A few of the things that were getting in the way of me having rich, meaningful relationships...
*Ridiculously high (read: unrealistic) expectations of others *Trying too hard to be perfect (so they didn't see my flaws) *Trying to stay "in control" *Being too hard on myself and others *Not allowing time for fun or joy (all work, all the time) *Not taking care of myself - physically, emotionally, or spiritually (which depleted my energy for others) *Living in a constant state of tension and stress *Living too much from my head and not enough from my heart *Believing I wasn't good at relationships Living in these patterns impacted my wellbeing, work, and personal relationships. I've been addressing these behavior patterns and integrating new practices, new beliefs, and new approaches. *I made my own wellbeing a top priority and made time for fun, play, and the people and activities I enjoy most *I made peace with my emotions and increased my emotional awareness *I did the work to release my need for perfection and control, and to check my expectations *I addressed the major sources of stress and overwhelm and integrated practices and techniques that helped me feel more calm *I learned to stand up for myself and to communicate more effectively about my needs *Shifting my beliefs about myself - learning that I AM good at relationships; acknowledging that I've made a lot of mistakes and misaligned choices, and that I've learned from them all. What #relationshipgoals have YOU set for yourself? Is it time for you to INVEST in yourself and your relationships? Is it time for new choices and different ACTIONS?
