10 Basics of Wellbeing in Relationships
Safety. This is one of the basic principles in any relationship. And you want more of those types of people in your life, regardless of their background.
Respect. Communicating with respect and showing willingness to work on your relationships in positive ways with consistency is key.
Communication. In many cases we make assumptions more than this is relevant or necessary. This behaviour can hurt pretty much any relationship and it can cause unnecessary conflict. On the other hand, working on your communication skills is going to serve you throughout your whole life.
Healthy boundaries. Having the space to be your authentic self is important. Having healthy boundaries does not mean you don’t continue to progress the relationship with another person or that you stop learning from each other. In fact you are more likely to enjoy positive experiences together when you both have been able to establish healthy boundaries. This means you can both contain your personal energy and be at your best when you are together.
Trust. This is very much dependent on how well you communicate everything else with the person, but it is of primary importance to build on trust.
Growing willingness to understand. Finding a way to invest more thought on who you are and working with a personal coach are good places to start. In order to learn to listen to another person you must first be able to hear yourself well. The importance of finding guidance from the right person is very important as you will begin to establish some new thought patterns over time.
Finding shared values. There is no doubt that any healthy long term relationship requires certain principles. The ability to express these in a healthy way is very important so that we can be understood by others well.
Doing the right thing. It would be a good reminder that what you choose to do when you are alone is in some way going to be known by others. Your mirror neurons are affecting others subconsciously and often times they might know your behavioural pattern better then you can imagine. A relationship improves with continuous work and the two sides need to find healthy ways to rebuild it consciously.
Working on yourself. Regardless of how many skills in life you learn, your soft skills make you the person you are in front of others. This includes the development of healthy mindset, remaining connected to your highest values and keeping your expressions as positive as possible.
Presence. You must be in this so you can have the relationship. Your participation is as important as all the other factors taken together as you are the person making the right choices.
