As we discussed in Part 2, any time you\u2019re upset with someone, it\u2019s because you feel that they have broken your rules\u2014even if you never <em>articulated <\/em>those rules. So, take time to share your rules and to find out about your partner\u2019s rules, and agree to both make an effort to meet each other\u2019s rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone has their own rules, and no one\u2019s rules are more or less correct than someone else\u2019s; they\u2019re all arbitrary. Still, we expect others to live by our rules, even if we never articulated or they never explicitly agreed to those rules. In fact, <strong>every time we get upset with someone, the root of our agitation is that we feel that person broke one of our rules.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, imagine that you have a rule that people who care about each other show their interest by asking the other person questions about herself. Now imagine that your friend has a conflicting rule that people who care about each other don\u2019t prod for personal information, but rather share information about themselves unsolicited so that the other person feels free to do the same. If neither of you articulate your rule but expect the other person to abide by it, you\u2019ll both end up extremely upset and questioning the quality of your relationship; you\u2019ll be waiting for your friend to ask you questions and your friend will be waiting for you to open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to avoid such conflicts, it\u2019s critical to your relationships\u2014both personal and professional\u2014that you:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Become aware of your rules<\/strong>, especially those that directly impact your relationships (such as rules that govern how people show love and respect).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clearly communicate your rules <\/strong>to the other person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be willing to listen <\/strong>to and follow some of the other person\u2019s rules, as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-understand-your-partner-s-rules\"><strong>Step 2: Understand Your Partner\u2019s Rules<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll have stronger relationships when you understand people\u2019s rules<\/strong>, because you\u2019ll be able to predict and interpret their behavior and to make them happy by fulfilling their rules. Still, you probably won\u2019t be able to prevent all conflict, so follow these steps next time you get upset with someone:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stop and remember that you\u2019re upset because of <em>your rules<\/em>, not because of <em>the other person\u2019s behavior<\/em>. Ask yourself whether you value your relationship or your rules more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remind yourself that, although your rules are important to you, they are arbitrary. Everyone\u2019s rules are different.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the other person know that you\u2019re upset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explain the rule they broke, and ask what their rule is for the situation. Try to distinguish between threshold rules and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/personal-standards\/\">personal standards<\/a>, so that you both especially avoid breaking each other\u2019s musts.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find a way to satisfy both your rules.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you know someone else\u2019s rules, you can still run into challenges when you, or other people, have <em>sub-rules <\/em>and <em>exceptions <\/em>to your rules. For example, you may have a rule that if someone is listening attentively, then they should respond to what you\u2019re saying\u2014<em>unless<\/em> you\u2019re talking about something serious or sensitive, then they should listen silently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be aware of your sub-rules so that you can communicate them to others, and make an effort to learn about their sub-rules so that you can avoid violating them. <\/strong>Uncommunicated sub-rules can create issues in a relationship when both people think they\u2019re clear on the rules and then one of them violates the fine print without realizing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-focus-on-giving\"><strong>Step 3: Focus on Giving<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on what you can <em>give <\/em>in your relationship, not what you can <em>gain<\/em> from it. Many people mistakenly enter into relationships in hopes that they will find the missing key to their happiness. However, this approach hurts the relationship along with your chances of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/finding-happiness-in-everyday-life\/\">finding happiness<\/a> within it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-don-t-let-problems-fester\"><strong>Step 4: Don\u2019t Let Problems Fester<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Address problems in your relationship early, before they grow into larger issues. The most powerful antidote to problems is early, frequent communication. Explain your rules, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/transformational-vocabulary\/\">Transformational Vocabulary<\/a>, and interrupt your pattern when you get into arguments that devolve into senseless bickering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t address problems when they\u2019re small, they can evolve into harmful patterns as they go through these four stages:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resistance<\/strong>: It\u2019s common to reach a point in your relationship when you feel bothered by something that your partner says or does. At this stage, it\u2019s critical to let your partner know how you\u2019re feeling in order to prevent your feelings from graduating to the next stage.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Resentment<\/strong>: If you haven\u2019t addressed your feelings of resistance, they compound and turn into resentment, which causes you to feel angry with your partner for the things they say or do. Resentment impedes intimacy by creating an emotional barrier that only grows unless you address it.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rejection<\/strong>: If you allow your resentment to build, you soon start looking for ways to reject your partner. You find opportunities to attack your partner and you think that everything they do is annoying. At this point, you begin to separate yourself physically as well as emotionally.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repression<\/strong>: To cope with the pain of your disintegrating relationship, you eventually repress your feelings and disconnect. Although this eliminates your pain, it also kills the passion and love in your relationship. At this point, your partner essentially becomes your roommate.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-prioritize-your-relationship\"><strong>Step 5 Prioritize Your Relationship<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your relationship one of your top priorities. Relationships require consistent effort to remain healthy, and they suffer if they\u2019re neglected for too long. Don\u2019t allow your relationship to run on autopilot while you attend to the pressures of daily life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-focus-on-your-relationship-s-future-not-its-end\"><strong>Step 6: Focus on Your Relationship\u2019s Future, Not Its End<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus each day on improving your relationship, and avoid dwelling on your fear that the relationship could one day end. If you focus on the relationship\u2019s potential demise, you\u2019ll unconsciously move in that direction by adopting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-sabotaging-behavior\/\">self-sabotaging behaviors<\/a>. Furthermore, never threaten to leave unless you\u2019re truly considering breaking up. Raising the threat of leaving puts both your and your partner\u2019s focus on a potential breakup rather than a resolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-7-consistently-reinforce-your-positive-emotions\"><strong>Step 7: Consistently Reinforce Your Positive Emotions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Reinforce your feelings of love, intimacy, attraction, and appreciation for your partner every day. Remind yourself of the reasons you\u2019re with this person. Ask yourself how you got so lucky to share your life with this person. To maintain your spark and prevent stagnation, constantly look for ways to surprise and share special moments with your partner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tony-robbins-relationships-exercise\"><strong>Tony Robbins: Relationships Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Abiding by Tony Robbins\u2019 relationship advice will help you maintain a healthy relationship, and today\u2019s exercise kickstarts and supports those efforts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Talk to your partner about what each of you values most in a relationship, and share each of your rules for those values.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make an effort to follow your partner\u2019s rules.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Commit to prioritizing the health of your relationship over winning arguments.<\/strong> Remember this especially when you get caught up in the heat of an argument and you feel the urge to prove that you\u2019re right and your partner\u2019s wrong. When you catch yourself doing this, disrupt your pattern, stop the discussion, and resume it after you\u2019ve cooled off.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brainstorm with your partner to come up with a pattern disruption that you\u2019ll both use when you either or both of you become really upset. Use something strange or funny so that, when you deploy it in the middle of an argument, it will make you smile and ease the tension, even if just for a moment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When you notice yourself feeling resistance toward your partner, immediately communicate your feelings. <\/strong>Use Transformational Vocabulary to ease the intensity of your feelings.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prioritize regular date nights every one to two weeks, and take turns planning imaginative, romantic dates.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share at least one three-minute kiss each day.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow Tony Robbins\u2019 relationship advice to understand your partner better and improve your well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Tony Robbins\u2019 relationship advice?
