The power of our relationships determines how powerfully we live our own lives. Life outcomes depend on our relationship with ourselves and others. It is important that we are willing to look at how we treat ourselves and how that affects our life and those around us.
How we show up in relation to ourselves determines how we are with people in our lives. If we are hard on ourselves, self-judging and unforgiving no matter what, we are also hard on others. We will be judging and unforgiving. By being good to ourselves, we create powerful pathways to an incredible life and magnificent partnerships.
The most powerful relationship is the one we have with ourselves. How we treat ourselves in terms of self-respect, self-discipline, self-esteem, and where our self-confidence level is will determine the foundation of all our relationships.
This month take some time to enhance your relationships.
- Ask yourself: “What can I do to be more loving towards myself? What habits can I let go of? What new practices can I put in place? Then take action. Start with a baby step.
- Ask several close friends what they would like you to do to deepen your relationship with them. Then commit to doing those things.
- Become aware of your self-talk for a day. Make a list all the things you say that put yourself down. Practice saying something opposite and positive.
