Put Some ‘Spring’ back into your Relationships!
Who do you take for granted in your life?
We all do it. You get used to having family and friends around. You count on them without even thinking about it. You even expect that they know you care about them.
When was the last time you asked yourself:
• Who is important in my life?
• Do they know I care?
• How have I shown them that I care?
Can’t remember?
It’s time to put some spring back into your relationships. Showing people you care can rejuvenate and re energize your relationship. You’ll be revitalized and you may end up with some unexpected pleasant surprises in your relationship with your family, your partner and your friends.
Show people you care.
Family Relationships – Parents and Siblings.
You likely cherish your relationship with your family. It’s likely invaluable to you. You are also likely to depend on your family to be there for you, no matter what.
How often do you tell them how important they are to you?
Why not make a family dinner, just to let them know you care. Not a special occasion either like a birthday or Mother’s day. When was the last time you sent your sibling a small birthday present? What about a goofy card, for no particular reason. It doesn’t have to be costly, but it shows you care. Start a tradition – pick a weekend once a year where the whole family gets together. Go on a family mini-vacation and explore somewhere new. Rent a cottage for a week or just have a backyard barbeque. It’s the quality time you spend together that reinforces how important you are to each other.
The Relationship with your Partner/ Spouse
Has your relationship with your partner/spouse fallen into a predictable routine? Try being a bit unpredictable for a change. Make your spouse a romantic dinner once the children are in bed. If it’s too late for dinner, make a romantic snack. Candles, soft music, some delicious exotic food will make your partner or spouse feel special. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.
What makes your partner feel loved?
Do some detective work and find out. Ask questions. Does your partner like to be touched? Do they need to hear the words ‘I love you’? Some people prefer small gestures such as breakfast in bed. Figure out what your partner likes. Make a special effort to do the things that make them feel loved.
Relationship with Friends
Your friends likely act as your best sounding boards and support systems. Show your friends you care. Everybody loves a party! Plan a party and honour one friend or ten.
Let your friends know how important they are to you.
Do something you know they like doing. Nothing says I care more than doing what your friend really wants to do. Especially if they know you really don’t like doing it.
