Express values and appreciation together · S14.3

Express a relationship value through one action

You want a value such as reliability or care to be visible in a relationship.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a value and ask what concrete behavior would express it in this situation.
2. Check that the behavior is wanted and feasible for both people where agreement is needed.
3. Try the action and review its actual effect.

An example

For reliability, we agree to send a message when a shared plan changes.

Reflect

Did the action communicate what you intended?

Next time

Keep or adjust it by agreement rather than a daily quota.
