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.

What I've learned from my horses is that all living creatures instinctively move toward what feels good
and away from what doesn't. If your energy is calm or if you bring treats, most horses will let you
approach them. If you're tense, forceful, or unpredictable, they move away. People work in a similar way.

Researcher Harry Harlow did a famous experiment where baby monkeys, who were separated from their
mothers, were given two choices: a soft, cloth 'mother' that provided no food, or a wire 'mother' that
dispensed milk. The babies consistently chose comfort over sustenance, clinging to the soft mother even
when they were hungry. This shows something profound: living creatures crave safety and comfort, and
without it, we don’t truly thrive.

So how do you become that source of emotional comfort for the people in your life?

1. Be mindful of your energy. Ask yourself: Am I inviting connection or creating distance? Am I being
supportive or am I being critical? Relationships flourish in warmth, not pressure.

2. Match your message. Horses read energy, more so than words. People do, too. If your tone or body
language doesn't match your message, the other person will trust what they feel over what you say. Be
congruent.

3. Be willing to wait. When you approach someone matters as much as how you approach them. If
someone is already stressed or overwhelmed, adding pressure makes things worse. Learn to read the
moment—sometimes the most loving thing you can do is wait for a better time to have that conversation.

Remember, being kind, clear, and calm isn't weakness—it's influence.

So, notice where you are creating comfort in your relationships. And where might you be accidentally
creating discomfort? If you want to have exceptional relationships, start by becoming someone who feels
good to be around.

If you want a step-by-step program that teaches you how to become a person others naturally feel safe
and drawn to, you’ll find it at NaturalRelationships.com.

Some people seem naturally good at connection. They stay calm, communicate clearly, and handle conflict with ease. But most of that isn’t natural — it’s learned.
Whether you’re raising a child, leading a team, or deepening a romantic relationship, the skills that build trust and emotional safety can be learned and practiced. Research from Harvard shows that emotional intelligence (EQ) is a stronger predictor of long-term success than IQ — and EQ can grow. Empathy, boundaries, repair, and emotional regulation aren’t traits you’re born with. They’re skills anyone can develop with intention.
Relationships are also systems. A shift in one part can influence the whole. Most people wait for the other person to go first — to listen, to apologize, to change. But often, the breakthrough comes when you shift your part: your tone, your timing, your presence.
This isn’t about blame or doing all the work. It’s about personal leadership — showing up in a way that invites safety and trust. Even a small change can interrupt old patterns and open the door for something new.

You can’t make someone trust you—but you can be trustworthy. That means being consistent, clear, and aligned in what you say and do.
No matter how many times you explain, apologize, or promise, trust doesn’t rebuild because you want it to. It rebuilds when someone experiences you differently—over time.
That’s something I’ve learned from horses. I don’t trust a horse just because I want to. I trust them because, over time, they’ve shown me how they respond, what spooks them, and where their limits are. They’re honest. That repetition builds confidence. People aren’t so different.
If you’ve lost someone’s trust—or someone is slow to trust you—that’s okay. Start with small, steady actions that match your words. Own what happened, not to force forgiveness, but to show understanding. Then keep showing up—patiently and without pressure.
Trust isn’t built in a single moment. It’s built through many small, consistent moments, repeated over and over again.

It’s easy to get swept up in promises, apologies, or explanations.
Words can be polished but actions reveal what a person is truly committed to.
If someone keeps breaking boundaries, shifting blame, or showing up with disregard — believe that. Not their excuses. Not your hopes. Not the version of them you wish were true.
You don’t need to overanalyze, second-guess, or keep giving the benefit of the doubt when the pattern is clear.
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do — for yourself and for them — is to stop rewriting their story, their intentions, or their future… and start trusting your own eyes.
Have you ever struggled to believe what someone’s actions were clearly telling you?
What helped you finally stop explaining things away? Your experience might give someone else permission to do the same.

Just because you think it — doesn’t make it true.
It sounds obvious, but it’s one of the most common traps in relationships.
Our thoughts feel convincing because they come with emotion. When we feel anxious, we likely think something’s wrong. When we feel hurt, we likely think someone meant to hurt us. But feelings are signals — not proof. They tell us something needs our attention, not that our interpretation is always correct.
It’s easy to mistake thoughts or feelings for facts. “He ignored me.” “She’s mad at me.” “They don’t care.” But those aren’t facts — that’s our brain trying to make meaning when we don’t actually know what something means.

The human brain hates uncertainty, so it fills in the gaps with stories that match our fears, insecurities, or past experiences. That’s where projection and assumption sneak in — we assign our own emotions to someone else and react as if our story is the truth.
In relationships, those assumptions can do real damage. They turn imagination into accusation, and create distance where connection could have been built. What started as a guess quickly becomes a grievance — and no one wins.
The key is to slow down and check things out. Instead of assuming, ASK. Instead of declaring, wonder. Try saying, “I’m having the thought that you’re upset — is that true?” That single phrase can save a thousand misunderstandings.
The truth is, your thoughts are real, but they’re not always right. Learn how to separate perception from truth — and build relationships on clarity, not assumption — at NaturalRelationships.com.

Have you ever had someone send mixed messages? Warm one moment, distant the next?
Their words sound kind, but their tone or body language tells a different story. It can leave you
feeling anxious and unsure of where you stand.

Humans often try to mask uncomfortable feelings—covering irritation with a smile or hiding
stress behind politeness. But horses taught me how to see the truth. Horses are honest in their
body language. Confusion, fear, or softness shows up right away, and you can’t miss the huge
signs they send. With horses, I learned that mixed signals don’t create trust—but clarity does.

Bill Dorrance said that consistency—not perfection—is what helps a horse feel secure. The
same is true for people. Being particular without kindness can feel harsh. Kindness without
clarity can feel confusing. But when you pair the two—clear expectations delivered with steady
kindness—you create the safety people actually appreciate and trust.

If you want to learn how to bring this kind of clarity and steadiness into your human
relationships, my program at NaturalRelationships.com will show you how.

If you believe conflict means something’s wrong, you may feel bad if it happens.
If you believe love should be easy, you may feel discouraged when things get tough.
If you believe people can’t change, you might stop trying — or stop showing up as someone who could influence change.
Beliefs shape perception. And perception shapes behavior.
Research shows that your brain is wired to notice what it expects to see.
Your reticular activation system filters your attention — reinforcing your beliefs.
If you believe someone doesn’t care, you’ll notice the moments they seem distant and miss the moments they try.
But if you believe change is possible, your brain starts spotting opportunities to connect and repair.
Healthy relationships aren’t about being lucky — they’re about learning healthy tools.
And that begins with what you believe is possible.
What’s one belief you’ve held about relationships… that you might be ready to question?

When relationships feel strained, it’s tempting to rehash everything that went wrong. You think if you explain it all, it will lead to repair—but too often, it just creates more tension. The other person feels blamed or pressured, defenses go up, and instead of moving forward, you’re both stuck.
I’ve made that mistake, too—talking in circles until everyone feels worse than before. But repair doesn’t always require revisiting every detail. In fact, it usually works better when you focus on the present and future.
Working with horses taught me this. They remember what happened—if you were sharp or unclear yesterday, they’ll notice—but they don’t hold grudges. Every moment is a new opportunity. Show up today with calm energy and clear intent, and they’ll give you another chance. No drama. No lectures. Just a fresh start.
People may take longer, but they respond to the same things: safety, consistency, and kindness.
Start with now. Say, “I want things to feel good between us. From now on, could we…?” Let your actions speak louder than explanations. Be steady. Be honest. Do the next right thing.
You can’t fix the past—but you can change the pattern going forward.

Sarcasm. Silence. Snapping out of nowhere.
Sometimes it feels like you need a translator just to have a conversation.
But those reactions? They’re signals that someone needs something.
Most of the time, people don’t want to be difficult — they want to be understood.
They need reassurance, respect, space, or support.
They may not know how to ask for it directly.
You don’t have to tiptoe, analyze, or play emotional detective. And it’s a bad idea to make assumptions and make things up. Instead, you can interrupt the pattern with one simple move: ask.
“I want to understand. What do you need right now?”
It’s amazing how quickly things can shift when someone feels safe enough to tell you.
Directness invites clarity.
Clarity invites connection.
When have you remembered to ask — and been pleasantly surprised by what came out?
Your story might remind someone else that it’s okay to stop guessing and start asking.
