If you have been thinking about what is it that sustains relationships and makes it wholesome, here is the answer. No, it is not love, nor is it the need of being together – it is the art of loving one self. Loving oneself has nothing to do with being vain. What we are talking here is about being enthusiastic and inspired.
For example if there is a man who is bored with his monotonous life, who is extremely sensitive but still unromantic and self centered; there’s no one who will be interested in such a man. On the other hand if there is a man who accepts each day as it comes and is enthusiastic about everyone will love to be with such a person. A person has to be enthusiastic everyday of life and that does not mean that he will find enthusiasm in every walk of life but instead will have to motivate himself t find it.
Try encouraging healthy relationships with no matter who you are surrounded by. Here are some tips to do so.
Communicate – No family relationship is complete if there is no communication. Relationships require open communication between the people involved. With proper communication there could be a lot of misunderstandings that can be avoided in every way possible. Do not only talk as a way of communicating but also be very patient and listen t the entire story on the other side too. Do not interrupt each other while speaking. Do not get angry and act immature.
Share – Share your feelings. Do not let bitterness creep in. You need t be open about your feelings and you need to be open enough to hear about other’s feelings as well. Sharing is a very important part of solving relationship problems. This gives out a very clear message that the person you are sharing your thoughts with is indeed close to your heart. Do not expect one to understand that he or she is close to you if you do not share your feelings with them.
Respect – Again a very important aspect when it comes to relationship help. If you do not respect someone do not expect respect in return. No matter how close people are there always has to be respect for one another in a relationship. Disagreements are bound to happen at some stage or the other but you need to understand that thee disagreements is what is giving you a chance to get closer. Respect one another for the people you actually are not the people you “think” each other to be.
Trust – Trusting someone means that you love them enough to let your guard down around them. When you want to be in a healthy relationship you need to let your guard down and you need to trust that the person will take care of you and won’t let you down. If something goes wrong once in a while just accept it as normal because this is bound to happen to everyone. Everyone goes through ups and downs
