Recipe for improving Relationships

We are in the age of 20:20 Cricket – all of us want quick solutions to our everyday problems, and instant results!

Here is a quick recipe for Feeling better, improving Relationships

Try these:

1. 1.    Say Please, Thank You, I am Sorry, I am Grateful as often as you can and to as many as you can.
2. 2.    When you are tempted to say, “try this…”, instead say, “what do you think?’
3. 3.    When listening to someone put forth a point of view, listen to his unique perspective, on it, rather than judge it for what’s right or wrong.
4. 4.    Avoid responding to what has been said, till you have given it full thought, “hmm, that’s interesting, I did not see things this way”.
5. 5.    Use Silence and eye contact, and facial expression to communicate for you instead of Words.
6. 6. When you have a negative emotion, try and observe your breathing: its pace, quality, etc. It will reveal itself to you.
7. 7  Close your eyes a few minutes each day, and try and listen to the sound of 'one hand clapping'.
8. 8. Try to answer the questioner, rather than the question asked. In what is said, lies the unsaid, and the also said.
9. 9. When you 'See it, Say it" - acknowledge behavior
10. Share your heart with the living, when the living lives, not when they are dead.
