Improve Your Relationship With Anger Management

While our aim is to improve the relationship, our angry tirade virtually always accomplishes the opposite result

When we lash out in anger at someone, we are desperately trying to correct a perceived injustice.

 

While our aim is to improve the relationship, our angry tirade virtually always accomplishes the opposite result.

 

It may incite the others defensiveness, which increases our frustration.

 

It may trigger the other person into an offensive counter-attack that escalates the conflict.

 

Even when an angry tirade does manage to persuade the other person to change in line with our desire, some negative fall-out results from our assault, undermining trust, bonding and intimacy in the relationship.

 

Keeping feelings of resentment to ourselves does not represent relationship wisdom.

 

Harboring unspoken feelings of resentment causes one to withhold in the relationship, often driving one to engage in passive-aggressiveness at worst, or artificiality at best that inevitably arouses the other person’s distrust.

 

Here then are some anger management tips for solving relationship problems, including marriage problems.

 

Self-honesty or emotional accountability is the first anger management tip.

 

You have face the fact that there really are some unintended, unwanted consequences, like undermining trust in your marriage, when you lash out in anger.

 

Self-understanding is another tip for better managing anger.Understand that what you really want is more love in your relationship.  When you react in anger you repel love, you do not increase it.

 

Through more self-honesty and self-understanding you can begin to formulate a relationship strategy that works better than lashing out.

 

This leads us to the third of our anger management tips to improve your relationship: be proactive instead of reactive.

 

In other words, look for ways to help the other to do better instead of attacking in reaction to his or her undesirable performance.

 

Let’s say that you begin feeling impatient and frustrated when you have to wait for your mate to gather her things together before she can walk out the door and join you in the car on a date-night.

 

Instead of steaming angrily while you count the seconds and minutes, proactively assist her in taking care of her last minute details.

 

So applying this tip for anger management means being helpful instead of hurtful to improve your relationship.

 

Here then are your 3 simple anger management tips:

1. Be self-honest.

2. Examine your motives for improved self-understanding.

3.  Be more proactive than reactive.

 

As you put these into practice, you will enjoy more loving cooperation in your relationships.

Relationship Strategy For Overcoming The Insecurity

Whether we are conscious of it or not, that relationship problem is produced by imagining ourselves lacking in some way.

When we feel insecure in a relationship, the cause is always imaginary.

 

Whether we are conscious of it or not, that relationship problem is produced by imagining ourselves lacking in some way.

 

This causes our lack of natural, comfortable self-confidence in the relationship.

 

A common expression of insecurity is to become a “people pleaser” by trying to figure out what the other person wants us to be.

 

But this relationship strategy fails to bring us happiness, because we still feel rejected by ourselves.

 

While pretending to be what we are not we are pushing the other person away out of fear of being “found out”, which will ultimately sabotage the relationship.

 

Here is a more effective relationship strategy for overcoming the insecurity that sabotages interpersonal-bonding: improve how you see yourself rather than worrying about or trying to manipulate how others see you.

 

The following confidence-building exercise can help you to build better relationships:

 

1. Write out a list of all the personal qualities that you see in yourself that you dislike, disrespect, or disapprove of.

 

2. Then, compose a list in which you replace those qualities with abilities, characteristics or talents that you would like instead.

 

3. Spend a few minutes envisioning yourself possessing and expressing each of those more desirable qualities.

 

Performing this exercise once or twice may not relieve you of the self-esteem problem that has been preventing you from enjoying better relationships.

 

A lack of self-confidence in relationships usually stems from deeply rooted self-concept habits.

 

But as you persevere in letting go of negative thoughts about yourself, and in building up a vision of yourself expressing more beautiful, powerful, splendid qualities, you will feel more self-assured in relationships.

 

In this blog, please share your thoughts and questions about this relationship advice, and your experience of doing this confidence-building exercise.

relationship wisdom

Great communication in a marriage gives you a powerful advantage in life.

What’s the general quality of communication in your marriage?

On a consistent basis, how much loving-kindness passes between you and your life-partner during your important conversations– even during your casual verbal exchanges?

Do your efforts to communicate effectively often lead to feelings of a broken connection? Do your attempts to solve problems together end up producing more problems, like marital bickering?

Are your discussions with your spouse typically characterized by harmonious feelings of marital intimacy, or would you describe them with words like “contentiousness”, “combativeness”, “criticalness”, “annoyance”?

While communicating with your partner about typical relationship “hot buttons” like financial difficulties and disciplining the children, do you tend to feel uplifted by your mate or disappointed by your mate?

Would you describe the quality of your routine, daily verbal exchanges as affectionate or as competitive?

Do the two of you talk much at all?

Great communication in a marriage gives you a powerful advantage in life.

If the two of you can strategize and problem-solve as great communicators, you will feel greatly empowered to tackle life’s challenges.

But how many partners really enjoy this gift of personal empowerment through positive marital discourse?

What if you and your mate have communication problems that just won’t go away, no matter how hard you try to fix your marriage?

Here is what you may regard as startling relationship advice if you have been hitting a wall in your efforts to converse warmly and constructively on a consistent basis:

TRUST YOUR RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, including marital squabbling and other forms of conversation-disconnect.

If you fear a marital problem, if you worry about it, if you struggle too hard to solve it, you program your subconscious to allow it to sabotage your happiness and success – maybe even your health.

How is this for surprising relationship wisdom: Instead worrying about what is wrong with your relationship work on improving your attitude toward the way things are.

As you live in trust, you find peace, joy, love and fulfillment blooming in your heart naturally.

That worry-free state of mind releases you to live healthfully, successfully and happily.

To worry about marital discord is to deepen the relationship quagmire.

To trust your love-partnership problems does not necessarily mean being a passive mate resigned to unhappiness.

It means trusting what you cannot control.

It is part of trusting the way life is, which means living in the healing power of faith. It also programs your subconscious to keep you on track for all you want in life.

Have you applied this relationship advice in your love life?

Share in this blog any questions you have about trusting instead of fearing relationship problems.

Committed Relationship Wisdom: Don’t Just Marry, Stay Engaged

Don’t just stay married.  Stay ENGAGED.  Enjoy an engaged relationship with your spouse.

Relationship Tips For Staying Committed

Build a conscious connection with your mate. Stay PRESENT

By that I mean, build a conscious connection with your mate.  Stay PRESENT.

 

Relationships between married couples don’t work out automatically.  They require the daily application of real relationship wisdom.  They require consistently CONSCIOUS relationship work.

 

This does not have to take all the joy out of matrimony.  In fact, it may be the most powerful relationship tip for preserving AND enhancing marital joy and fulfillment.

 

Sooner or later, just about all married couples can use great date ideas.   Just going out to dinner or taking in a movie can get old. Going on a drive on a moonlit night can be special, but if you have young kids at home, that may not be easy to do, without dragging your children along. (Yippeee!)

 

Here is a better date night idea: No matter what you do or where you are, try being MORE aware of how you are ENGAGING with your mate by asking yourself:

1. Am I pressing the right buttons or the wrong buttons?

2. Am I being too serious?

3. Am I being too detached?

4. Am I even paying attention to how my mate feels?

 

Unhappy relationships, like happy relationships, don’t just happen.  They are made.

 

Not every “long distance romance” is defined by physical space!

 

You and your spouse can be in the same room and yet be in different worlds.

 

Love and marriage may start out together, but they may soon begindrifting apart.

 

But it’s never too late for a marriage makeover.  It’s never too late to make a new start.

 

You can fix your marriage by re-fixing your gaze upon your mate in the now.

 

If you begin to be more intentionally and consciously involved, you feed the spark of romantic loving attraction.

 

You may be sabotaging love without realizing it.

 

Love and relationship advice: To find better ways of engaging with your mate for a great relationship, reflect on how you handled your interactions

 

Were you harsher than you wish you had been?  Did you become more frustrated than you want to be?  Did you lash out verbally in a way that you regret?  How might you have been a more constructively engaged lover, friend or even business support for your mate?

 

Don’t beat yourself up over your shortcomings. Learn your relationship lesson! Lift yourself up by thinking about how you can do better for a better relationship.

 

Do this relationship work of reflection at the close of today for a more engaged and delightful committed relationship tomorrow.

wisdom for better relationships

Make a list of the qualities you would love to have in your relationships, like love, respect, sensitivity, fun, adventure, loyalty

Here is some wisdom for better relationships that I have learned from experience: accept the risk of being selective about your relationships.

It takes a fair degree of trust, though, to follow this advice.

For a relationship that works for you, you need to let go of relationships that work against you, but insecurity causes people to stay in destructive relationships.

I myself feel into pattern years ago, feeling so insecure about being on my own that I clung to people who did not treat me very well.

When I finally felt fed up with my own lack of courage, I decided to take the risk and step out on my own.

That is how I discovered this wisdom for better relationships.  I almost immediately found myself with opportunities for wonderful, mutually supportive relationships.

Receiving and even agreeing with wise advice for a relationship that works is easier than mustering up the courage to follow that advice.

But you can take it from me that facing your insecurity and going THROUGH it, instead of letting it stop you, will lead YOU into better relationships.

One way to bring better relationships into your life is to contemplate the kinds of relationships that you believe would feel wonderful and support your life-success.

Put this principle into practice with this exercise:

  1. Begin a list of the qualities you would love to have in your relationships, like love, respect, sensitivity, fun, adventure, loyalty, etc.
  2. Then make a list of the personal qualities you would like the other person to have, such as a fine mind, compassion, creativity, responsibility, motivation, etc.
  3. Everyday contemplate this list and add to it. As you create the relationships you want in your mind, you will attract them into your life.

In this blog, please share your experience of applying this exercise for better relationships, including the results, and any questions about it that you might have.

Wisdom For Trust In Relationships

You CAN experience more faith and less fear in ANY relationship. Help yourself to this glorious liberation by simply PRACTICING unconditional faith

When we experience feelings of deep love in our relationships, our hearts fill with joy.

We naturally want to hold onto that joy, to experience it all the time.

As much as we want to feel joyous in love, though, we soon find ourselves feeling unhappy and dissatisfied once again.

If we lack life-wisdom, we might presume that we must be in the wrong relationship when we feel unhappy.

But the fact is that sometimes we even feel unhappy in our relationship with OURSELVES.

The Wisie Relationship Wisdom Video entitled, You Cannot Get Along With Everyone, provides us with this wisdom solution:  “…accept yourself as one of the world’s sacred treasures.”

But this wisdom is not always easy to apply, just as it is not ALWAYS easy to regard our mate or even our child else as a “sacred treasure”.

To experience more love in your relationships, INCLUDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF, try this simple relationship help exercise:

Practice relating in faith.

Doing this means that when you don’t like something that you or another did, PRACTICE trusting that everything is going to work out wonderfully anyway.

We don’t lose joy and love in our relationships because of what has happened, but only because we have slipped into insecurity in response to what happened.

How would you feel if you KNEW that everything in your life was absolutely guaranteed to work out as wonderful as you want it to be?

What happens in relationships to trigger your feelings of insecurity which robs your feelings of joy, fulfillment and love?

In this blog, share your thoughts and questions about the wisdom of the practice of unconditional FAITH in life (no matter how others behave).

You CAN experience more faith and less fear in ANY relationship.  Help yourself to this glorious liberation by simply PRACTICING unconditional faith.

This is how to allow the expansion of love in all of your relationships.
