There’s no room for blame in a relationship! Whenever we blame the other person, we forget to take responsibility for our role in the relationship. It requires us to use the “I” statements rather than the “you” statements.

Blaming looks like this:	Taking responsibility looks like this:
“You don’t care about my feelings.”	“I feel upset when my feelings are not acknowledged.”
“You always leave your dishes on the bench top.”	“I feel frustrated when I find the dishes on the bench top.

What are you grateful for in your relationships? 

Expressing gratitude helps in maintaining intimacy and in strengthening your relationships.               

Are you noticing where you are improving in looking after your well-being in your relationships? 

This is sometimes about routine and devoting time to us. For example, 

-       I’ve never missed a day to go for a nature walk with my dog in the last five years. 

-        I eat healthy, nutritional home-cooked food every day.
