Are you and your partner feeling the stress from the current crisis? With everyone practicing social distancing, that might mean you guys are in the house together more often than not. Couples usually find things start to get tense, especially as the stress level increases and the uncertainly of each day. Check out these Relationship Survival Tips to help you guys get through it all. #Relationships #SocialDistancing #Crisis

 

Relationship Survival Tips

  • Create and stick to a schedule

    • Our brains function better with structure and having a schedule helps to keep you grounded in life. This is especially true during a time like we are currently going through.

    • The more grounded you feel in your own life, the better your relationships are going to be.

  • Make sure everyone is getting enough downtime/me-time

    • Too much togetherness can lead to frustration and aggravation. You love your family and your significant other, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t set aside some time to recharge your own batteries.

  • Plan activities to do together that don’t involve media or other numbing behaviors

    • Too much negative input from sources like news and social media can dramatically increase feelings of anxiety.

    • Just a few ideas of ways to connect with each other include:

      • Have a picnic in your living room by candlelight

      • Watch movies

      • Play games

      • Work on a project together

  • Remember that everyone reacts to this situation with different emotions

    • Empathy is the key.

      • Try to put yourself in their shoes to understand why they may be reacting to things in their own way.

      • You don’t have to agree on everything to be supportive and understanding.

  • Self-care is a necessity

    • Taking intentional time during your day (5-30 minutes is ideal) will help you stay grounded and less depleted of your emotional energy

    • Some self care ideas include

      • Be creative

      • Move your body

      • Do a gratitude activity

      • Practice mindfulness

      • Meditate

      • Journal

  • Use this time to reset your relationship and your communication

    • What better time to work on your relationship than now?! Since you’re going to be spending so much time together, I suggest using the time to set intentions, goals and a vision for your relationship

Relationship Communication Online Workshop

I have created an online Relationship Communication Workshop to help you dig into the communication struggles in your relationship and start getting things back on track. I realize that not everyone wants to go through long-term therapy or the process of getting to a therapy appointment may not fit into your busy schedule. That's why I created this course. I wanted to provide you with a way to get access to the tools my clients get from me in my practice, but you can access the material from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are.

What's Included?

  • You will get access to a series of videos, activities and worksheets that are designed to help you dig into the various aspects of relationship communication.

  • We will talk about The 5 Love Languages, The 4 Tendencies, The 4 Agreements and so much more.

  • I'll provide you with actionable steps you can take to implement these tools into your relationships.

The Relationship Communication Online Video Workshop is now live online. Click the button below to get access and start improving your relationship today!

Here’s the link to get more information about the workshop. You can also find it and all my courses and variety of services on my Work with Me page. I am so excited to have you take part in this course!
