While navigating relationships as adults, we need to remember that we always have a lot more power than we think we have.
When having problems with our partners, it might feel as if the issues will never change or as if there's nothing we can do to help or change the other person. This is normal, however, there are two huge things we can do about this that can help greatly.
First, we need to keep communicating clearly and repeatedly regarding what we truly want and need - even if it feels "pointless" sometimes.
Second, we need to keep coming back to the amazing power that we all have as adults: Our power to choose.
Yes, we can't directly change or control our partners, but, we can directly change and control how we choose to respond to them.
Remembering this crucial fact of adult life will keep you empowered and liberated in all your relationships.
