The answer sheet 😀😀🎆 to who is a keeper.
I've posted this challenge last week (ensure that you also look at the original image for the contrast).
If you haven't done it with your partner you must do it. It's not that the answers presented are correct. It's more about how you figure it out together.
So this is what we came up with. 💓💙
💚 If your partner displays these characteristics or behaviours you know you've got a keeper. Or, if both of you put in effort to adopt as many of these as often as possbille then you'd want to keep them close. I also share the previous image.
1. When they recognise that you are sharing your emotions not arguing
2. When they are committed to understanding you
3. Set you at ease about sharing your heart and mind
4. Acknowledge your views and contributions, step in (not withdraw), support you raising your views
5. Fond of, and long for your presence in their life
6. Open and willing to show empathy when you're vulnerable
7. Show enthusiasitic wholehearted participation in the give and take dance of reciprocity
9. Open to share, give, and receive love
10. Heal more than hurt you
11. Open to, accept, recognise the importance of (not minimising), support you in sharing
Here is a challenge. 🎯💚🚩
How many can you rewrite into gratitude and then thanking your person for any of them, or that you both can commit to in its rewritten form. I will update with my suggestions later in the week.
I saw the pictue on the web. But much of the web focuses on negative traits. So, ...
⭐ Think about what the both of you want and not what you don't want in the first instance✨ Sort of a green-flag 💚 list not a red-flag 🚩approach.
