The power of compliments
Many of us have
been brought up with a lot of criticism from our
parents. Most of us have had little compliments
during our upbringing. We learn form our early
life and continue the same patterns in our
relationships. We get into a blame mode and do
not take responsibility for our own emotions. We
do not use the power of compliments.
Try this simple
exercise with partner. Every day find something
of value to compliment him or her. Maybe it is
something simple like taking the garbage bin
out. Or how she is dressed.
Make at least
5 compliments each day. Both make this
commitment and see if you get closer together.
Most women need to feel a emotional connection
before making love.
Next make a
commitment to remove blame from our
relationship. This is a challenging commitment
but possible if you work at it. If you partner
does something that challenges you, instead of
attacking or criticizing, just say what you are
feeling inside and see what response you get.
It is possible to
transform a relationship that is in blame mode
to a more conscious relationship based on
praise.
