Losing Yourself in Relationships
- Relationships often cause us to lose ourselves by hiding parts of who we are to avoid conflict.
- Honest communication and mutual responsibility can cure this and deepen connection.
Shift From Blame to Responsibility
- When blaming your partner, pause and turn the blame inward with curiosity.
- Ask yourself why you may have created the situation instead of escalating conflict.
Reevaluate Repeated Complaints
- If you've complained thrice about the same issue without change, examine how you might maintain it.
- Consider changing your approach or taking the action yourself to break the cycle.
