8 Strategies for a Successful Relationship

Wow!! Being in a COMMITTED Relationship will help you learn a lot about yourself and your partner if you don't allow yourself to run away when things get challenging, provoking and rage-filled.

Aren't relationships beautiful at triggering our biggest stuff?!

I am SO grateful I never ran away whenever things got challenging in my relationship with Maveryck. 

It's incredible how 9 years later, I love him more than ever before!  

Enjoy (and implement) these powerful 8 strategies I've learned in creating a beautiful, loving and successful relationship!

1.) Choice. Let go of victim mentality and remember you are in each other's life for a reason. To heal, to evolve into love & to co-create. You have a choice each day to be with this person or not. It's your choice. It's their choice. Let go of any feelings of ownership because a piece of paper says so (clearly ownership isn't true with the divorce rate so high) Choice = gratitude

2.) Reflection. You choose each other to be a mirror for where you're at in life. They are your reflection. What you don't like about someone is reflecting parts of yourself that you don't like. What you love about that person is highlighting parts of yourself that want to come out more. Live empowered in this relationship.

3.) Projection. Own your feelings, your emotions and your thoughts. Catch yourself when you blame your partner for how you feel. Stop blaming your partner for making you feel a certain way. You are responsible for your feelings and you also have the opportunity to be thankful that they triggered parts of you that want some attention so you can shine brighter, live more empowered and love all of you!

4.) Connection. Remember those early days when jealousy is so present, or maybe you're in it now. When you see your partner connecting with another beautiful soul, it's common to feel jealous, upset or fear. So remember connection is healthy. It's why we are here on earth. To have a human experience connecting with other beautiful souls, co-creating. Instead of avoiding it and acting weird, talk about your feelings and what it brought up FOR YOU without any blame. When you witness energy dancing between your partner and someone else, it can make you feel less than, worried they'll leave you or you name it... this is Awesome to explore within yourself the parts of you that want healing.

5.) Team! Don't even try to be everything to them. This is a common mistake I often see in relationships and one that I've made. When we try to be EVERYTHING to our partner, obligation can enter the relationship. And most of us know what obligation leads to... resentment. Resentment is a killer in relationships. Let go of being the "Jill of All Trades" and be the lover & best friend that you originally started as. Allow your partner to hire a life coach, hire a massage therapist, hire a chef, hire a cleaner, hire a personal assistant. Allow your partner to create a support team so you can be the goddess that you are with a full overflowing cup of love & juiciness.

6.) Yes AND! There's a word that shuts people down. It's BUT !! When we use the word 'but', we are saying we don't agree with them. It's incredible how powerful this trick is. Instead of saying "yeah but..." you can say "yeah and" - this allows the other person to feel heard and not feel shut down. When you accept what they say and then add in your point of view, it changes the energy of the conversation. Turn your 'buts' into 'ands' and it'll be a much more fulfilling conversation.

7.) Eyes! Your eyes are gateways to your soul. Make sure you slow down and make solid eye contact at least once throughout the day. Look into how they are doing on a soul level. Receive a prophetic word to share with them. Be with what is.

8.) Permission. Before you start vomiting a challenging situation onto your partner because you want to resolve it and diffuse the energetic build-up, check in first and ask your partner if they have the space to discuss something. Show respect for their journey they are on and ask if they have space to help you resolve something. If they say not now, you can ask them to set up a time to sit down together so you can respectfully share, discuss and ask for guidance when they have more space to be with it.

Practice these 8 strategies and you'll be set up for an empowered, loving and prosperous relationship.
