LIFESTYLE

RELATIONSHIPS are EVERYTHING. Good relationships can create a happy home and a successful business, and bad relationships can create the opposite. In this Newsletter, we’re talking about communication in all your relationships and giving you a blueprint for relationships.

I hope you find value in these tips and training. Remember, RELATIONSHIPS are EVERYTHING.

Situations that affect Respect, Trust & Radical Communication in All Relationships

Work/Home Balance
Your balance depends on if you both work together or not. If you don’t, that is one conversation, and if you do, that’s another conversation. In my case, since My husband and I are both in the same business, we’re together 24/7 and our work/home balance is just, well, life. They are one in the same. If you are in different businesses, you need to communicate and negotiate your sacred couple and family time.

Design The Life That You Want
Literally write it down. What do you want it to look like? Every part. What do you want to drive? Where do you want to live? What kind of education do you want your kids to have? Where do you want to go on vacation? The key is to communicate all your thoughts and opinions and do it together. Then, based on your current situation, live a life as close to that perfect life as you can. When you reach most of those goals for that perfect life, go back and reanalyze and redesign.

Dimming Your Light
This is when one person makes themself really small. They’re quiet and they support the other, who’s a really big, bright person. There are two reasons that the person is dimming their light. One, they have programmed to play it small as a survival mechanism, and two, they realize that if they were their most powerful self, it would be threatening to the other person and they would react negatively. So, to keep harmony in the family they dim their light, feeling that harmony is more valuable than their dream.

Would you like to have more harmonious relationships with the people in your life and in your business? Here are some tips to look into;

Trust

People have to believe they can trust you. They have to believe that your heart is good and that you are not hiding things from them. Part of this comes from you being secure enough to take negative feedback.

Respect

Our egos can sometimes get a little out of control – for instance, not wanting people to question us. If you respect the people you are in a relationship with, you will receive respect from them. If you do things out of ego, it will damage your relationships.  

Communication

Over communicate and always tell the truth. Explain to people that when they do this, it really makes you happy, or, when they do this, it really hurts your feelings. Just let them know. Don’t assume anything. People crave authenticity and will be able to relate to you.

Grace

Have grace for other people, for their upbringing, challenges, circumstances and adversities. This takes a level of maturity. Don’t judge people. You haven’t walked in their shoes. Listen to what they have to say. 

Programming

Everyone comes from a different set of circumstances. Everyone isn’t just like you. Other people have different love languages and value sets. Accept and love people for who they are. Don’t try to change people into who YOU want them to be. 

Common Activities

Some relationships aren’t as happy because the people in them don’t have common activities so they essentially just live separate lives. If you can, find some common things that you can generally enjoy together. Proximity will strengthen relationships.
