How To Prevent Insecurity In Your Relationship?

1. Try To Boost Your Self-Esteem With Meditation

Research shows that people with more relationship insecurities possess a lower self-esteem.

It’s human nature to seek external validation when we’re insecure. While this may be okay with friends and loved ones, it may be a bit disconcerting for your partner under certain conditions.

Building up self-esteem, while regularly viewed as very difficult, isn’t actually all that hard.

Make it a habit to practice mindfulness meditation. Even 10 to 15 minutes of (deliberate) daily meditative practice will help quiet your inner critic, bring forth self-compassion, and – perhaps most importantly – instill a much-needed sense of acceptance.

2. Be Sincere With Your Partner

Once you’ve figured out what you personal insecurity is, it’s time to have a conversation with your partner. Too often in relationships, repressed feelings manifest into superfluous arguing and bickering.

Remember the epic scene in Jerry Maguire when Tom Cruise’s character repeatedly pleads with Cuba Gooding, Jr’s? “Help me, help you!!”

Those four words have been repeated many times since that movie came out, and are indeed applicable in this situation.

It isn’t fair to keep your partner in the dark. And if you’re worried about being rejected or looking down upon, do it anyways. If your partner acts unsupportive or judgmental in any way, the relationship may not be worth it.

3. Fix What’s Broken

Waiting for when you “feel like” doing something is never a good idea. No matter if this “something” is losing weight, quitting smoking, overcoming shyness, studying harder, whatever, procrastination always follows a Bell Curve (an upside-down ‘U’).

Let’s say ‘discomfort’ is on the Y-axis (vertical) and ‘time’ on the X-axis. As time moves on, the slope of the Bell curve sharply elevates along the Y-axis. After an action is taken – say at the midway point of the Curve – discomfort drops precipitously.

In short, take action, maintain momentum, and you’ll feel relieved.
