Relationships are like plants. Rooted in the fertile soil of common interests, shared experiences and emotional connection, they grow over time, reaching sunward even when the weather brings either storms or drought.<\/p>\n

Many of us talk to our plants, coaxing them kindly and lovingly toward fruitfulness, lush growth and long life. What would it look like to treat our relationships\u2014friendships, professional colleagues, family relations and love partners alike\u2014with similar positive care and attention<\/a>? After all, some research shows<\/a> that talking to our plants actually helps them thrive and grow!<\/p>\n

These three aspects of positive psychology offer a foundation for tending to your garden of relationships:<\/p>\n

1) Practice Good Relationship Hygiene<\/strong><\/p>\n

The psychologists Suzann Pileggi Pawelski and James Pawelski write in their book Happy Together: Using the Science of Positive Psychology to Build Love that Lasts<\/em><\/a> that relationships need regular \u201cworkouts\u201d to thrive. As consistent watering, fertilizing and weeding make for a healthy garden, regular time together, clear communication and positive encouragement forge vibrant relationships. \u201cThe good news is that with time and practice, it gets easier because you\u2019re building your relational \u2018muscles,\u2019 which get stronger and more flexible over time,\u201d they said in an interview with Brides<\/em> magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2) Celebrate the Little Moments<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the garden, you might do a little jig over a pea harvest that yielded a bowlful more than you picked last year. Likewise in relationships, it\u2019s the small achievements, the little moments of joy and growth that are wonderful celebrating in each other. Miriam Kirmayer, a therapist and friendship researcher, recently told<\/a> the New York Times<\/em>, \u201cRemembering obviously big life events\u2014things like birthdays are a given\u2014but also maybe smaller things like: They had a doctor\u2019s appointment coming up or you know they were going to have a stressful day at work and kind of checking in to see how it went. Even a quick text message can go a long way.\u201d<\/p>\n

3) Focus on Each Other\u2019s Strengths<\/strong><\/p>\n

Positive thinkers are skilled at recognizing the best in others, rather than dwelling on those things our friends, family members, or partners struggle with. Honestly assessing someone\u2019s strengths\u2014and arranging your time together in a way that allows those strengths to shine\u2014makes for a mutually beneficial relationship. After all, you wouldn\u2019t plant a tropical garden in northern Maine and expect it to thrive. Why would you invite a friend who loves books and movies but hates the gym to join you in training for a marathon?<\/p>\n

How do you use positive thinking<\/a> to cultivate healthy, meaningful relationships?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
