uNNecessary stress ?? relief techniques, of the logical kind...



In a relationship you need two things:
trust and communication.
If you have neither,
then you don't have a relationship.
You have a project that just creates unnecessary stress.


People are always writing/saying stuff like that and I always wonder if the people reading it know how to do either.
Growing up the way I did, lets just say I needed alot of info and luckily I have great instincts.
This is written in reference to women but it can apply to all kinds of relationship both genders.

If you have any projects that are creating unnecessary stress in your life or if you have come to a cross road about someone in your life I truly hope this may bring some peace or answers to you



Building trust

Trust doesn’t just naturally happen between two people, even if they love each other. It takes work and if you’ve been hurt in the past, it can be especially difficult. Building trust takes time, you need to show your partner that you are trustworthy and that you trust them in return. If your partner has trouble trusting, you can do a lot to create an environment where trust can grow. Listen to your partner, respect him and his opinions, and accept him as he is. Reveal parts of your own history, show him that you trust him and you will help him to do the same. If you are vulnerable it helps your partner to feel that he is safe to be vulnerable as well.

Don’t rush it. If you truly love your partner and want what’s best for him, you’ll wait. If you’re in a relationship with someone you feel you can’t trust, don’t ignore it. If you have trouble trusting anyone, you might want to seek counseling before you run away from what could be a great relationship. Your past does affect your ability to trust. However, if trust hasn’t been a problem for you in the past and your gut is telling you to protect yourself from this guy, take it as a warning. Take a close look at who he is, how he treats others and how he treats you. Your gut may be giving you good information.


Honest communication

Trust opens the door to honest communication. You can’t communicate honestly if you’re always second-guessing how your partner will react and rephrasing your thoughts to fit in with his agenda. Communication takes concentration. In her article, “Why Can’t We Communicate?” Geri Forsberg , Ph.D., outlines the five steps to effective communication:

1. Ask questions. Don’t assume you understand what a person means. Once you ask a few questions, it doesn’t take long to really find out what he really means.

2. Listen. To become a better communicator, you must be willing to listen so you can understand the other person’s perspective.

3. Observe and be willing to verify the information you receive.

4. Let people know what you are thinking by sharing it. By disclosing information about yourself, it aids the other person in understanding who you are and how you are understanding them.

5. Remember that love covers a multitude of sins. If your motives are wanting to understand people and accept them for who they are, then communication will be easier. But if you set out to convince them that your way is the right way, then that’s not communication. And that’s not love.

much love {=]

    Thank you for that. I read it and think - yup I do all that. However, I still fucked it up. I need to read, think and find where I went wrong.
none of us are perfect, it takes two people to be successful, anyway are you sure the other person isnt the one messing it up.. just a thought.
