If you are struggling with finding solutions to issues that arise in your relationship, this is where you can find tools that help you overcome those issues, steps to dissolve arguments and tips to improve your relationship presented in a fun and practical matter.
Going through the pain of having your heart broken or being cheated on is no easy task!
It will take time for you to trust someone again, and that trust will not be as easily gained as before. But you do need to heal before you can even think of getting in a new relationship, not only for you but also for your future partner.
If you skip the healing process and jump directly into a new relationship the issues you carried with you from your old relationship are going to carry right on into your new one leading to a relationship where you don't trust your partner, project your insecurities onto them and expect the relationship's inevitable end.
And that is not healthy for you, or your partner.
In this video, I aim to delve into the topic of feeling powerless, exploring its origins, and most importantly, how we can transform it.
The feeling of powerlessness looks different for everyone. It can show up as people-pleasing behavior, not having the courage to say "No," not being able to express hopes and expectations, and so much more. This feeling translates not only into your personal life but also into your professional one.
This feeling is deeply rooted not only in your conscious mind but also in your subconscious, and making a real change will not be easy. However, in order to change your life, this change of mindset is absolutely necessary.
Good communication is one of the best ways to start your relationship. But can you really have a relationship if you're not on the same page?
Only one way to find out...ASK! Ask your partner the most pertinent questions to get to know them and learn about their life, their values, and their plans for the future.
Depending on how open your partner is and how long you've been dating, you can even get into more serious topics, like having children, past relationship trauma, and how they see a future relationship folding out. You may learn that they may not want to get married, while you do, or that they want you to move in together as soon as possible.
Every person is different, so even if you ask the same questions, the answers may differ from person to person.
When it comes to assertive communication of your feelings, there are a few key tips to keep in mind.
First and foremost, it's important to be clear and direct about how you feel. Avoid beating around the bush or using vague language that might be misunderstood.
Another tip is to use "I" statements to express your emotions. This can help to take ownership of your feelings and prevent the other person from feeling attacked. For example, instead of saying "You always make me feel this way," you could say "I feel upset when this happens."
Additionally, active listening is crucial in assertive communication. Make sure to give the other person a chance to respond and truly listen to their perspective.
Not expressing your expectations can cause a lot of friction in your relationship.
If your partner does not know what your expectations are, they cannot rise to meet them.
Your unmet expectations may, in turn, cause you to be resentful towards your partner.
Open communication is the best way to have a happy and healthy relationship.It allows both partners to understand each other’s needs and desires, fostering a deeper connection.
