Tips for Everlasting love:

Emotional intelligence is the main secret to everlasting love in Relationships.

The first step of love -Know yourself:

Have an honest look at yourself. Know your impulses, emotions, triggering factors, reactions, and responses to internal and external stimuli. When you know yourself in depth, you won’t blame others and take responsibility for the things that happen in and around you. Read about Self-awareness in detail, it gives an idea.

The second step of love is – Regulate yourself:

After knowing yourself completely, you don’t get an idea of changing the people around you. Because many times in love relationships, knowingly or unknowingly, we expect others to change for us.

When you are aware of yourself, you are in a position or you are in the mood to grow into your higher self, instead of blaming others, you will be working on regulating your emotions, impulses, and disruptive behaviors.

The third stage of love- Energizers:

Once you regulate yourself, your attitude towards life will change. You accept life as it is, and you see your problems as Challenges. You become highly motivated. This intrinsic motivation, positivity, and resilient quality impart your energy, vitality, and spirit to your loved ones.

The meaning of love:

The core expectancy of a relationship is “Understanding”. Understanding blossoms once you are tolerant. Because tolerance is a moral virtue and it needs patience, acceptance, and understanding.

When you start accepting your weakness & failures and you are comfortable in reflecting on your good & ugliest part, you don’t need or tend to project because you tolerate enough to recognize and experience the negative aspect of yourselves.

That is where Empathy and Compassion begin and you become connected to your loved ones Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually.

“Love means unconditional acceptance of yourself and others. It all starts with you. When you want to give a cup of tea to your loved ones, first you should have one. Likewise, have love in order to show and give it. Connect to yourself first, to rise in love”
