Awakening Aphrodite 150. Fast Friday: 10 Habits That Threaten Your Relationships with Marisa Peer Part II
What makes a successful relationship?
In today's episode, I will be reading to you from “Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great about Yourself Every Day” by Marisa Peer. This will be Part II of a multi-episode Fast Friday series inspired by Marisa, so stay tuned!
The practice of giving and receiving love is laden with valuable (and oftentimes challenging!) lessons that compel us all to confront our deepest fears and unconscious mechanisms. This is Earth School, after all! Though each relationship - be it romantic, platonic, or familial - is beautifully unique in its own way, there are some well-defined red flags that we must recognize and avoid if we hope to build healthy relationships:
- Stop stonewalling
- Avoid contempt, scorn, mockery & superiority
- Avoid destructive criticism
- Steer clear of hitting below the belt
- Avoid defensiveness
- Stop referencing the past and past wrongdoings
- Understand the damage that results from threatening to leave the relationship
- Avoid the wrong roles in the relationships
- Avoid exaggerations and generalizations
- Don’t make your rules more important than your relationship
