Faith Deeter Get All Your Relationships Right

Master all of your relationships. What are natural principles? Natural principles come from nature and have been a part of our makeup from the beginning of time.

No matter what type of relationship you’re in, whether it’s parent/child, romantic, or work-related, your relationship is governed by natural principles because, YOU are governed by natural principles and so is everyone else. Similar to instincts, these principles tend to govern the way human beings behave. They are underlying factors as to why we feel happy, fulfilled, anxious, or lonely. By unde

rstanding what is natural for a person, you can work in harmony with them. When we don’t understand what is natural, we are more likely to make mistakes. For almost twenty years, people have been coming to me when they need help. They come when their spouse is leaving them, when their kids won’t listen, or when they are unhappy in their life and need a change. The way I help every person is unique to their situation, but the paradigm I use is always the same. I use Natural Principles. It is my hope that by sharing these principles with you, you will have a road map that can keep your relationships strong as well as guide you in knowing what to adjust when you run into trouble.

Have you noticed how much more people learn from what you do than what you say? If you
stay silent when something bothers you, they may think that you’re ok. If you roll your eyes,
sigh, or use sarcasm, they pick up on that, too. Every reaction teaches something—whether we
intend it to or not.

In horsemanship, the saying goes: “You’re always training something.” Even when you’re not
giving a direct cue, a horse is reading your body, your breathing, your energy. People do the
same instinctively. Your presence—or your absence—is always communicating.

In relationships, this means your tone, timing, and attitude matter just as much as your words.
If you want to bring more awareness and intention to the energy you bring into your human
relationships, my program at NaturalRelationships.com will show you how.

Apologies matter. They really do.
But words alone don’t rebuild trust.
Change does.
You can say “I’m sorry” with complete sincerity — and still leave the other person unsure if it will happen again.
Because what they’re really wondering is:
“Will this be different next time?”
It’s not just about the moment.
It’s about the pattern.
In healthy relationships, repair doesn’t end with words — it continues through action:
– Showing you understand the impact.
– Taking steps to avoid repeating the harm.
– Following through, even when no one is watching.
Research from the Gottman Institute confirms that trust is built through reliable behavior over time — not grand apologies, but small, consistent changes.
So by all means, say you’re sorry.
But then let your next few dozen actions do the rest of the talking.
What’s one habit you could shift — to show someone you really meant what you said?

When someone doesn’t see your value, it’s tempting to work harder to prove it. But the more you chase validation, the smaller you may find you feel.
Seeking approval from people who can’t or won’t see you keeps you tied to their perception. What’s the saying, “Opinions are like belly buttons? Everybody has one?” You become an actor in your perception of someone else’s story instead of the author of your own life.
The need for validation is human—it comes from the instinct to belong. But belonging built on performance isn't a real connection. It’s anxiety.
Try shifting the question from “Do they value me?” to “Do I value myself ?” That single change puts you back in charge of your worth.
People who truly value you don’t need convincing. They respond naturally to authenticity, not effort.
Start noticing where you contort yourself for approval. That’s the place to begin reclaiming your power and just being yourself.

Blame feels good for a moment. It gives you a target, a story, a sense of power. But it doesn’t fix anything — and it rarely creates change.
Asking, “What’s my part in this?” isn’t about taking all the responsibility. It’s about owning the piece you can influence. When you do that, you stop waiting for someone else to change first — and start shifting the dynamic from the inside out.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about agency. Your ability to influence a pattern grows the moment you’re willing to own your role in it.
Have you ever changed how you responded — and watched the entire situation improve because of it?

If you truly love someone, it’s unconditional — right?
That sounds noble… until you try to live it.
The truth is, adult relationships need standards. We already use standards everywhere: like knowing how old food is before we’ll eat it, where wearing a swimsuit is appropriate (and where it isn’t), and how we allow people to speak to us.
When you love someone deeply, part of that love is having standards for how you’re treated. The love — the emotion — can be unconditional, like a parent who loves a child no matter what. But the relationship has standards in order to thrive. That’s not harsh; that’s healthy.
Love without standards is enabling.

Respect, honesty, safety, and accountability aren’t negotiable; they’re the framework that lets love thrive. When those are broken, the feeling of love might remain, but how you interact — or whether you interact — should change.
Even in nature, everything has conditions. Plants need light. Animals need food. People need companionship and safety. Without the right environment, love can’t survive — no matter how sincere it feels.
So the truth is, the feeling of love may be unconditional, but relationships are not — and that’s what keeps them strong.

Have you ever rushed through a conversation just to “get it over with,” only to find the issue
pops back up again later—sometimes worse? Shortcuts in relationships often cost more time in
the long run.

Bill Dorrance used to say, “Take the time it takes, so it takes less time.” In horsemanship,
hurrying a horse only creates stress and confusion. But when you slow down and give the
process the time it truly needs, progress actually comes faster and lasts longer.

It’s the same with people. Pushing for quick fixes—forcing apologies, demanding immediate
change, or rushing emotions—rarely works. Taking the time to listen, to reflect, and to let trust
build creates solutions that actually last.

If you want to learn how to slow down in the right ways—so your human relationships grow
stronger instead of feeling stuck—you’ll find step-by-step tools at NaturalRelationships.com.

You’ve probably heard of love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and gifts.
They’re important — no doubt. But there’s something even more foundational that often gets overlooked:
Your nervous system has a language too.
It notices tone before words.
It registers tension before content.
It responds to eye contact, pacing, pauses, and presence.
You might be doing all the “right” things — but if your voice is sharp, your posture is tense, or you’re rushing the conversation, the other person’s nervous system might still read you as unsafe.
That’s why some conversations go sideways even when the intentions are good. The nervous system isn’t listening for logic — it’s scanning for threat.
This doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. But it does mean that how you say something often matters more than what you say.
Want to create more connection in your relationship? Learn to speak the nervous system’s language:
Slow down.
Soften your voice.
Offer safety through your tone and energy — not just your words.
Because before someone can truly connect… they have to feel safe.
What’s one small shift in your delivery that might help someone feel more safe around you?

Do you ever replay conversations in your head, analyzing every word you said or didn’t say? Overthinking keeps your mind busy but your heart disconnected. It’s a habit rooted in fear—the fear of rejection, judgment, or being misunderstood.
But here’s the truth: most people aren’t judging you nearly as much as you think. They’re thinking about their own words, their own life, and their own worries.
Overthinking is really an attempt to control how others see you. The problem is, you can’t. You can only control your intention and your energy.
When you catch yourself spiraling, pause and ask: Am I trying to connect—or to control? Then remind yourself that your presence matters more than your performance.
Horses teach this beautifully. They don’t overanalyze—they respond to how you treat them, not what you say. When your energy is calm and genuine, things tend to go smoothly.
Reflection is healthy. Rumination is not. Learn from the past, then return to the moment you’re in—it’s the only place real connection lives.

You may not remember every detail of a past experience, but your nervous system does. It remembers the tension in your shoulders when someone raised their voice. The way you froze when you felt unsafe. The way your breath got shallow, when you felt misjudged by someone.
That’s not weakness — it’s your nervous system doing its job. It’s trying to protect you. But sometimes, the protection is based on a threat that isn’t there anymore.
Rebuilding trust — with yourself, with others, with life — takes time. It’s okay to go slowly. It’s okay to pause. The key isn’t to override the signal but to learn to read it. Is this your nervousness is telling you something important or is this an old pattern that no longer fits your current life?
You don’t have to get it perfect. Just learn to listen. Then adjust. Soothe yourself when it’s safe, act accordingly when it’s not.
Have you ever noticed your nervous system reacting — and later realized it was responding to an old memory that didn’t match the situation you were actually in?

Wouldn’t it be nice if relationships were 50/50?
Whatever you give comes right back to you in equal measure — neat, predictable, even-Steven. Great for math equations… terrible for real life.
People don’t work like that. Relationships aren’t business deals; they’re living systems. One person’s up while the other’s down. One’s strong where the other’s weak. Sometimes both people are down at the same time. The balance isn’t in keeping things even — it’s in caring for each other through the roller coaster of life.
There will be days when you’re doing 80 and they’re doing 20, and vice versa. That’s not failure — that’s teamwork. It’s not about splitting the effort; it’s about sharing the load.
So don’t try measure love with a calculator. Measure it in moments of kindness, patience, and grace. Some days you’ll lead. Some days you’ll lean. The goal isn’t equality — it’s connection.
The truth is, healthy relationships are two imperfect people doing their best in the moment that they’re in — and choosing to keep showing up.
