The Relationship Challenge
The biggest challenge in any relationship is to know when it's worth it. You might be reluctant to risk a relationship because you've been burned before, or you might be in an unhappy relationship. You might be in an okay relationship but know it could be better, without knowing how to make that happen.
No relationship is perfect, so there are always good days and bad days. In a committed relationship, it's important to be willing to ride out the bad days - that's what commitment is about - but when is it time to call it quits? And what if your good days aren't actually happy? Why stay? Can it get better?
How can you know you would benefit from help? If you answer yes to any of the following, you can benefit from the tools of self-mastery:
-
You feel hurt, sad, frustrated or resentful because of your partner's behavior.
-
You're wary of a new relationship because of a past one.
-
You’re bored, or frustrated by the status quo and haven’t succeeded in making change.
-
You avoid certain topics to avoid conflict or tension.
-
You feel a past relationship is affecting your current one, or blocking your potential to have a relationship.
-
You feel more like a room mate than a lover.
-
You’re not sure what’s missing – you just thought there should be more.
-
You think about a past relationship with sadness, hurt, frustration, resentment, anger or despair.
-
You feel it could be better, but it's better than being alone.
-
You're lonely - whether you're in a relationship or not.
-
Your thoughts about yourself are sometimes critical or demeaning.
-
You feel unhappy, unworthy, or unlovable.
If any of this sounds like your truth, you have a huge potential to make things better. There are concrete tools that can help you make real, tangible improvements, and tools to help you know what needs to change.
