10 WAYS TO CONSTANTLY THRIVE IN A RELATIONSHIP

Relationships are hard work guys! They constantly need to be maintained and kept up. A relationship can not survive if neither of the parties involved are caring for it.

At the start of the relationship – life is wonderful, you are still in the honey moon phase and then as time goes on the romance starts to fade and so on – and this is what happens in majority of relationships these days!

One thing that I am adamant about is to never lose the spark in my relationship even if life gets in the way sometimes.

HERE ARE MY TOP TIPS ON HOW TO CONSTANTLY THRIVE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP!

1. LEARN TO SPEAK ONE ANOTHERS LOVE LANGUAGE

There are 5 primary ways people express and receive love best: words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time and touch. Learn to meet each other in the middle if you do not share the same love language.

If touch is most important to them – be sure to flood them with affection, if words is the most important thing to them – be sure to motivate, compliment and communicate with them.

2. LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER

Communication is everything in a relationship, without it – you have nothing! Be aware of your partners needs as it is a fundamental aspect of a healthy relationship. Talk it out and be open!

3. BE A LISTENER BEFORE A SPEAKER

“Seek first to understand, not be understood”

My boyfriend and I have almost been together a year and in that time we have argued passionately, debated, we have been in tears and we have walked away from each other. It’s very hard to establish a pattern of listening before speaking especially if you do not agree on something. It’s important to re instate to your partner what you think they are saying to you before speaking up so you both understand what is being said to one another.

Interrupting one another and raising your voice leads to frustration which otherwise could of been a calm conversation. Even if you do not agree with your partner being upset – that’s the reality of the situation. Listen carefully – it could just be a misunderstanding rather than a conflict of ideas..

4. ADVENTURE!

No, I don’t mean expensive overseas trips. I mean, be spontaneous! The other night my boyfriend and I were going home and it was around 9pm. We were at the lights and he turned to me and said “let’s go to the beach” I was in my pj’s and had no shoes but I looked at him and said “lets do it!”

Be spontaneous in your relationship – come home from work with some movie tickets, go to the beach in the middle of the night, go for a long drive and turn up the tunes, surprise your significant other with a weekend away, go get an ice cream and run a muck!

5. SHARING THE SAME GOALS AND DREAMS

What is a relationship if both of you are not on the same wavelength? Working towards the same goals creates a sense of happiness and security! Team work makes the dream work!!

6. LAUGHTER

Laughter is the best medicine, and it’s free! Being able to be your complete, innocent self in a relationship, laugh at yourself, laugh at your partner and do some strange things together keeps it alive and sparkling. If you two don’t laugh anymore or make fool of yourselves and one another – your relationship is cold and dead.

7. BE EXCITED ABOUT THINGS THEY ARE EXCITED ABOUT

In order to keep the enthusiasm, you need to stay engaged with the other persons interests and provide support. Having each others backs is a crucial part of a relationship. Cheer them on and encourage them – be their cheerleader!

8. DON’T WAIT TO BE ASKED TO DO SOMETHING NICE

It’s the little things like buying flowers, or their favourite food, or a new shirt or to help them with grocery shopping. It’s the small acts of kindness that matter rather stressing over big displays of affection

9. TREAT EVERY DAY LIKE IT’S YOUR FIRST DAY

Even if you’ve been together for a year or 5 years or 30 years and your not the same person you were back then. When I see Will when he comes home my heart and soul light up like the very first time I saw him and to be in his arms is what I look forward to every day.

10. TRUST

Obviously this one goes without saying!

In order to constantly thrive in your relationship, it’s not about being aware that you have to give more love and attention. It’s about remembering to give love the time to live in it’s world. It’s dedicating a space to focus on the person that you love, and doing things that makes them feel strong and happy.

When you make a life with someone, you make a life with their pet peeves, their habits, their fears, and you love them for everything that they are

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”

10 QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ANSWER TO FIND YOUR PASSION IN LIFE

The past couple of days i’ve been feeling a bit lost and been asking myself the question “What the hell am I doing?!” what’s new?

I find when you ask such a huge question, it makes it more difficult to answer! The “what am I doing” question is such a broad question and can relate to so many different aspects of life. It can relate to your career, your relationships, your fitness, your health, your finances etc.

I found these thought provoking questions which can narrow your BIG “what am I doing” question down and hopefully help you find an answer!!

1. WHO INSPIRES YOU?

Some of us are inspired by athletes, some of us are inspired by life coaches, some of us are inspired by actors or models – find out who inspires you and what attracts you to their talent

2. WHAT DO PEOPLE USUALLY THANK YOU FOR

We all have greatness within us – some people are good at making others laugh, some people are good at making business decisions. What do people thank you for?!

3. IF YOU WERE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE OF YOUR OWN FUNERAL, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT OTHERS TO SAY

We all know life is short, what do you want your story to be? How do you want people to remember you? In the face of death, fear, failure, embarrassment, money and pride disappears!

4. IF YOU HAD A WHOLE DAY TO BROWSE THE INTERNET WHAT WOULD YOU BROWSE?

If it’s houses, property may be your passion. If it’s books, writing may be your passion. If it’s movies, producing or directing may be your passion

5. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT SO IMMERSED INTO SOMETHING YOU LOST TRACK OF TIME, WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

For me, it’s writing – Sometimes I am writing and I look up and 3 hours have passed. To discover your passion, you have to know what consumes your entire being.

6. WHAT SUBJECTS DO YOU DEFEND, WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS ABOUT THOSE SUBJECTS?

What we stand for shows that we are willing to solve a problem

7. HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME? WHAT DO YOU IMMERSE YOURSELF IN TO

Your hobbies and interests show what you can and want to do

8. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOUR FEELING EXCITED, SATISFIED, RELAXED AND BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME TIME?

We all have moments where we are at the peak of life and feel on top of the world

9. WHAT PROBLEM DO YOU WANT TO SOLVE

What problem can you solve? To know your passion you must be able to solve a problem faced by many people

10. WHAT MAKES YOU AFRAID OF THE NEXT GENERATION

What do you think should happen with what causes havoc such as terrorism, climate change, poverty, drugs – what are you most attracted to changing

HOW TO BE A BOSS BABE

Who doesn’t wanna be a boss babe right?!

Who doesn’t wanna walk around with your boss boots, strong personality and confident strut?!

A boss babe by nature is a confident, sexy and mysterious leader who deals with the every day challenges of life and makes people stop what they are doing when she enters the room.

They make great leaders in any walk of life and her stiletto means authority, her well fit blazer means “i’m here, bitches” and her structured dress means assertiveness!

A boss babe is known to be attractive, mysterious, sexy but doesn’t muck around! and if you are a babe who wants to spice up her wardrobe and have everyone stop and make way when you enter the room then you’ve found yourself at the right blog! (woohoo!)

No, you don’t have to change your personality to become a boss babe, only a few tweaks to your wardrobe will do the job!

1. CONQUER YOUR STYLE

Remember, a boss babe is a self assured woman who knows what she wants and how to get there! Only YOU can carry your clothes in a boss babe way! so open up that closet and throw out all your old clothes you don’t wear anymore and throw out all those clothes that drag you down! When you are conquering your style you want your clothes to lift you up and make you feel BADA$$ – when shopping for new clothes for your new boss babe outlook, only buy clothes that make YOU feel sexy and confident – you’re not dressing for anyone but you!

2. CONQUER YOUR BODY TYPE

A boss babe is confident in her own skin. They embrace their flaws and flaunt what they have – don’t buy a size 4 if you’re a size 8 and don’t buy a size 8 if you’re a size 12, choose your right size clothes! and dress for your body type! If you want to fit into a size 8, don’t sulk about it, do something about it!

3. ROCK YOUR ASSETS

Invest in clothes and pieces that give off a powerful aura, that type of aura that says “IM HERE BITCHES” A boss babe deserves what she wants, because she works hard for it! go and buy those tony biancos or those louboutins and show off your legs, highlight that tiny waist and that peachy booty! but…do it with respect! don’t go out in a tiny skirt to highlight your ass, a boss babe is a classy babe, understand your value

4. LOVE AND RESPECT YOURSELF!

Respect is gained by first respecting yourself! Educate yourself, be proud of who you are, set your goals and conquer them!

5. DATE A MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR VALUE

A boss babe has no time to deal with men who don’t treat her right and walk all over her, and in fact no woman should deal with that. A boss babe has no time for men who play games.
