5 Simple Ways To Relationship Bliss by blogger Casey

Feeling good about yourself helps many other aspects of your life. From your health to your job to your relationships, it is obviously very important that you are always working to care for and improve yourself. However, it may feel nearly impossible to do this sometimes or confusing about how exactly to go about doing so. This is why I’m providing five simple things you can do to improve your own life (and therefore improve your relationship in the process).

1. Love yourself
This one seems obvious, but sadly, far too many people do not truly love themselves or are happy with who they are. Feelings of not being good enough or lacking self-worth can seriously damage a budding relationship. Remember, your partner is not here to make you feel better about yourself. Only you can do that. Instead, your partner is here to be a partner in all sense of the word – a companion at your side, living his amazing life while you live yours.

2. Exercise
Taking care of your body (and therefore your physical health) can drastically improve your mental health as well. You will likely feel better about yourself, which will translate to more confidence and a better, happier relationship.

3. Engage with your feelings in a healthy way.
It’s only too easy to let our feelings get the best of us sometimes. Instead of allowing yourself to become easily upset by little things or suppressing your feelings when something bothers you, take some time to figure out how you can best deal with your emotions in a positive, healthy way. Ask yourself questions like, “Why am I upset?” “Is this a justified feeling?” And consider engaging in mediation or other stress-relieving activities to improve your mental health.

4. Handle stress smarter.
If you are one of those people who are chronically worrying about something and feel constantly stressed or anxious, you should consider working on this issue and potentially seeking out help to deal with your fears or to find a solution in your everyday life, such as writing down your thoughts in a journal or starting a new hobby.

5. Appreciate the little things.
It’s all too easy to fall into a routine day in and day out and forget to appreciate and admire all of the amazing little things present in your life. From the beautiful sunset in the evening to your husband taking the dishes out of the dishwasher, noticing these little things will make your life seem so much better.
