Don’t sabotage Relationships

Self-Awareness
• Notice patterns: Do you push people away when stressed, angry, or anxious?
• Own your feelings without blaming others. Saying “I feel hurt” instead of “You hurt me” is key.

2. Communication
   • Be clear and direct, but gentle. Avoid passive-aggressive hints or expecting your partner to read your mind.
   • Listen actively — really hear what they’re saying instead of preparing your reply.

3. Boundaries
   • Healthy relationships need limits: personal space, time for yourself, and respecting differences.
   • Boundaries prevent resentment, which is a common form of sabotage.

4. Avoiding Overthinking / Projection
   • Don’t assume intentions or imagine betrayals that aren’t there.
   • Check reality before reacting — ask, clarify, instead of jumping to conclusions.

5. Consistency & Trust
   • Keep promises, follow through on commitments. Inconsistency erodes trust quickly.
   • Admit mistakes openly; hiding or deflecting creates distance.

6. Self-Care
   • Stress, fatigue, or hormonal changes (like thyroid issues) can make you more reactive. Taking care of yourself protects your relationships.
