Relationship core principles are not tools, rules or methods that are set in stone.
And this is really important…
They’re a framework for loving that we can adapt and make our own.
- Availability
- Kindness
- Curiosity
- Presence
- Engagement
- Listening
- Generosity
- Responsiveness
- Patience
- Acceptance
As concepts, they’re so simple that we might scoff and brush them off as ‘fortune cookie wisdom’.
But applying them every day… in a life dedicated to incorporating loving qualities…well…that’s where we are all challenged.
Still, we try.
We set out each morning with the best intentions…and for whatever reason, things rarely work out as planned.
In our head we see ourselves as kind and loving, yet we can end up feeling misunderstood, unappreciated, invisible…and frustrated.
The important thing to remember is these principles are guides.
They are a definitive way to approach a relationship and function in the world.
The key is doing; not merely imagining or thinking about them on a conceptual level.
It’s Love…yes with a capital L…when we live them.
It’s LOVE when we do them…implement and experience them…rather than think about them.
It also takes a ton of practice.
A great way to know if your relationship is going well is to start relating.
