    • Increased Confidence: Feeling loved and supported boosts self-confidence.

  3. Effective Communication:
    • Regular communication is essential. Be clear about your thoughts and feelings.
    • Understand that misunderstandings happen; strive for clarity.
    • Non-verbal communication (body language, tone) matters too.

Each Person is unique with their own Life Path

It is important to remember, that each person is unique with their own distinct path to follow even your family and that this is OK, as long, as they are living positive, constructive live.
Encourage you to follow your dreams, not be frightened to tell you if think you might be off track, will understand that it is normal to make mistakes and allowing you to learn from them.

True friends will deter you from negative habits and encourage you in positive ones. They will love you because you are you. Not for what you have, do or accomplish. They will be there for the journey. To share your challenges and your successes. To just BE: Enjoying the Moment of Being in One Another’s Lives.

Success comes from Building Positive Relationships

8 Steps to Building Positive Relationships

that “Bring out the Best in You!”

Choosing quality over quantity friendships, is a major key to helping and supporting you to achieve your core desires, dreams and goals. Staying true to your values whilst building a Life of Optimal Health, Happiness and Vitality

  1. Don’t Seek to be Understood, Seek to Understand: When you dig deep into understanding your feelings and your reactions. How you want to be treated and how you want to be with people. This gives you the first step into developing positive friendships.
  2. Be Positive- “Be Solution Driven – Not Problem Driven”: Being positive doesn’t mean walking around with rose coloured glasses because things will go wrong. There will be upsets sometimes even arguments. It means to look for something good in the situation, person or event. Don’t allow yourself to think the worst. Look to find a solution to the problem or to just agree to disagree.
  3. Be Real, Be Honest: See things how they are: Not worse than they are or better than they are, but How they are: This gives you a strong base to work from to move your life and relationships in a positive direction.
  4. Don’t Gossip -“Never to lie about someone or embellish the Truth”: Gossiping, putting people down is one of the best ways to detract positive friendships. So no getting off, on other people’s hardships, just allow it to be.
  5. Never Lie: Lying is just such a turn off for a positive relationship because if there is a problem and you are lying about it, then it can’t be solved. With trust being a major component to attracting positive people into your life. Lying will certainly sabotage that. If there is something that you don’t want to speak about, just don’t say anything.
  6. Don’t Compare Yourself or Your Life with your Friends: Or anyone else’s life. The only time that this can be healthy is if someone is doing or achieving something that you would like to achieve. Then knowing that if they can do it so can you. Otherwise enjoy the differences in one another’s lives.
  7. Care for You: Yes, take care of yourself, be your best friend. Love yourself unconditionally, eat healthy nutritious foods, take charge of your emotions and thoughts to bring about feelings of gratitude, love and warmth into your life.
  8. Don’t Take on other People’s Problems: This can sometimes be a difficult one, especially with family, spouses, children and so on. But an absolutely necessary one to develop positive friendships. Because you may have well worked through what they are going through, feeling really able to help. But unless they ask for this, JUST LISTEN. Then just allow it to be!
