ADVICE

Stop Constant Criticism

  • Avoid being overly critical because constant criticism pushes good partners away and destroys security.
  • Replace criticism with understanding and compassion for minor annoyances.
ADVICE

Maintain Your Self-Care

  • Do prioritize self-care: sleep, diet, dental hygiene, and exercise to stay whole for a relationship.
  • Neglecting self-care signals you don't value yourself and attracts rescuers or deterioration.
ADVICE

Let Go Of The Past

  • Stop living in the past and stop replaying old hurts that keep you from trusting present partners.
