The Great NEWS posts in 2015 are dedicated to sharing Healthy Habits and today in honor of Valentine’s Day we discuss ways to create Raving Relationships in our life. It can be extremely challenging to build, maintain and sustain lasting quality relationships. This post is devoted to baby steps we can all do to enhance and empower our family, fans and friends to feel as if they have a relationship to rave to others about. Maintaining happy and healthy relationships requires a clear vision and mastery action plans focused on healthy habits that build upon those relationships.
It is easy to forget to invest the energy, support and time required for raving relationships. Many people simply have not been taught and therefore do not know how to do it well. We often get so caught up in our own day to day living we forget that our relationships require some Tender Loving Care (TLC) to keep them thriving.
When we learn how to focus our attention and energy on meeting the needs and wants of those around us it is much easier to build great relationships.
When we learn how to focus our attention and energy on meeting the needs and wants of those around us it is much easier to build great relationships. When we have a regular ritual and routine of genuinely liking, listening and looking at others we create a natural bond and better connections.
It is not a matter of accepting and agreeing with everything they do and say but rather acknowledging them for where they are at this point and time and the progress they have made. One of the most beneficial things we can do to strengthen and support our relationships is to be a better listener and even better listener. Yes, you read that right. We have two ears and one mouth and when we learn to listen more and speak less we greatly improve our relationships.
Making a daily habit of practicing our listening skills is one of the best things we can do to learn, like, and love the people in our life. Being a better listener has been found to help improve many areas of our life simultaneously.
It is very beneficial to invest a few minutes with a family member or friend to check in and really connect on a deeper level by really listening and then saying or showing some acknowledgment or appreciation about what they just shared. This is the process of active listening where you focus on what they are saying and repeating back something or simply reply with a kind acknowledgment or words of support.
Small steps like asking for additional information or a question of clarification about what we heard is a very powerful techniques to build better bonds with others.
Letting people know you feel they are a benefit and blessing in your life deepens the connection. Giving praise and thanks to a person is one of the best things you can do to build stronger ties and trust. Everyone wants to be accepted, acknowledged, and appreciated for who they are and what they do. Our happiness and health is enhanced when we do this for others as well as ourselves.
Touch is another method that is easy and effective for showing our level of comfort, concern, and connection to others. When done appropriately and approvingly will add a higher emotional, mental, and physical connection. Touch requires a minimum amount of effort and time yet greatly enhances our connection with our others.
We can add a form of touch through our actions and words without even touching someone. By using words like: “I am touched by”, “I feel your sincerity”, “that is touching”, “I hope you feel the connection”, How do you feel”, “Give yourself a pat on the back”, we can enhance our connection and touch with others. This goes a long way to acknowledging, accepting, and admiring the people in our lives.,
Eye contact is another great way to enhance and expand our relationships as we fully open up our hearts and soul to another person. it can be very helpful as a part of our daily routine to start the day by looking at ourselves in the mirror and sending appreciation and love. Why not start our days with a positive meaning and message about what we are grateful for in our life? If we do not accept and love ourselves unconditionally how will we be able to accept and love others unconditionally?
To enhance our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well being it is essential to remember to continually offer kindness, praise, and thanks to our regular relationships.
Many health experts, researchers, and professionals have discovered that if we do not connect, look, talk, and touch with others on a regular basis our health and immune function can weaken. Enhancing and improving our relationships can provide profound benefits to help heal our emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
When we need or want something is not the time to begin building our relationships. Raving relationships are like a savings account at the bank. You must make adequate connections and deposits in order to make requests and withdrawals. While we can sometimes borrow and get a loan when we need one it is much easier to do our part to make advanced deposits in order for our family, fan or friend relationships to be full and well-funded in order to meet our relationship cash flow.
Imagine how much more powerful and profound our relationships will be when we sustain them with caring and continual reinforcement whether things are going well or wrong. While it is easy to feel too bothered, bummed, or busy to invest an extra few minutes in fulfilling our relationships it is a key to maintaining raving relationships.
Romantic relationships require an even higher level of awareness, contributing, giving, and selfless love to be sustained long-term. A quality romantic relationship is not a means of getting things it is a means of giving unconditional acknowledgment, love, praise, support, and thanks for the many blessings and gifts the other person brings into our life.
Strengthening all of our close relationships is beneficial to enhancing our happiness, health, and well-being.
Common benefits of raving relationships include feelings of being: appreciated, blessed, calm, complete, connected, creative, fulfilled, grateful, happy, healthy, hopeful, loved, mentally at peace, open, positive, relaxed, resilient, supported, stable, well, and whole.
The bottom line is raving relationships help us feel even more happy, healthy, and in harmony in the areas of our wheel of life and whole world.

Relationships either subtract from or offer support for our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Great relationships combined with drinking and eating healthy nourishment and exercise greatly increase our chances for a quality life.
We must never allow ourselves to be too busy to invest the quality time necessary to nourish our relationships. It only takes a small investment in quality time to pay big dividends. A call, a kind word of reassurance, an email, a look, a surprise, or a touch can do wonders to give another person what they need and want.
By regularly making small deposits into our relationships we help ensure that our desires, needs, and wants will be met. Too often people fall into the habit of demanding and wanting more from others than they have a reasonable right to expect based on a mutually beneficial relationship.
