Stress Management | Relationships

Life is all about relationships

Everything that we do revolves around our relationships with each other and ourselves. We want our relationships to be fun, playful, creative, sincere, honest, harmonious, balanced and fulfilling. At first our relationship skills are learnt from our parents, teachers or primary care-givers, either directly or by observation.

Our relationships with each other, especially personal or intimate relationships, are really powerful, it can feel like they ultimately determine our level of happiness. No wonder we can feel so vulnerable in relationships - if we perceive our happiness depends on them! Over the course of our life we will and do experience challenging relationships.

The fear of being hurt or rejected in romantic, friendship or Stress at work relations can often be paralysing to our sense of well-being. When we feel uncomfortable or threatened it's hard to accept we may well have placed a wall of protection around ourselves to avoid another painful episode in the great drama of our life!

All too often, and usually with sadness, we eventually come to the realisation that the wall that protects us from the pain also keeps us from true and lasting joy. When we experience love in our relationships we are enriched by vitality and isn't the world just great? Conversely if our relationships are cluttered with fear then our energy is zapped and, well, the world just isn't so great.
