Some Tips For Improving Interactions With Loved Ones

Share more. Be open and honest about what is really going on in your life. This will help others relate to you better and, in turn, open up to you.

Make time to talk. Agree to a time to chat each day. Consider setting a time limit, especially for couples where one person likes to talk more than the other. It helps the quiet person speak up—and the chatty one focus on what's really worth saying.

Go outside together. Being outdoors relieves stress and makes it easier to connect. There's also less need for direct eye contact, sometimes a good thing.

Discuss finances. Money is one of the most divisive issues in a relationship. Discuss it and decide how to manage it before it becomes a problem.

Turn off the computer. And the iPhone, TV and videogames.

Try talking without a screen in front of you. Too many families spend evenings with their separate electronic devices.

Make new friends. Research shows that high-quality relationships are important. Add to your support network by reaching out to someone you'd like to know better

Listen Up! Enrich Your Relationships Through Active Listening

By Jennifer L. Huget 


You probably think you're a pretty good listener. But unless you've studied the tenets of a process known as "active listening," you might be missing a lot.

Active listening calls for the listener to devote his full attention to the speaker, to genuinely care what the other person's saying and to encourage the speaker to keep talking.

It's the polar opposite of what most of us do every day, according to Virginia-based psychologist Elliott Jaffa, Ph.D.
"Active listening is like learning another language," explains Jaffa, who says most people are far more interested in what they themselves have to say rather than what others are saying to them.

"The opposite of listening," he explains, "is waiting." Instead of listening carefully, many people subconsciously send the message "I want you to hurry up and shut up so I can talk."

And while waiting for their turn to speak, people often don't pay attention to what others are saying. "They're too busy organizing what they're going to say," Jaffa explains.

Proponents of active listening say it can improve all sorts of relationships. Husbands and wives, parents and children, students and teachers, doctors and patients, and employees and bosses (and fellow employees) all can benefit from paying closer attention to what each other says as well as from using active listening as a means of showing respect to one another.

Why listening isn't always easy

Learning to listen well can be challenging, says Judi Brownell, Ph.D., former president of the River Falls, Wisc.-based International Listening Association and the author of two books on listening: Listening: Attitudes, Principles, and Skills (Allyn & Bacon, 3rd edition, 2005) and Building Active Listening Skills (Prentice Hall, 1986).

"The listener may struggle at first because so many of us have spent years focusing on getting our own messages across rather than on fully understanding someone else," she says. Active listening also "requires that the individual do something with what he or she hears."

"It begins with focused attention to the speaker and extends to comprehension, interpretation and evaluation of the message," says Brownell. "Remembering what is heard and responding appropriately are also included in the active listening process."

Active listening basics

In most instances, active listening consists of a few deceptively simple techniques:

• Offering encouragement by nodding or saying "uh-huh" or "I see"
• Restating the basic ideas, using terms such as "If I understand you correctly, ..." or "So what you're saying is ..."
• Reflecting on the feelings that the speaker is trying to convey: "Seems like that bothered you a lot ..."
• Summarizing the speaker's key ideas

Brownell says such a structured approach serves several purposes. "It allows the speaker to hear the message as interpreted by the listener and to adjust it if it has been misunderstood or is incomplete. It also prevents the listener from becoming judgmental, so that the speaker is free to express him/herself without becoming defensive," she says.

"The active listening response encourages the speaker to continue speaking," Brownell adds. "This type of listening is empowering because the speaker's thoughts and feelings are reflected and reaffirmed, providing a safe and supportive context."

At first, active listening techniques can seem stilted and artificial. But with practice, experts agree that you can learn to incorporate active listening skills seamlessly into your everyday conversations.
"Active listening is a learned behavior, but it's something anyone can learn," Jaffa says.

More tips

Jaffa offers these additional tips for becoming a proactive listener:

• Shut up. Stop talking.
• Cheat. Pick up a pencil and paper and take notes.
• Sit down with the person. Say, "Let's sit down and talk." This shows that what the person is saying is important.
• Be aware of your body language and facial expressions. If you keep looking over the speaker's shoulder to see who else is in the room, the speaker won't think that you're listening.
• Ask open-ended questions — and ask questions that will elicit the information you want to know.
• Ask for clarification. It's OK to say you're not sure what the speaker has said and to ask him to repeat himself.
• Paraphrase. Repeat the main ideas back to the speaker. But don't interrupt — wait until the speaker's finished their thought.

Get Away... (revised)
By Heavenly


Can we go
I wanna leave with you
somewhere far away
Hey Love...
take me in your arms
hold me tight
and take me away from here
We need to get away
let's leave tonight
Can we go
I can't stay here anymore

Can we go

from each other's love
I just wanna love you
'cause you are my love
Can we go

Hey cutie...

We don't need to be apart
Can we go

and spend some time with me
Babe...
I'm not waiting anymore
I need to be with you
I want your body
and everything else
so let's get away

Successful Relationship Tips

By Parul Solanki


Many of us spend days, even years finding the one person who we think would be right for us, our perfect soul mate. However, as the relationship with the so called "soulmate" progresses, it is strange that the subtle quirks that you liked so much about him/her have become so "toe-curlingly" annoying. The result: broken hearts, pain and not to forget the high rates of divorce. So why are the relationships we have restricted to casual flings rather than something more meaningful and permanent? Well, as much as we may try to find it elsewhere, the key to successful and healthy relationships lie within us. Here are some successful relationship tips that you can use to build a solid foundation and find the depth in your relationships to make it last a lifetime.

Tips for a Successful Relationship
Long Term Commitment: The inclusion of this as the very first point indicates the importance of commitment towards a relationship. An absence of it can lead to frustration, anger and infidelity sooner or later in the relationship. A vision of the future of the relationship is what binds people together.

Like Each Other: People choose partners based on the common interests, passion and thought processes. Although liking each other may sound quite simplistic, it is quite an important factor for a successful relationship. Most people stick on to a bad relationship just because they feel they cannot get anyone better. Thus it is a good idea to probe into your partner’s mind questioning simple things like interests, hobbies, career goals. This will make it easier for you to understand the person and whether you want to spend your life with him or her.

Communication: Without proper communication a relationship can never thrive. Hidden resentments need to be vented out or else they can poison any relationship. This of course involves talking as well as listening. While most people are good at venting out their emotions and feelings, only a handful of people actually LISTEN. Hear out what your partner has to say, understand his or her decisions and then put forth your viewpoint. Encouraging your partner to listen and listening when he or she has something to say makes the other person feel appreciated and special.

Spend Time Together: As our schedules become hectic and children take a significant portion of our time and attention, spending quality time together can slip down our list of priorities. However, it is important to find time for one another. Remember the time when you fell in love. The urgency and need to meet the other person may not be sustainable in the long run but spending time on a daily basis is just as important one year down the line as it was when you first fell head over heels in love with him or her.

Arguments: Arguments are a part of life and any relationship will have its set of misunderstandings. Remember that you are two different individuals with separate thought processes and relationship issues are bound to crop up sometime. So arguing is just a part of human nature and is a way of flexing individual personalities. However, it is a good idea to understand your limits in an argument. Physical and verbal abuse is a crime and should not be resorted to in any circumstance.

Affection: Simple things like holding hands, a hug and even a smile can light up our lives. Keep the chemistry alive by taking her out on long romantic drives or cooking him a romantic dinner.

Acceptance: Change is inevitable in our lives and over a period of time everyone and almost everything changes. While some may be easier to accept, others may be difficult for a couple to adjust to. However, remember that in every successful relationship adapting to changes and accepting them is a part of our lives.
While most of these successful relationship tips might sound quite familiar, in our everyday rat race we forget to implement them. The result is a relationship breakup and a host of other issues. So spend time together, laugh, cry and love each other and in no time you too will be in a successful loving relationship that lasts a lifetime. Good Luck!

Lyrics Of The Week: The Light

The Light
-Common


Yeah..
Doo-doo-doo, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm..
Doo-doo-d-doo, diggy-doo YO..

I never knew a luh, luh-luh, a love like this
Gotta be somethin for me to write this
Queen, I ain't seen you in a minute
Wrote this letter, and finally decide to send it
Signed sealed delivered for us to grow together
Love has no limit, let's spend it slow forever
I know your heart is weathered by what studs did to you
I ain't gon' assault em cause I probably did it too
Because of you, feelings I handle with care
Some niggaz recognize the light but they can't handle the glare
You know I ain't the type to walk around with matchin shirts
If relationship is effort I will match your work
I wanna be the one to make you happiest, and hurt you the most
They say the end is near, it's important that we close..
.. to the most, high
Regardless of what happen on him let's rely

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

Yo, yo, check it
It's important, we communicate
and tune the fate of this union, to the right pitch
I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you
Few understand the union of woman and man
And sex and a tingle is where they assume that it land
But that's fly by night for you and the sky I write
For in these cold Chi night's moon, you my light
If heaven had a height, you would be that tall
Ghetto to coffee shop, through you I see that all
Let's stick to understandin and we won't fall
For better or worse times, I hope to me you call
So I pray everyday more than anything
friends will stay as we begin to lay
this foundation for a family - love ain't simple
Why can't it be anything worth having you work at annually
Granted we known each other for some time
It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side, oh darling
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

Yeah.. yo, yo, check it
It's kinda fresh you listen to more than hip-hop
and I can catch you in the mix from beauty to thrift shop
Plus you ship hop when it's time to, thinkin you fresh
Suggestin beats I should rhyme to
At times when I'm lost I try to find you
You know to give me space when it's time to
My heart's dictionary defines you, as love and happiness
Truthfully it's hard tryin to practice abstinence
The time we committed love it was real good
Had to be for me to arrive and it still feel good
I know the sex ain't gon' keep you, but as my equal
it's how I must treat you
As my reflection in light I'ma lead you
And whatever's right, I'ma feed you
Ticka tah, ticka tah, ticka ticka tickah
Yo I tell you the rest when I see you, peace

There are times.. when you'll need someone..
I will be by your side..
There is a light, that shines,
special for you, and me..

(I'll) take my chances.. before they pass..
.. pass me by, oh darling..
You need to look at the other side..
You'll agree..

Poem Of The Week: Lost

Lost
-Arielle


I don’t know if you’re pushing me away or pulling me closer
I don’t know where I stand
I don’t know what you want from me
Or if you care at all

Your words lash out and hurt
Then lovingly draw me in
I don’t know what you want from me
Do you want this to end

Don’t turn tables
Or place this on me
Just come out and tell me
What it is you want

I can’t read minds
I don’t know where I stand
Are you pushing me away
Or are you going to finally let me in
