Relationships

On this site I mainly discuss changing the relationship you have with yourself to a more loving one. Now let’s examine your other relationships.

If you find yourself experiencing “difficult” relationships either in your personal life, working/public life or both, then you have to know that this is down to you and what maybe going on subconsciously inside.

Think about it for a moment :

· do you have a recurrent problem e.g do you have problems with work colleagues or one person in particular making life difficult?

· Did you experience this in your last place of work as well?

· Think about your romantic relationships, why did the last one finish or come to an end? Have you experienced that before?

We all think that if we could just change the other person or get them to see our side then all would be well and we would live happily ever after. In actual fact it is us that need to make the changes.

We can dramatically improve, heal and resolve conflict by doing the necessary work on ourselves. Following workshops it is wonderful and amazing how many people tell me that problems seemed to have magically dissolved, that difficult or violent people have left their lives or that family rifts are healing.

Types of relationships (I am still in the process of building this page so more will be added soon):

Parents

I grew up in the 40's/50's/60's with practical parents. A mother, God love her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a Name for it... A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.

Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other. It was the time for fixing things. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress Things we keep.

It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, eating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more.

But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.

Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...never to return. So... While we have it.. it's best we love it... And care for it.... And fix it when it's broken..... And heal it when it's sick.

This is true... For marriage.... And old cars.... And children with bad report cards..... Dogs and cats with bad hips.... And aging parents.... And grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep. Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.

There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special.... And so, we keep them close!
