Today Would Have Been My Father’s 58th Birthday And I Choose To Celebrate Our Relationship. 

I Am Sharing The Four Mindset Shifts That Have Helped Me Tremendously  To Understand Love And Show Up For Relationships That Supports Growth. 

My Relationship with my dad has been my biggest container for growth over the last four years, and yes I do mean after he passed away. My Father was a man of a small amount of words but his actions spoke louder than words. This was a hard concept for me to understand while growing up because I LOVE Talking and getting excited over the smallest details. I admire him without question, I’ve always wanted to grow up like him: Level-headed, super responsible and audacious. He always wanted what was best for me, we wouldn’t see eye to eye on a few areas but he always listened to what I had to say and we would reach a middle ground always.

This is what I’ve learned about relationships, they are our greatest containers for growth, mainly because we have all been raised in a different way and we have different ways we express and showcase our love for each other.

These are my four tips on how to heal your relationships:

•  Recognise what is your love language. How do you show your appreciation and love for the people you care most in your life? It might be through words, actions or contact. Ponder this for a moment. This will give you greater clarity on your preference. Also, think of the ways you enjoy to receive affection from others and if there is a discrepancy there.

•  Think of the person you would like to heal your relationship with. How have you shown them your appreciation and set up the environment to talk with them and ask them what’s their love language.  You might be surprised by what you find out.  Truly listen to what they have to say and then tell them what is yours. Reach to an agreement.

• Love is a two way street and an inside job: Let people love you to their best capability. Love isn’t judgemental or a way to get your needs met.  Even if we are talking about a romantic relationship, this person would be a partner, not  the answer to your problems.  Always know that you are responsible for your own happiness. 

• Be open to guidance after you’ve been emotionally triggered and take action.  If this person does something that brings up an unwanted feeling in you, learn to forgive and let go.  These triggers are perceptions you were called to heal from your past. It could be that you feel you are not good enough or that you don’t belong, etc.  You would be forgiving this person in particular and the one who you perceived this fake reality from.  After you do this, create a new mantra for yourself that reinforces the positive contrast of the negative feeling trigger.

Hope this helps. Today, I no longer hold anyone responsible for my happiness. I am immensely grateful for the love my dad had to offer and all the growth I have gotten from his teachings and insights.  Happy Birthday in heaven, dad! Love you to the moon and back. <3
