How can you tell if your relationships at work, at home, in your social environment are healthy – for you? For others?
One basic way is to examine how you feel before and after spending time with someone most often.
* Anger / frustration
* Anxious / nervous
* Quiet / withdrawn
* Insecure / guilty
* Fear / triggered
Any of these may indicate an unhealthy connection. How the relationship is defined is irrelevant.
* Buoyant / excited
* Joy / fulfillment
* Empowered / free
* Honored / respected
* Cherished / safe
These feelings are the markers of healthy connections and ALL of them are the descriptors of your relationships for it to be healthy – not just some of them.
The wonderful thing about relationships – we choose them. On purpose…or on accident (by default).
How do you know if you’re choosing by default or on purpose?
A key tell: repeated or ongoing struggles with relationships.
Even if the people change, the situations or outcomes don’t. Same problems, different face; or maybe it’s the same problems, same face and those problems just keep resurfacing.
