8 Ways to Ruin a Relationship—and How to Fix It in a Flash

8 Ways to Ruin a Relationship—and How to Fix It in a Flash
  1. IT’S EASY TO RUIN A RELATIONSHIP…
    Just by talking about the negative aspects of my mate. Even thinking about faults can shift the energy, creating tension that lingers like a bad smell in the air. Sometimes, both people end up feeling awful, without even knowing why!

FORTUNATELY, IT’S JUST AS EASY TO FIX IT…
By remembering our happiest moments, appreciating what’s great in the present, and envisioning an even better future together. A little acknowledgment of positive behaviours goes a long way in rekindling the warmth.

  1. IT’S EASY TO MESS UP A RELATIONSHIP…
    Simply by talking about problems. The more we focus on issues, the bigger they seem to grow, our level of intimacy dissipates rapidly, and the distance between us feels wider than ever.

FORTUNATELY, FIXING IT IS SIMPLE…
By moving into solution mode—exploring ideas together, welcoming insights from others, and trusting that the universe is cooking up even greater solutions tailor-made just for us.

  1. IT’S EASY TO DIMINISH THE LOVE A RELATIONSHIP…
    By expecting something in return for what I give to my mate. Love isn’t about trading favours, compromising, or keeping score—it’s about free-flowing generosity. Keeping tabs can suffocate passion like taking a fish out of water!

FORTUNATELY, IT’S EASY TO CHANGE …
By honouring myself enough to give what I want, whenever I want, as often as I want, to whoever I want, and NOT expect anything in return. When I treat myself well first, love spills over to everyone around me, naturally, with no strings attached.

  1. THE QUICKEST WAY TO KILL A MAN’S PASSION…
    Is by insisting he put our relationship first above everything else—his mission, his hobbies, his friends, his work. A man’s purpose is as essential to his life as the air that he breathes. When he chooses to do it of his own free will, without prompting or guidance, well, there is not much on earth that compares to that feeling!

FORTUNATELY, I CAN CHANGE THIS FAST & COME BACK INTO MY OWN POWER…
By nurturing my own needs, by taking time out, by treating my body, by calming my mind, by soothing my soul, and reigniting my feminine energy, knowing this fresh new glow will most likely draw him in, closer than ever.

  1. THE QUICKEST WAY TO KILL A WOMAN’S PASSION…
    Is by expecting her to be calm, reasonable, and rational. (Yes, that will do it every time!)

FORTUNATELY, THERE’S A REALLY QUICK, EASY, AND FUN WAY TO FIX THIS…
Embracing her waves of emotion and intensity can spark the fire in a relationship in ways you might never expect. The variety she provides is like taking an incredible holiday in a brand new destination every day, for the rest of your lives.

  1. THE QUICKEST WAY TO ANNOY MY MATE…
    Is by trying to fix or change him. Nothing dims his vibe more than feeling like a “project.”

FORTUNATELY, THAT’S EASY TO STOP…
By remembering how it feels when someone tries to “fix” me or treats me like I’m flawed in some way! Let’s allow our mates be who they are without trying to steer or guide them. Time to give that up! Freedom feels fabulous.

  1. THE MOST COMMON WAY I PUT PRESSURE ON MYSELF…
    Is by trying to teach someone something they’re not ready to know, by trying to correct someone’s mistake when they’re not at the point of wanting deeper understanding, by offering help to another out of sympathy instead of through inspiration. Correcting, “helping,” or sympathizing, often comes across more like control than genuine care.

WHEN SOMEONE MAKES A MISTAKE…
It’s not my job to let them know, to correct them, to teach them another way. They’ll FEEL it. The natural vibration of life draws to us the same energy that we are putting out. I have faith that balance will be restored when I relax, step aside, and allow the universe to work its magic once again.

  1. THE QUICKEST WAY TO KILL EXCITEMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP…
    Is by requiring endless rules, commitments, and agreements. Needing too much certainty in a relationship reduces spontaneity, variety, and Passion.

PASSION IS ENHANCED…
By breaking the rules, by loving without expecting anything in return, by living on the edge, and by trusting that “who you really are inside” is enough to attract the most delightful and glorious outcomes.

It’s good to know that when I think I might have ruined something, that a simple change in attitude or approach can make it way, way, way, better than before. The power is in my hands, it always has been, and always will be. ~ from the author of 500 Confessions
