Some relationships are like wilted plants. The leaves have dried up, but reviving the plant is still possible. What happens in long-term relationships is that the busyness of life gets in the way of us regularly watering it to keep it alive. And there are specific ways to do that. Tune in to this episode: Your Relationship as a Plant Key points covered in this episode: \u2714\ufe0f Some relationships need repotting. It may need a larger community around it, whether that\u2019s opening it up or spending more time with friends and family. \u2714\ufe0f Appreciation is the most nutritive water for dry soil. Acknowledge good things you and your partner are doing. This can help you escape from a pattern of criticism. \u2714\ufe0f Journal what your relationship looks like. Imagine it as a plant and ask yourself: Are the leaves wilted? Are there habits that need to be pruned? Is the pot too small for you and your partner? \u2714\ufe0f Don\u2019t leave without trying. Give watering a try. You might end up with an even more loving and close relationship than what you had before. \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u2605\u2605\u2605 About Marie-Elizabeth Mali \u2605\u2605\u2605 Marie-Elizabeth is the founder of Relationship Alchemy, where she helps women leaders create loving and nourishing intimate relationships that support their work in the world. \u2605 TAKE THE RELATIONSHIP ALCHEMY ASSESSMENT \u2605 The relationship you desire is possible!
