Healthy, loving relationships enrich our lives and are extremely satisfying. However, as we all know too well, these connections take work and energy, if they are to survive through both good and bad times.
Should you find that you often face conflict in your romantic relationships, you may want to look internally. The way in which you approach your partner in conversations can have a huge impact on their outcomes.
While many couples bicker and have problems, adapting your perspective could make a colossal difference. So you can work on this approach, you first need to understand the three minds in romantic relationships.
Positive Mind
The positive mind in a romantic relationship is optimistic and always sees the bright side. When you are in this mindset, you will always be looking for opportunities and ways to improve things.
When you are in this mindset, you will be looking for the best possible outcome in situations. However, this isn’t always the best approach. In some circumstances, you need to be cautious about your actions.
For example, a person who is in a positive mindset may move too quickly in a relationship. When they first meet someone special, they may be so blinded by the potential of what’s to come that they speed things up.
Negative Mind
The negative mind is there to protect you—it comes from a place of fear. When you are in this mindset in your romantic relationships, you will always be searching for threats and problems.
Of course, it is wise to look out for threats or possible problems in a relationship. However, when you’re always coming to the table from a place of fear, that can have an awful impact on your partner’s perception of you.
Individuals who are caught in a negative mindset tend to talk about their troubles and anxieties more than others. This approach means that there is little joy or happiness in the romantic relationship itself.
Neutral Mind
The neutral mind is neither positive nor negative. Instead, this is a balanced mindset that looks at both sides of the story. When you speak from your neutral mind, it is closest to your inner truth.
Ideally, we should be approaching relationships from a neutral standpoint. That means weighing up both the positives and the negatives in your relationship and seeing things as they are clearly.
When you adopt this mindset, it can change the way that you view your romantic attachments for the better. Allowing yourself to be open to both sides of things will mean that you make fair judgments.
Avoiding Conflict in Relationships
If you’re trying to avoid conflict in your romantic relationships, you should move into the space of the neutral mindset. Needless to say, this is not an easy transition. If you’re the type of person who is accustomed to using the negative or positive mindset, you may find that it is challenging to make this much-needed change.
The next time you’re in a conflict with your partner, take a moment to consider what mind you’re using. Are you looking for opportunities or are you acting out of fear? Learning to identify these habits could be the first step toward changing your patterns for the better and enhancing your romantic connections.
