Rock Solid Confidence: 4 Ways To Develop A Healthy Relationship With Yourself & Others

To manifest, more meaningful and healthier relationships, whether it is in work, family, friendships, romantic – all starts from self. If we commit to cultivating a deeper, more authentic self-loving inner partnership – we then have the power to create like minded relationships with others.

Here are 4 concepts to bring to mind as you dive into your relationship building skills:

 Embrace Emotions

As a default, the tendency is to run away from challenging emotions. The automatic response is, ‘don’t want to deal with it, too hard‘ so there’s a fight or flight response. The truth is, our emotions are our alleys nudging us to work through parts of us that we hide from. The aim is to shift perception by welcoming all emotions as an opportunity to stretch and grow. Practice breathing into the unpleasant feelings and allow them to neutralise .

 Notice Your Attention

Notice where you are putting your attention towards. In other words, be mindful of your thoughts and how you convey messages, how you react. This practice increases your capacity to have more empathy, enhances greater connection to respond, which then traverses into better understanding of behaviours with yourself and with whom you come into contact with. Deepening and strengthening relationships.

  Communicate Consciously

When we consciously communicate, we develop the ability to stay present. Conscious communication is when you intentionally decide to listen to others, collaborate instead of taking over. Communicating consciously, activates the capacity to be more intentional with your thoughts, enabling mindful & careful response, instead of reacting or racing to be heard. One way to grow the skill of conscious communication is to stop and pause, eg say, “I am here collaborating in this moment, allowing and responding with ease”

  Choose Love

The only way to develop a relationship with yourself and others is through choosing love. Love nurtures our heart and soul, making way for radiance, forging the natural state to emerge. When we inhibit this theory, we embody the knowingness that love is the greatest power we have. The sudden awareness that there isn’t anything bigger than the capacity to love. A simple method to activate love energy is by setting an intention each day, you can say, eg “I welcome and choose love today.” Then don’t think about the strategy, allow your heart, mind, body and soul decipher from your ‘love map’.

keep cultivating meaningful relationships.
