With this new year 2021, it’s time to reflect and think about what you want for yourself and your relationship in the year ahead.
There’s something about the new year that gives everyone an energy and excitement to change. Use this enthusiasm and direct it to your relationship.
When you think of your relationship as brand new, you can easily bring back excitement for your relationship.
Do A Ritual To Let Go Of the Past
To really give yourself a fresh start in 2021, it’s important to let go of the negative thoughts and feelings that are holding you back from having the relationship that you want.
Make it a point to let go of hurt feelings and disagreements, and agree to start the year with a clean slate. Make a list of all the things you both want to leave behind and then burn it or rip it up into little pieces.
Learn Each Other’s Love Languages
The start of the new year is a good time to talk about your love languages, it is like how your partner expresses love. Is it through words or do they show it by doing acts of service? “It might sound cheesy, but it’s truly important to understand how you and your partner both like to receive love, so then you know the best way to give it.
Change Up Your Bedroom
To bring new positive energy into your relationship, the beginning of the new year is a good time to clean, rearrange, and redecorate your bedroom together.
Commit To Working On Issues As They Come
To bring new positive energy into your relationship, the beginning of the new year is a good time to clean, rearrange, and redecorate your bedroom together.
Make clear promises to yourself.
One of the fears people have is that if they forgive their partner this time, then maybe they will never stand up for themselves again. The big fear is actually not that their partner will take advantage of this; the big fear is that they can no longer trust themselves to set limits and enforce them.
Make a choice to start again.
Beginning again with a partner means making a clear choice to do so, to let the past rest, to take the risk of trusting again, and to love them more because you appreciate the work you have each put in to stay in relationship and you acknowledge the risk.
Will you ever have the starry-eyed “nothing will ever come between us” love again? No. Will you have the same relationship you had before? No.
But couples who give themselves a chance to restart find ways to value the depth of the relationship they have now. Ultimately, you unbreak your own heart by choosing to let it heal.
