Healthy Relationships

The words healthy relationships brings up all sorts buzz words, about happiness, love, having the perfect mate.  If we delve a little further we can find ourselves thinking about family relationship and the relationships we have with our work colleagues.  The fact is our entire life is made up of a series of relationships.  Whether they are healthy, functional relationships is another topic altogether.  How do you fare in your relationships?  What about the relationship you have with yourself?  Chances are, if you are older, there is the likelihood that you have developed through your life experiences and appreciate for yourself, for a life lived through many highs and lows and are content with you are. 

When we are younger however there is often the striving for validation through our relationships, much learning from the relationships that have failed, whether a love relationship or the demise of a close relationship with a friend. The eBook "Suddenly Single" which as the title depicts is about finding oneself alone, no longer in a healthy relationship and coping with the loss, is a great little self-help book.  It gives us cause to reflect on how to become a more vibrant, healthy person in our own right, so as to attract friendships and relationships that serve and nourish us.

It is true, that in order to attract those types of relationships, there is work to do.  Mainly unpacking the baggage that has built up from past experiences.  In "Suddenly Single" there is a great analogy of cleaning up your emotional kitchen, which really helps the reader to understand the importance of looking at their own forms of communication, behaviours and thinking that keeps them stuck.  I am sure we have all realised (in hindsight)  we have taken 'baggage' and 'stories' from one relationship to another. 

As one reader said, "It is well presented wisdom, offering great ways to recycle the stuff of life. "

When any of us start something new, attempt to become different, desire to be more confident, become more real and resolve to let the past remain the past, life can often feel overwhelming.  However, it is also a time when we can forge ahead, becoming more real, more authentic, more genuine than we have ever known ourselves to be before.

  Life experiences are the stuff that enable us to become singularly superb!!
