Learning to recognize and manage stress, to stay calm and focused, provides many relationship benefits. These include the ability to Focus internally – focusing attention on your internal state in spite of external demands. Create mind/body untiy – integrating commnuication so that your words and non-verbal communication convey the same message. Bright eyes, a relaxed face, and a clam tone- these communicate what you cannot when you are agitated, withdrawn or zone-out. Recognize appropriate behaviours in your relationships – feeling “just right” and stable help you avoid negative knee-jerk behaviours. Maintaining internal balance helps you stay focused even when the other person becomes angry.
