Build Better Relationships with Your Family (1)

Build Better Relationships with Your
Family Define family? Family is our own
universe, making us feel secure, a bunch of
people we can share any problem and count on them
during the tough times, sharing mutual respect
and each other admiring privacy. This is my own
version about family.
Building a healthy family relationship is not a
choice, but a necessity in modern times. We all
face harsh time at different phase of life and
need someone to stand with us during a
crisis. So here are four steps to build better
relationships with your family (The steps are
derived from our emotional intelligence
certification program widely organized in India).

Step 1 Try to spend maximum time, when everyone
in the home is present. Like eating dinner
together, it is a healthy habit and gives ample
time to ask wellbeing and discuss the day. It
acts as glue in bringing everyone together. It
disconnects your from your daily busy life and
give a peace of mind. Step 2 Spend time with
your family in recreational activities like
playing Ludo or board games during the weekend,
go for a picnic or read books together. Even
family gathering at rituals gives time to nourish
the bonding. People get to know each other and
understanding each other likes and
dislikes. Step 3 Respect each other opinions and
let them have their personal space. If your
husband asks for some personal space, leave him
alone. Dont peep around your husband and when
needed give him personal attention. This will
strengthen the bonding, mutual trust and care for
each other. Step 4 Allow yourself and everyone
to speak freely and express their emotions. This
lays a solid foundation for a healthy
relationship and help in resolving conflicts,
arguments, releasing frustration. Free
communication is the key it develops your
listening skills as well as interpersonal
skills. Building a relationship requires a high
degree of emotional intelligence and a brief
understanding about human behavior. NLP has been
instrumental in learning how to develop rapport
with everyone and mastering verbal and
non-verbal communication.
