Relationship Real Estate
Healthy relationships in our life are the power that gives us purpose.
January is the month in our culture that seems to be a time of reflection for where we were last year, and where we are headed in this year. I am spending some time in January reflecting poignant lessons from the movie “Collateral Beauty,” where Will Smith speaks intensely about, and seeks answers from the universe about love, time and death.
The messages this film brings to light are that we all yearn for love, we all decide how to spend our time and we often fear death. As we look to the time given to us in the upcoming year, I would like to share some lessons that I have learned about the most important aspect of my life: Relationships.
Healthy relationships in our life are the power that gives us purpose and I believe relationships deserve our nurturing love and our commitment. Wisdom tells us that the relationship we have with ourselves should be our first priority.
As you consider the health of your relationships, here are a few important principles to consider:
- Care for yourself in loving ways. Decide to create a self-care plan and schedule time on your calendar for you – make a date with yourself! Make this as high a priority as you would for other important scheduled event in your life. If you struggle with ideas to incorporate into your self-care plan perhaps brainstorm ideas with a close friend!
- Take time to contemplate if there is anyone you need to forgive? It has been said that holding on to resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. Forgiving means letting go and not allowing the pain to live in your body any longer. This is a decision for the purpose of self-love.
- Relationships are similar to real estate, for in real estate they say it is about location-location-location and in life it is about relationships- relationships relationships and in relationships it is about timing-timing- timing! Whether you are communicating or resolving conflict your timing is vitally important. If you choose a time to talk with someone in your life while you are both angry the exchange will not be as successful as if you waited to first breath and think wisely about what you want to say. Even more important is being crystal clear about what you want to make sure you do not say. Or Perhaps you have a sensitive topic to discuss with someone, choosing the time when they can really hear you is essential to healthy relationships. Sometimes in eagerness we choose to rush into conversations or announcements without considering what our impact will be. So choose your timing wisely.
- Every day focus on your strengths and the strengths of others, and not the weaknesses, and remind yourself that this is a moment-to-moment choice.
Relationships matter more than anything else so protect and cherish them,
each moment of your life
