Harmony In Your Relationship

How does one achieve true harmony in a relationship? This is probably the most elusive aspect in most relationships these days. Sadly, a happy and healthy relationship cannot be achieved without it also being a harmonious relationship!

To achieve harmony in any relationship, we need to address the following two aspects with honesty and courage.

Firstly, what do you require from the relationship? Are your needs being met, or is the relationship all about them? Too often people settle for a bad relationship instead seeking to fulfill their own wants and needs.

Remember, you matter. You must also be your priority, not just your partner. Your wants and needs are a priority. If you put your needs aside and put everyone before yourself, you will never find harmony or joy in your relationships.

Make a list of your top ten wants or needs. Then make a list of your top five deal-breakers. What will you not tolerate or settle for? Once you have clarity on what you need and expect, you can more easily figure out what to do about it.

A healthy relationship goes both ways, with comprise. Do your best to see that you stay true to your wants and needs. Too many people settle, because they either think they cannot find someone better, or they are scared to move forward on their own. But we must be brave to achieve what we desire in life.

Tell yourself that you deserve to be happy and that you are going to find it. You deserve it! You are worth it! If you put all of that out to the Universe and believe it, it will happen for you when the time is right. Belief is key.  If you believe it, you will achieve it.

Communication is the next key in any relationship. Where communication no longer exists, needs cannot be met. This is often the beginning of the end of a relationship. When communication breaks down and you stop listening to each other, your relationship will begin to fall apart. In time, you might even need a neutral third party to assist in bridging this gap. Do not let it get that far.

Sometimes things have however progressed too far or your relationship reaches the point of no return. Ending a bad, toxic relationship can be extremely hard, yes, but think of it as the best way to grow and achieve what is best for you. Growth and change can be painful and uncomfortable, but so worth it in the end!

If you are miserable in your relationship, take a long, hard look at it and see where you can make changes. If your needs are not being met and the communication is lacking, then something must be done, rather sooner than later. Life is too short not to be happy and fulfilled.

Making the necessary changes in your relationships can bring you much joy and fulfillment. But sometimes these changes take hard work. These changes can be hard and painful, but it is key to growth and learning. Never fear change, it can transform your life in ways you never before imagined.
