Relationships are the most sensitive elements of human life, as they are linked to emotional harmony and success.
“A person with money may or may not be happy, but a person with good relationships will definitely be happy.“
I once read a quote that says
“Count your wealth by the number of friends & your success by smiles.”
How to maintain a healthy relationship
Relationships are mostly two-way dynamics, and they become successful when persons involved mutually work towards it.
Healthy relationships require good communication skills, attitude, approach, and ability to succeed.
The relationships vary from friends, parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts, co-workers, etc.
The better the relationships, the easier life is with sound control.
They save time and minimize personal stress.
On the contrary, unsound relationships cause intense pain and agony.
However, one finds it hard to live without relationships.
This is because humans are social animals and can barely survive without relationships.
How to maintain healthy relationships
Before we go in, remember that
- One should love to build relationships.
- Almost everyone has some flaws in relationships, but the flaws can be overcome by practice.
However, by following the points below, one can maintain healthy relationships.
Use Good words for speech.
- A person with decent speech can maintain good relations. This is because he avoids hurting people to a large extent.
- Talking is one where if you say something, it is gone from your control. Speaking harshly, rudely, or in an abusive manner cannot be corrected quickly.
- Talking in a friendly and polite manner helps one win many people in life as well-wishers.
Greetings or wishes
- This is a courteous way to build and maintain relationships. Send wishes and greetings, invite people to parties, and attend marriages or any of their celebrations.
- Even if there is animosity or friction with someone, if you wish them good morning or just a simple ‘hi’, things will turn around, and the conflict gradually disappears.
- Keep communication from the old workplace with those who seem to like you.
Avoid ego and focus on the task.
- Ego is a factor where most relations break up and even get worse.
- There are instances where someone might show his ego or use improper words to address.
- This might sometimes be casual; one should not focus on casual issues and break relationships.
- Instead, think of the work or task that needs to be done by the said person and go ahead.
- Then, once the task is done together, you will feel happy about the task accomplished.
- Many people break relationships in the above issues; instead of focusing on the task, they focus on the person or his ego.
- The reality is that every person behaves in some absurd way, sometimes due to situations or circumstances around him, and he also changes with them.
Avoid hesitancy
- Hesitancy is the biggest obstacle to building relationships.
- Because of this, a good person might look egoist or bad in the eyes of others.
- So overcome hesitancy and try to speak out or say what you feel.
- Try to do what you feel inside without hesitating.
Improve communication in relationships
- Our communication should be pleasant, friendly, and pleasing.
- But, if you do not have one, keep socializing to develop communication.
- Further, one should not have negative opinions or wrong intentions toward others.
- Then, it would be easy to socialize with others.
Notice around:
- There will be someone who can communicate well with girls, and he has good friends among girls but cannot do so with boys or vice versa.
- There will be someone who has many friends, and everyone likes him. But this guy cannot even have a single girlfriend all his life.
- Some are not liked by anyone else. But he might have a good family, an honest girlfriend or spouse, etc.
- You might find someone who helps everyone if asked, without expecting a favor back. But do you know such guys repent a lot because he has no friends who can help in return when they are in need?
- You might also see some attractive girls with no permanent friends. They weep bitterly to keep up or maintain friends. But still, they keep losing old friends.
Based on these traits, you might understand that the way we communicate, the timing of our communication, behavior during communication, etc., play an important role in building healthy relationships.
Enhance your Personality
This is inborn, and mostly, one cannot change it in his lifetime. But who knows, if one puts the effort, it can.
- I have noticed some guys who don’t make the first move by talking to others. But people always try to talk to him or be nice to them. They do not even spread negative remarks about him.
- Some guys do not talk to anyone and keep minding their business, but people do not talk to them unless approached by the guy, and further, they spread unwanted negative remarks about them.
- Many famous comedians and actors in the world make others laugh. But in real life, these people could be less human-friendly. They also have enemies, and people jealous of them.
- Yet another type of person keeps good growth in his career. They speak only just to impress others or have a good rapport. But in reality, they never help others. But yet you might have seen many people like these guys.
Keep Growing in life.
- It is a human tendency to maintain good relations with those who are successful, happy, making good money, or have power, etc.
- So you must grow up in terms of wealth and career and keep your family and friends happy and prosperous.
- It should be done practically, and you cannot act as if you are so.
- They can easily judge you, so whatever your interest is, like career, business, spiritual life, etc., keep growing in your path.
- If not, you will be neglected just like a favorite horse is let off in old age.
Care for your dear ones
- The best relations to build are with yourself, your parents, family, friends, work, co-workers, neighbors, etc., with priority descendingly.
- Help them with their work, inquire about their happiness and progress, and be sincere in your talk and behavior.
- Though you might be disappointed by some, you will still win the game.
Avoid gossip
- The gossiping of others can hurt even after you have spoken them off for a long time.
- It is better to avoid gossip; if you are curious, it is a good method to inquire about them directly and privately.
Do not criticize openly
- Many do not like criticism in the open or even in private.
- It is good to make them understand by making extra effort in a friendly tone.
Maintain regular contact
- In the past, it was not an issue if you did not talk to your classmates for long due to living in different places.
- Once you meet them, the friendship can be reconciled with past memories.
- But now, in the social media and telephone age, you cannot be negligent. At least chat occasionally, like in a year or a few months.
Retain your character and build trust.
- You must always be who you are. The only thing is you need to be honest with yourself in relationships, too.
- Always remember, you cannot be kind to everyone in this world. You will lose yourself and your identity in being kind to everyone.
- So it is good to have a few good friends than hundreds of non-serious ones.
Try to retain the trust in the relationship at critical junctures. This will lead to long-lasting relations.
Advantages of healthy relationships
- One can have a feeling of belongingness and avoid loneliness.
- You get tasks done easily due to sharing.
- It gives mental support if the relationship is a family member.
- Someone will look after you in times of sickness or trouble.
- Gain knowledge and important information that might help in growth financially or career-wise.
- Get honest suggestions and guidance in times of need.
