Dealing with the storms of life
THIS showed up on my calendar as I prepared for work today.
The sweetest reminder of many lessons learnt over the years.
Helping my clients work through relationship challenges and build a life on new foundations of healthy and intimate relationships is something I am passionate about.
🔗 Quite often, it is in relationships that we get deeply hurt but it is also in relationships that we heal
🔗 As we start recalibrating our lives, we can decide who to trust and release ourselves from the pressure of giving too much in relationships that hurt more than help
🔗 Create healthy boundaries - respect and care for ourselves and for others around us
🔗 Invest time and effort in relationships that bring joy, care and other positive emotions
🔗 Work towards building relationships in which giving is as delightful as taking
🔗 Aim for fair levels of reciprocity
🔗 Learn to value people who help us with personal growth and encourage authenticity; who can be brave enough to be honest with us and also retain a level of respect we all deserve
🔗 Be able to accept and give feedback - be willing to understand each other’s needs and change where required
🔗 Create a culture of mutual respect
🔗 Agree on and uphold some commitments and values that you don’t let each other down on
🔗 Remember that all of the above is possible only after you develop a healthy relationship with your own self.
👉🏼 Offer to yourself the same regard, compassion and respect you expect from others. Offer to others the same regard and respect you expect for yourself.
