1. Get to know yourself
Take the time to appreciate yourself and get in touch
with your emotions to be able to express yourself clearly and more
effectively.
Not knowing how to regulate your emotions and express them
healthily can negatively affect your mental wellbeing
2. Put in the work
Healthy relationships are not found but built.
A healthy relationship needs commitment and willingness to
be accommodating to each other’s needs.
3. Set and respect boundaries
Setting boundaries is not only about what you don’t want or
like in your relationships, but also about letting the people around you know
what you appreciate.
Think about and let others know where your boundaries are;
respecting your time alone for example.
Doing this can take the pressure off your relationship to
commit to anything unrealistic.
4. Talk and Listen
All relationships have disagreements and that’s ok. what
matters is how you talk and listen to one another.
Listen to understand, rather than listening to respond.
Don’t be afraid to express your emotions or vulnerabilities
with people you trust.
5. Let go of control
A lot of life is about how we react to our experiences and
encounters. Knowing that you can only really control what you do and not what
anyone else does will save you time and stress.
6. Reflect and learn
If you have a healthy way of expressing your feelings,
you’re able to react to other people’s in a healthy way. Being angry with
someone often comes from a place of feeling hurt and upset. if you can
recognize that, you can communicate it, and build better relationships with
others.
Reflect on the relationships that work best in your life,
what qualities do these relationships have, and how can you bring these
qualities into other relationships?
