LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS

It seems long term relationships are far and few between. 

Long Term Relationships

During the course of a committed relationship, marriage or otherwise, there will be challenges.  The newness of a relationship only lasts so long and then wears off. The excitement begins to settle, and then the true “getting to know each other” actually begins. We become more comfortable in the relationship and our deeper personality traits now surface. This can be unsettling in some cases, and we can let little insignificant or large surprising traits irritate us.

We learn to adapt and accept our differences, or we can challenge and stress over these differences to the point that they may be deal breakers.

Some individuals will learn to adapt and are willing to make changes to themselves, while others may refuse to make any changes as they feel they should not have to change for someone else. 

In relationships, we cannot expect someone to change to suit us. We can only make changes ourselves, either in character, circumstance or attitude.

This can be where some relationships crumble while others gain momentum. At this point, due to acceptance some relationships actually become stronger as love, hard work and acceptance are the backbone of a relationship. There will always be times when the relationship experiences difficulties. The outside world influences everything it touches but if we recognize that the source of irritation is from outside the relationship, the bond can deepen.

For those individuals currently going through one of these phases, recognize that in most cases, a slight change of attitude can make a world of difference.  Acceptance, compassion and support for one another is essential. Most irritants are temporary. Remind yourself to review the circumstances and look at the influence of the events around you.  Illness, family, world situations, finances, worry, fear, anxiety and attitude must be taken into consideration.  These can have profound consequences on relationships. 

After reviewing outside circumstances, you likely will come to realize that your relationship is good but other parts of life may need some adjustments.

For those that are experiencing difficulties in their relationship and have been for some time, be sure to have clear communication. Seek counselling as a professional can offer advice that you may not have thought about. 

Long term relationships take hard work, perseverance, love and compassion. Do not let the stress of outside influences affect your relationships. Do the work needed. Your well-being and the well-being of your relationship is worth it!

ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY

The title may not be appropriate for some.  It seems some individuals are always at odds with someone else.  There always seems to be an outcast--someone that does not fit well with other members of the family, biological or otherwise.  Perhaps these outcasts are too open, voice their opinions too readily, have no filters and the list goes on. 

In most cases, those that seem to stir the pot actually feel as though they have little control over their lives or feel insignificant in some way.  Perhaps as children, they did not have a voice and now they have found a way to get recognition, good, bad or indifferent.

There are many reasons why people react the way they do but usually something in their past that has been held on to has brought them to this.  If we learn to go beneath the surface, we might see the real person buried beneath a few layers of protection.

One Big Happy Family

With work, we can all live together as one big happy family. We will never all see eye-to-eye, but we can honour our differences. As Mother Theresa once said “If you judge people, you have no time to love them”.  Everyone wants and needs to be loved. 

We can learn to accept others if you can love them on their deepest level.

What can we do as individuals to bring together our earthly family? 

We can be one big happy family if we stop judgements and simply honour differences. Take responsibility for your outlook and response to others.

Make time to love!

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

It is imperative that we do what we can to keep our bodies and mind in a healthy state.  Having regular checkups, exercising, eating well and paying attention to our thoughts or focus are all factors in how well we maintain our health. 

Health and Wellness

Our number one priority would be our self-awareness, whether this relates to listening to our bodies, how we think about ourselves, how we relate to issues in life or react, or if we focus on negative health concerns whether these health concerns are based on symptoms or imagination.

Age should not create worry or concern even though we do tend to slow down a little as we age. We must look after ourselves no matter what our age.  The earlier we begin a healthy lifestyle, the healthier we will be as we age. The habits we form throughout our lives determine our attitude, focus and wellness.

If and when we do encounter health issues at some point in time, this is when we must adjust our thinking in such a way that we can challenge the issue.  Cancer, for example, is far too common but those that remain positive about their outcome have been noted to have a greater chance of full recovery. 

Our attitude about life has a great impact on not only our mental health, but over time is reflected in physical health depending on how long and to what degree we choose to allow negative thoughts to permeate our day-to-day living.  Our mental approach to what happens in life is key to not only being healthier but also to being content with our lives. 

This is not to say that we should stifle ambitions or become complacent. It means that our very thinking process affects our everyday lives both today and in the long run.

We have a greater chance of meeting and overcoming any challenging life situation with a positive attitude and learning where to focus our attention. 

Death is a guarantee in life and maybe we can change our attitude towards this transition as well.  Our passing does not have to be a negative experience if we can change our attitude towards it. It is inevitable. We would not be leaving our physical body and moving on from this life’s journey unless we were ready to do so.  We have completed our course and fulfilled our objectives even if we do not understand what these were. We will graduate and at that point are ready to move to the next level of awakening. It’s just a new chapter.

In the meantime, be thoughtful of your health and wellness to make the best of this current journey. Fill your life with love, contentment and appreciation through your attitude. Our focus dictates our experience.
