Be The Change(relationship)

 

BE THE CHANGE

BE THE CHANGE

Hi peeps. Great weekend huh?

I think early enough in these series we need to establish the fact that the world would be a better place if we all decide to contribute our own little quota.

It is commonplace to hear people say because the other person did not do something, they are not willing and ready to do what they are supposed to do.

It is not an ideal world; and never would be.

It is only in an ideal world that things happen the way they ought to. Someone steps on you and immediately knows he’s meant to say sorry. Someone hurts you and apologises instantly. Friends know they are not to betray each other etc

As long as the sun rises on the earth, human beings will continue to be mere mortals – imperfect. The earlier we make room for the imperfections of others, the better we secure our hearts from undue pain.

This in essence doesn’t mean ‘man’ can’t aspire to perfection or attempt to change the world around him. People have done it in times past and are yet doing it again.

To change our world, we need to stop the ‘talking’ and start the ‘doing’. Let’s make up our minds to be the change agents in our relationships.

You really do not have the power to change the other person, neither can you determine what others will do to you but guess what? You have tremendous power to determine how to react.

Let’s use this power wisely, let’s make up our minds to do all that rests within our ability to make our relationships work, irrespective of the other person’s resolution. 

Let’s stop investing time researching what the other person is supposed to be doing and concentrate on our own parts.

There is a lot we can do to better in our relationships and by extension our world. it might be painful and sometimes it feels as though we are giving up our ‘rights’ but trust me the result is worth the pain.

The only Relationship Advice you will Ever Need

 The Only Relationship Advice You’ll Ever Need Danstel 24, July 2020  You may already be rolling your eyes at the vast oversimplification of this title… and if you were to go back to read the many articles I’ve written on relationships, you’d know that I don’t think the secret to romantic success can be boiled down to one simple piece of advice. However, if people ask me what is the most important action we can take to improve our relationships and stay in love, I do have an answer, and that is to  just be kind . Yes, the suggestion seems obvious on one hand, but it’s actually really hard for most couples to take at a certain point in their relationship. Many people I’ve talked to resisted the recommendation, responding with statements like “I can’t do that, or “why would I be nice to him/her?” To understand why we have this resistance and why we often find it challenging to simply be kind to our partner, there are three important concepts to consider: Fear of Intimacy  – The reason ma

What's Ruining your Sex Life?

What’s Ruining Your Sex Life? Danstel17,2020 Sexuality invites us to be in the moment, connected to our body, our senses, and to another person. Yet having a “ critical inner voice ” sounding off in our minds during sex is a little like having an extra person in the room critiquing everything from our desirableness to our performance. These critical inner voices take us out of the experience, remove us from our bodies and leave us disconnected from our partner, robbing us of the precious aspects of sexuality. It’s probably no surprise to hear that research has shown that having higher self-esteem and a more positive body image is correlated with increased sexual satisfaction. On the other hand, negative thoughts toward ourselves heighten our stress levels, which can  decrease sexual satisfaction . One recent  study  showed that measures of self-esteem, autonomy, and empathy were positively associated with sexual pleasure, while other  research  has revealed that people with low self-es
