The 4 LETTER WORD

The 4 letter word LOVE.....ummm Love isn't a fariy tale glass slipper, horses and a carriage if it was it would truly be enchanting, promising and everlasting a dream come true.What is Love? It can be a beautiful thing when it's shared equally. A healthy relationship thrives and survives only when it's built on a soild foundation of respect , security, and commitment.

SOME TIMES YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE BITTER WITH SWEET.

{Respect in a relationship is reflected in how you treat each other on a daily basis. Even if you disagree or have an agrument. Arguments do happen you should still be able to respect each other's opinions and feelings. Respect in your relationship builds feelings of trust and safety.

{Security in a relationship is all about support. You should be able to lean on each other when feeling down or stressed. when you and your partner support each other it leads to longevity, trust, and vulnerabilty. A secured relationship creates a secured bond between the two feeling a strong sense of WE like Bonnie and Clyde.

{Commitment in a relationship means keeping your promise. Even when it's difficuilt when the tough gets to going. Relationships are not always easy sailing you will encounter some waves. Comunication is vital it keeps the relationship healthy. Communication based in honesty will increase the trust in your relationship and deepens the bond.

I know your probably saying to yourself that's it's impossible for a relationship to be entirely equal. One person always loves a little bit more than the other. We all have been there. I can truly speak for myself. Loving so hard to only become heart broken and disappointed. What is love When the heart isn't in it? It's emptiness. Something is missing the 4 letter word LOVE. When the heart and mind begin to wrestle it can leave you with the feelings and thoughts of not being able to be yourself, not feeling secured, and wanted. Thoughts should I stay or should I leave.

If the relationship is in a unhealthy state causing unhappiness, dispair, loneliness and fustration. It is now time for self and relationship evalation. It's best to start with self first and accept full accountability owning how your actions and behavorial contributed to the negative cycle. I believe that we need to be accountable for our partners feelings in order to have a successful relationship.

Your self-worth is the overall opinion you have of yourself. It encapsulates all you believe to be your strengths, weakness, limitations, and personal leverage systems. Your self worth plays a huge role in how you relate with people and interact with the world around you.

Love first starts with you. Finding or knowing your self worth. When you are confident in who you are and what you you bring to the table. That makes you more attractive.

Being honest means loving and accepting yourself for who you truly are. Being honest with yourself leads to feeling of openness, expansion, inner joy and freedom. Be your Athentic Self.

Being fulfilled within yourself is being emotionally balanced. It critical for your health mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Your partner will find it easier to connect with you emotionally, physically and spiritually.
