Trust takes time and we don’t always have a lot of patience for that. So make sure you allow yourself and your partner some patience and grace
Knowing what it is important to you and why, will get you farther in a relationship, because you won’t be projecting your issues onto your partner. And if you do, you will recognize it.
When we take the time to work through some of our issues in an honest way and discover ourselves and what we like and what we value, that’s the trust we need with ourselves.
We have to trust that we are informed and coming from a place of, oh I know what triggers me, I know why, and I know how to handle it. I’m not going to project it onto my partner if I'm triggered.
The #1 key to building trust, is we must know ourselves first as best we can. And if we don’t, we are most likely going to project our trust issues onto our partner.
You can sit down and have a conversation and say okay, how are we going to negotiate differences and that's a good start, but if you come to that party with a whole bunch of issues, that’s all you got. And usually we don’t see the issues because it’s all we know.
We project our own insecurities onto our partners. We think they are doing something to us. When it's really our own stuff going on. And we are the only ones who can do anything about that.
It always comes back to self and it always begins within.
