rather than blame your partner, and give them a chance to voice their feelings too.
Don’t turn it into a drama – keep your emotions in check. And only discuss that topic. Not years and years issues.
Listen to their point, digest it, and repeat it back to make sure you have understood. Only then voice your point.
Whatever the outcome, remember your relationship is the priority.
