How To Improve Relationships Through Personal Development
Posted by pintpuller in Personal development on September 27, 2009
Exploring and improving the dynamics of Relationships is a lifelong process. In fact, I have learned that the quality of our relationships has a direct impact on nine areas in our life that are entertwined daily. A broken area can cause disruption in the remaining areas thus casusing an imbalance which effects our personal prelationships. That is why I have dedicated my life to relationship development for all ages. Although The Wheel is one aspect of this site, it is, nevertheless, an important one. By understanding how balanced, or, out-of-balanced your life is, then you can start to seek emotional wellness and balance..
These areas include:
Family | Friends | Work | Education | Recreation | Personal Growth | Spirituality | Financial | Health
Family – Every personal has a family. Some are functional and others are dysfunctional. There is one thing for sure, we learn from those around us and as a result, we have taken many of the learned behaviors into our relationships outside of our family. Are you satisified with your sibling relationships? Are there areas of improvement? What are the results that you seek to have a better relationship with family members? Goal setting is an important part to developing a plan to improve relationships
Friends – Are you satifisfied with the quality of friendships that you have? It is not uncommon to have friends earlier in life that keep you from obtaing your goals due to peer pressure. Brainstorm on extra activities you would like to do and get involved with those groups. That is a wonderful way to meet new people and help foster your interests. Examples include, dance classes, art classes, etc. Whatever you are interested in, I can guarantee that there is a group to be involved with. For smaller towns, you may have to start your own group/club. That will help develop yoour leadership skills.
Work – With the miracle of the internet, you can now learn all new skills to help improve your work performance. You may decide to go to school and learn a different skillset. It really does not take that much time and the results can mean an extra $20K per year.
Recreation – Having a basic exercise program that you follow is essential in your mental health. Watching TV does not help you stay in shape. In a country where obesity is considered an epidemic, there really is no excuse to not take a 30-minute walk every night. The begining is always the most frustrating. Howver, setting goals, and doing simple “baby-steps” can bring an enormous amount of endorphins that will help you psychologically.
Personal Growth – Have you heard the term “garbage in – garbage out”? I am sure you have. What we put into our minds has an effect on everything you do whether sub-consciously or consciously. I have always found that reading non-fiction is a great way to develop yourself into a well-rounded intellect.
Spirituality – Everyone has a personal journey they must go through. However, I have always encouraged people to challenge their belief systems. That is where your wsidom begins. Why do you believe what you believe? Where can you find concrete proof that what you believe is true? Have you been spoon-fed your belief system and/or are you grounded in faith? Everyone must answer to something greater than themselves.
Financial – Are you satisfied with your financial condition? If your like 99% of the workforce, your not. How can you improve this area in your life? Have you always wanted to start your own business? Are you interested in doing internet marketing? Today it is much easier to make extra income through the internet that it was 20 years ago. With the economy the way it is and the possibility of being laid-off, now is the best time to start your own business. Again, goal setting and developing a game plan to execute that plan is the key financial freedom.
Health – Exercise and health seem to go hand in hand. However, going to a fast food restaurant and ordering a meal supersized is not offset with the “diet” coke. Eating healthy is essential for good mental and physical conditioning. Lots of fruits and vegetables will health lose weight and crerate a positive energy in your life. In your backyard, plant a veggie garden and enjoy the fruits of yoru labor.
When you are balanced in this wheel you have success in your life. positive energy will naturally flow from you to others and people are attracted to happiness. It is my challenge to you to follow your dreams and the people around you will notice.
Relationship Life Cycle is decicated to helping you achieve stronger relationships no matter where you are in the Relationship Life Cycle. Knowledge is the key to success. We provide knowledge, information, and results, but its up to you to take action! When you think about your relationships, are you satisified? Would you like to have a stronger relationship with your parents? marriage? siblings? find better quality friendships? gain confidence in dating? or finding happiness? Many relationships move through the Life Cycle only to fail becasue we have not learned from previous mistakes and/or managed our expectations which includes knowing ourselves and what we like and dont like.
Failure to communicate and listen is the main problem we have and as a result, we get hurt, isolate from each other, and seek to find someone else, yet only to be dissapointed in the fallibility of being human. No one is perfect! The challenge within our relationships is a journey that includes lifes ups and downs, peaks and valleys. Our task is to explore and seek that perection together, knowing that we cannot do this jouney alone. One cannot climb a mountain without the tools necessary to reach the top.
