#AceyourRQ !!

All of us are aware of IQ & EQ. But did you know, there is something called as RQ, which stands for Relationship Quotient. We are all aware that the kind of equation or relationship we share with the closest of people in our lives, highly affects our mental, emotional and even functional state of mind. Which in turn influences the way we experience happiness and joy!

Overall as individuals, we have 5 Relationship Circles that we are all a part of. These can be roughly divided as our Families, our Friends, our Associates & Coworkers, the Communities we are a part of and the Society that we live in.

Majority of our relationships fall under these umbrella Circles. Now if we are looking at having more fulfilling lives, actively working on these relationships will certainly elevate the quality of our lives!

Here is how you can work to #AceyourRQ!!

• Time & Appropriate Prioritising
It is inevitable that we would be interacting with All the people who fall into these Relationship Circles of ours, on a regular basis. It then becomes necessary to be aware that we are consciously prioritising the circles depending upon the circumstances around us or the situations in our lives. Sometimes, it is necessary to focus on Family; while at other times, your Co-Workers may need your attention.

• Use Words to Communicate
A lot of times, we tend to take our closest people for granted. It may be our Friends, Family or even the people from our Community who go out of their way to accommodate us. A small word of Gratitude shows that you are aware of the efforts they are taking, and that you appreciate them for making your life easier or better. Share these thoughts of yours with them. Although they know you care, it is always nice when it is said out loud!

• Have FUN!
Maintaining relationships doesn’t need to feel like a mandatory task! We may have come together with people due to circumstances or situations. But making that relationship Happy, is entirely in our hands! Be respectful of course, but try to connect with the person who is inside the Role that you are associated with. There is so much to learn from each other; so much beauty around us to enjoy. Focus on that!

So, I would like the conclude by sharing this wonderful quote, The best thing to spend on your relationship is Time, Conversation, Understanding and Honesty!!

Do let us know if you agree with what we shared. If you have a different view, you are most welcome to share. It would certainly be nice to understand a different perspective too!!
