4 GREAT WAYS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS


Studies show that relationship is the no.1 factor which determines the amount happiness and joy we face in life; which shows that having messed up relationships can really be mentally painful irrespective of the success we attain in our career life. 

There are plenty of ways to improve yourself at the skill of handling relationships. But here, I'm only going to talk about the 4 ways I feel are the best to improve them.

1. Act according to the other persons needs: 

You have to first know the fundamental needs and desires of the other person and then try to build a better relation with him/her by doing those things and empathetically listening to them which will show your deep concern  towards them, rather than trying to apply your own methodologies to make them happy or convince them. It is not a quick fix, but a long-term beautiful investment.

2. Make commitments you can keep: 

Keeping or breaking promises drastically improves or degrades the quality of our relationships. There's probably not a more massive withdrawal in a relationship than to make a promise and not come through it. Therefore one should be careful when making promises and be aware of as many variables and contingencies possible. But, sometimes, unexpectedly, situations occur where it is no possible to keep up with the promise. In such situations, try your best  keep it anyways  (as it is a huge investment and is going to benefit massively in the long run of the relationship) or explain the situation thoroughly to the next person and ask to be released from the promise.

3.Clarify your expectations: 

Clarification is plays a huge role in communication and undermines so much part of our relationships. Just like the 1st point, if  you want the other person to be acting according to your needs make sure they clearly know what your needs and expectations from them are. This strategy can save you from great damage and conflict in your relationship.

4. Showing integrity:

Treat every type of person in one same manner. When you defend or show respect to someone in their absence in front of the third party it shows that you posses the quality of trustworthiness to those who are present. It makes it easier for people to rely and trust you. To be trusted is greater than to be loved. How you treat one defines how you treat the other 99.


That's all for this post and I hope you got some great key insights that you can apply right away to improve your relational life. Have a great day ahead!

How your thoughts shape you reality

The human mind is duplex in nature. The conscious level of the mind is able to reason and make decis i ons, such as where to live and what to eat. The subconscious is responsible for the body’s functioning, distinctly out of conscious thought and control; no one has to make a conscious choice to have a heartbeat, for example. When the conscious mind thinks thoughts repeatedly, they become embedded in the subconscious mind. Unlike the conscious mind, the subconscious mind doesn’t reason or differentiate between good and bad. Regardless of whether thoughts are negative or harmonious, the subconscious mind responds by sending out vibrations in accordance with those thoughts. Beliefs that arise in the conscious mind get planted in the subconscious mind. The universal law of action and reaction ensures that a belief, whether positive or negative, will produce a reaction from the subconscious mind in time. The subconscious mind does not judge thoughts it receives from the conscious mind. The...

EMPATHIC LISTENING - THE MEANS TO EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.

  What is empathic listening'? Empathic listening is when you look through the other person's frame of reference, you understand their paradigm and how they feel. It doesn't mean agreeing with someone; It mean that you completely and deeply understand the person at an emotional and intellectual level. It involves much more than just understanding the words that are said. Empathetic listening gives the other person freedom of speech and makes him/her feel that he/she is being understood. The 4 stages of empathic listening : 1) Content mimic:   It is reflective listening in which you mimic the other person's speech in the same sought of words and language without understanding. 2) Content rephrasing :  It is when you reflect the other party's speech in your own words by just understanding the meaning of the sentence at the very surface level.
