5 Ways to Strengthen Relationships
Those who struggle to create and experience lasting relationships may be unaware of the power we each hold to reframe or turn our lives around. This requires introspection, shadowork, deep honesty. Before making hasty decisions, consider 5 Ways to explore new approachins to existing relationships:
1. Give & receive without judgement
2. Treat others as you would like to be treated (or better)
3. Derive strength and inspiration from relationships
4. Act to enable your partner to feel seen, heard & valued
5. Cultivate courage to speak your truth with compassion, understanding and love
Now, doing the above whole-heartedly opens you to deeper insight within yourself. If, when you communicate, you still do not feel loved, valued or heard and still do not feel on the same wavelength, then this invites you to step back and recognize your needs are not being met and other actions must be taken. Positive, lasting change can only result when you consistently listen and align with your true self.

Come Full Circle

Notice at a given moment, you can only ever do "your best" based on your current insight, level or stream of consciousness. A focal point of awareness knows there is never anything wrong with you or how you do anything. How and what we see is simply a matter of perspective. Purpose and circle of compassion simply change (expand or contract) based on sense of self. So long as you view yourself as a separate individual, purpose is related to time and distance imagined to reach "success," in forms of a job, life role, sense of community or experience. As you tune into the Soul, and reframe 'coming full circle,' the only purpose is to love everything and everyone equally not only in mind, but also consistently in practice. There is nowhere to go, nothing to become. As it dawns love and acceptance are here now, one's circle of compassion expands. One gently stops recognizing difference or attempting to prove oneself, stops comparing and judging. Imagined boundaries dissolve. The ego mind could never understand for it cannot comprehend unity, equality or interconnectedness. The more you notice fear and/or love speaking through you, the more you come to notice the ego comes and goes whereas true divine Being is ever-present. As timeless Being takes the helm and navigates the ship (human body-mind), then choices change and love is the ultimate purpose and motivation in every area of your life. Trust and surrender are the compass. This does not often happen instantly, but it does happen. We are each like a stone skipping across the cosmic ocean, leaving ripples, deciding what stacks up, changing vibration in due course.
Bridge fragmented aspects of self
Notice the first step is to wake up enough to see what is actually going on within yourself. Nature is a soundboard and guides us to see our true colours. To dive deep into infinite waters allows us to expose illusions and rejected aspects of our being. The deeper we go, the less fazed we are by waves, currents, unexpected storms and obstacles appearing on the Path. Developing a compassionate relationship with self and others allows spontaneous joy to arise along the journey. It does not matter so much where you are so as who you are with. Loving and accepting yourself more fully allows you to find courage to create rainbow bridges, integrating all sides or fragemented aspects of Self.
The key to 'Return to Normal'
Notice the 'return to normal' is not about something beyond you influencing how you think and feel or self-llimiting choices. Rather, its about a return to True Divine Nature and activating related energies at core of being. True power, vitality, longevity and Soul vision are grounded in expanding consciousness, deepening heartfelt connection, community, aligning with kindness and compassion, living according to a moral compass. Tuning into what resonates and living thus opens infinite doors, senses and realms of divine possibilities. Much remains unseen and inaccessible to egoic consciousness .
