Let's face it, human beings are not always the best
communicators.
We may have built buildings that scrape the sky and
electronics that connect the world, but sometimes we get stuck on the simplest
of things such as talking to one another.
As we all know, the beginning of a new year to most people
can be a tragedy, due to high stress, less money, time and at moments like
these, trying to maintain a healthy relationship with friends, family or your partner
can be very challenging.
We have decided to give our readership some pointers on how
to go about bettering our relationships so that we don't alienate ourselves from
our loved ones or even worse, lose them altogether.
What you speak,
should be seen through your actions
For instance, if you tell your partner you love them, show
them through your actions. Welcome them with a big hug, help out with doing the
chores around the house....
Words become meaningless unless they are backed up with
actions.
Talk about anything
that comes to mind
Now we all know that sometimes there is nothing to talk
about or you feel so, but you need to become comfortable enough with your
partner or loved one and be able to talk about anything that pops up in your
thoughts.
Getting comfortable
Fear can really stop you from bettering your communication
skills. Being comfortable to communicate freely in a relationship takes time,
but one factor that can help you be more comfortable around them is to study
and know your partner/family/friends. You need to know when they are angry,
when they are feeling down, what they like and what puts a smile on their
faces.
Communication is not
only verbal
Sometimes we find it hard to start a conversation, but there
are things that you can do, which still fall under communication that can spark
a conversation.
Buying flowers for your partner can support your words and show
how much your partner means to you, that alone can take communication to
another level, hence the saying 'practice what you preach'. Even taking a walk
with your loved one can bring about new things to talk about.
Finally
Your surroundings
Yes, your surroundings can can bring about new topics to
speak about, like taking a walk, having a picnic, going out for camping and
perhaps a run. Your surroundings can spark up your conversations and you find
yourself communicating much more than you would have if you were together in the
confines of your home.
Last but not least, remember that your partner is human and
has flaws.
