3 Simple Techniques to Improve Every Relationship

Observe the people around you at home and at work and ask yourself are your relationships with each of these people great, fine or terrible. And if it’s not that great, do you do some things to improve it? All relationships: romantic, platonic or professional, have ups and downs. Fortunately, you can fix relational problems even with the simplest techniques.

1.       Talk something positive before negative

Ever noticed when you share to your partner your day’s frustrations when you get home from work, the conversation becomes depressing and it may lead to a quarrel between the two of you. And if this happens a lot then you might build a problematic relationship. Although it’s healthy to talk about problems, why not start greeting your husband or wife when you get home and talk something positive first. It may be a funny anecdotal that happened at work or just tell that you miss him or her. Once you and your partner’s mood become light, then talking about problems after won’t be so depressing.

2.       Value your rights and others

It’s no picnic when you have a co-worker or anyone that doesn’t value you as a person with feelings and rights. If you are not obligated to see him or her every day, then try to avoid the person. If you can’t because it’s part of your work or schooling (or, gasp, it’s someone you live with) you need to stand up for yourself. Do it in a firm, civil way that can get your feelings straight and make the other person understand. With this, he or she will change his perspective of you as a weak person to a strong one.

3.       Truly connect with your friends

Ever had a friend that expects you to talk or text with him or her daily? It may seem normal but some people may find it a hassle, not to mention a lot of pressure. Your friend may have become attention-demanding because you don’t really focus him/her at the time when you two are hanging out. Nowadays, people are so wrapped up with their mobile phones that they’re not paying attention to their friends who are in front of them all the time. Always have serious one-on-one time with pals on weekends and maybe they’ll leave you alone on weekdays, the time when you need to focus on other important things.
