🔥Listening is not the same as hearing.

Make sure you are in the right mindset when you are talking to your partner. This simply means to let go of all thoughts, worries and other to-dos in your mind and bring your attention fully to your partner.

Take a few deep breaths, let go, look into their eyes and just listen.

Hope you are well

1️⃣It's futile to keep arguing and trying to make them understand your point of view if they are too strongly attached to their own perspective.

2️⃣A better approach would be to pause, take a few deep breaths and try to understand their position and barriers to understanding you.

3️⃣In other words, instead of trying to be understood, shift your focus to trying to understand.🤔

4️⃣Once you have insight into their thought process, you can adopt a more effective line of reasoning that addresses their main concerns.

Try this and see how it goes.

Take care

The most important thing you MUST do as a couple every weekend is sit together, talk, discuss, clear the air and reconnect after a busy week.

Is this something you usually do?

Have a good weekend together.

Past rejections, betrayals or disappointments can

Past rejections, betrayals or disappointments can often lie unhealed beneath our conscious lives waiting to be triggered by something quite harmless in the present day.

It could be something your partner says or their facial expression or a specific behaviour that brings up the past pain and makes you unconsciously react as if you were going through the same incident today.

It's important to be aware of our personal triggers so we can start working on them and not let them interfere in our present relationships.

Don't wait to start doing this work. Take some time out to contemplate this today.

It is not selfish to advocate for your own needs.

It is not selfish to advocate for your own needs. The truth is that they may not be taken into account if you don't clearly express them to your loved ones.

The emotional and physical exhaustion that comes a

The emotional and physical exhaustion that comes along with caring for our partner and family is a valid consequence of being in relationships.

When we start experiencing feelings of overwhelm or fatigue, it's important to be self-aware and extend the same care and kindness to ourself by tending to our own needs.

To avoid this kind of relationship burnout, it's vital to have a healthy connection to one's own self and spend quiet time regularly nurturing this inner connection.

Remember, we can't give to others from an empty cup.

🔥Sadly, some people just don't change ... they

🔥Sadly, some people just don't change ... they are unwilling to accept any responsibility for their hurtful behaviour and keep putting the blame on their partner.

➡️I've been in such an unhealthy marriage myself where it took me several years to understand that try as I might, the relationship was not going to improve because my partner was fixed in his ways and attitude.

➡️The important thing if you are in such a relationship is to become aware of your wishful thinking and adopt a more realistic and objective view of your relationship. And then make a sensible choice based on this clear understanding.

Don't tell your partner to think positive or to appreciate all the good in their life if they have suffered a personal setback or loss of any kind recently.

Grief knocks us off our feet like a tidal wave and is an intense emotion that needs gentless and patience to heal.

Give your partner enough room to grieve, mourn, and heal in their own time. Being patient, understanding and sensitive is the best way to support them in their recovery process.

Have a good week
Tara🌸

Be kind to yourself and ask for support if and when you need to.

A relationship is about teamwork and supporting each other. Caring partners show up for each other, so give your partner a chance to be there for you. 🤝
