Sunday SAGe Volume 41: Share Your Love
Here is this week’s installment of Sunday SAGe, an email communication that shares wellness inspiration from The Wellness Ethic to help people thrive during the coming week (and beyond!).
This week, our focus is on sharing experiences with others to nurture healthy relationships.
Share Your Love
An excerpt from The Wellness Ethic:
The best relationships are between two people whose expectations of each other are met. They are compatible in the areas that matter to them. That doesn’t mean they are carbon copies of each other. They could have different personalities, politics, spiritual beliefs, you name it. But through it all, they’ve figured out how to share the intersection of their lives in a satisfying way that creates love and harmony and minimizes discord.
One way people share in a relationship is by engaging in everyday interactions. These are the ongoing connections that keep a relationship vibrant and fulfilling. They include conversations, experiences, and the simple joy of spending time together.
Another way to share is by providing support—emotionally and through words and actions—to help another person have the best possible outcome with whatever is going on in their life. When you provide support, you’re sharing you—your love, time, talents, encouragement, resources, and wisdom. That’s powerful. It’s exciting. Your support has a meaningful impact on a person’s life, sometimes a transformational one. It helps people feel like they matter and that they’re loved.
A third way to share in a relationship is by partnering on a common mission. When people engage at that level, they are mutually invested in the mission, and their emotional connection increases. Think about how you feel toward classmates who shared the coming-of-age experience with you, a life partner who has been lovingly by your side throughout life’s successes and sorrows, or a work colleague who was in the trenches with you on a big project. When two people row in the same direction on a common mission, it sets the stage for a deeper relationship. They share the journey of the partnership, both the triumphs and setbacks.
What It Means
To nurture healthy relationships, consider what is shared. How are you connecting in your everyday interactions? Are you getting the support you need from others? Have you asked your family, friends, or work colleagues what support they need from you? How about the missions in your life that you partner with others to fulfill? Are those partnerships thriving? What can be done to bring more satisfaction into your partnerships?
Every step forward that you take in your relationships improves your life and the lives of others.
Your Call to Action
Have a conversation with an important person in your life about what is shared in your relationship. What is working well, and what could be improved? Move forward with the opportunities that you both agree will bring more satisfaction to your relationship.
Have a thriving week!
