Building Relationships
As active or passive members of society, we are subjected to numerous and diverse stimuli that shape our personalities, without us even realizing it. Many individuals, despite having a strong educational background, often struggle to come to terms with their own flaws and inadequacies when they begin to participate in personal relationships. The truth is that the routines and patterns of thought that have been encouraged and ingrained into us do not always leave much room for self- discovery and improvement. These naturally permeate into the relationships we share with our loved ones, causing them to become emotionally strained or unstable.
The Importance of Self-Acceptance
People struggle to find the time in their busy schedules to take a breather and reflect on whether they are growing as individuals, or stagnating. The demands of society are so extensive that it becomes extraordinarily difficult for individuals to look at themselves through an honest lens, and accept that they have limitations that need to be addressed. Nowadays, there is a tendency to immediately victimize oneself when faced with adversity or distress. These thought patterns affect all spheres of our lives, but are most damaging when we engage in personal relationships.
The road to self-discovery does not come without its own obstacles. It is never easy to admit your inadequacies and insecurities to yourself, but that is indeed the first step towards harmonizing yourself with your environment. People who experience strained or hollow relationships with their spouses or partners are unable to derive any sort of self-fulfilment, and consequently retreat into their shells, choosing instead to alienate their loved ones. The truth is that change comes from within, and begins with self-acceptance. Confronting harsh truths about yourself is the first step towards effecting change in the relationships that you have with the people around you.
The Warming Tree: Life Management Coaching
Effecting genuine change in yourself is one of the greatest challenges, but who says you have to do it alone? Every personal relationship is founded on principle values. However, it is important to understand that these values are not static, but must in fact evolve over the course of a relationship. Accepting accountability in your relationship is always the first step towards improving it. Relationships become meaningless if neither party is willing to be vulnerable. Every personal relationship comes with a degree of risk. The first thing one must understand is that trying to control a relationship will immediately diminish the spark that originally existed.
