Relationships! We all have them – family, friends, co-workers, and significant others, many of which have long been established. We have grown over the years, and our relationships have needed to evolve as well. But have we known how to shift them? Our old patterns are well entrenched since childhood. We want to love and be loved, but we often misunderstand this to mean we must allow any kind of behavior in order to be loving. Let’s change that!
Creating healthy connections is possible and setting appropriate boundaries is part of that equation. It begins with honoring you first. Never be invested in another’s well-being more than they are in their own. Further, never be more invested in another’s well-being than you are in your own.
Healthy connections honor and empower both individuals. Sometimes you may be called to give more of yourself when the one you love is losing their balance. Offer assistance that helps them to stand on their own once again. Other times you may need to step back for your loved one to discover their own wonderful capabilities.
Resisting change is normal, especially when the patterns are so comfortable, but don’t be fearful of losing another’s love. They will eventually see how a healthier relationship allows you both to experience a taste of unconditional love. It’s time to release this unhealthy dance.
Our connections in life are meant to be loving, encouraging, and supportive. The way is easy when you see what is empowering to you both. The choice to do so is worth it!
