Relationship Resilience

This post contains simple suggestions for relationship resilience. When we experience relationship pain it could be a sign we are not focusing on our relationships enough. What if our relationship pains were wake up calls to start focusing on ways to enhance our relationship pleasures and possibilities? The quality of our life is a direct reflection of the quality of our relationship with our self and others. Most people are challenged in dealing with both. Magic moments occur when you learn relationship mastery. To be happy, healthy and in harmony we must have great relationship resilience.

Relationships magnify the human experience on earth.

Our relationship beliefs, choices and decisions determine how we treat our self and others each day so choose wisely. Your relationship behaviors and habits will either help you be happy, healthy and in harmony or hurt you to the point of being sad, sick and stressed. Relationships magnify the human experience on earth. Unfortunately few people think enough about how their everyday actions and choices will either maintain their relationship resilience or cause relationship ruins.

Your relationships can create magic moments each day when you do your part with reaffirming, refreshing, rejuvenating and replenishing rituals. Many people tend to take their relationships for granted most of the time. Then they wonder why their relationships may reject or resist them instead of responding to their needs. People often seem to have a better connection to their replaceable cell phone than their relationships. People can waste hours with people they barely know yet fall out of touch with their real relationships due to neglect. When we learn the benefits of revitalizing our relationship resilience we open the doors to manifesting raving relationships.

When people get bogged down with relationship issues it can easily snow ball out of control into every other area of their life. This can cause a chain reaction crash that starts a downward spiral in the quality of life. Our everyday behaviors and beliefs towards our relationships have a direct bearing on our level of persistent problems or peak performance and sustainable success.

So how do we resolve our relationship jams, roadblocks and wrecks? Maybe we start by focusing and fixing ourselves instead of the other person. When we realize the other person is fine and unique just the way they are we can release the desire to change or fix them. When we focus more on making deposits into their relationship bank accounts we learn life is more about giving than getting. When we give unconditionally we are free from bartering, keeping score and materialism which allow abundance, grace and joy to fulfill our life.

Stop Relationship Ruins

Ignore negative people that are critical and not supportive of you. Real relationships are based on mutual admiration and respect.

Avoid toxic relationships that drain your energy, spirit and well being.
Ignore negative people that are critical and not supportive of you. Real relationships are based on mutual admiration and respect.
Avoid gossiping, greed and guilt trips. Stop robbing your relationships of loyalty and trust. Avoid complicated triangles and talk directly to the people in your circles.
Stop giving conditional love. Conditional love means if they do something first then I will accept, appreciate and love them.
Stop using gifts, money and toys as a relationship bargaining tool. Many divorced parents and even grandparents use gifts and things as a means of buying love and manipulating children. This is not conducive to being happy and healthy for either party.
It is well known that abusive and addictive alcohol, drugs, gambling, pornography, shopping and violence have harmful consequences on your relationships. They rob relationships of the ability to be happy, healthy and loving.
Sarcasm, snide comments, stress and struggles cause our relationships to wither and die.
Envy, greed, jealousy and lust are damaging emotions which rob our relationships and hurt our emotional, mental and physical happiness and health.
When we lose our compassion, generosity and kindness in our relationships with our family, friends and fellow human beings we doom them to fail.
Stop creating artificial, harmful and phony relationships.
Determine which relationships are subtracting joy and value. Delete the ones that are draining your energy and time and find new ones to add even more joy and value.
Avoid critical, harmful or negative comments with family and especially at meal times. Many children link these stresses to food and meals and become emotional eaters.

Some of the best gifts you can give your relationships are affection, appreciation and attention. Quality time is a rare and valued gift. Even a simple greeting such as: I appreciate you, I respect you or thank you for being in my life can renew their spirit and uplift their day.
It is important to have family meals together as often as possible. Be sure to encourage a peaceful , pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.
