#6 of 7 Powerful Habits for Happy Relationships from Positivity blogger



"6. Have human standards.
I often mention that one of the best ways to stop being a perfectionist and to be happier is to set human standards yourself. Instead of inhuman standards that no-one can live up to really.
This is a good tip for finding more happiness with other people too.
Having perfectionistic standards for your partner, friend or co-worker can lead to a lot of conflicts that could have been prevented. It can even over time lead to the end of a relationship.
People will stumble and make mistakes. They will not always have a good day or perform at their absolute best. They will have flaws.
Sure, some things may need to change in the other person for you to keep being in the relationship. And some missteps could of course lead to the end of the two of you.
But many things that are smaller than that and that can cause irritation or arguments pretty much every week can be greatly reduced with everyone in your life simply by having human standards both for yourself and for others.
And over time, it can make a big difference in how relaxed, open and happy a relationship can be."
