What’s Happening in Your Relationships?

What are the closest non-family relationships in your life formed around?

A common interest

A shared dislike 

A ‘connection’ you both felt but can’t quite describe 

Proximity 

Loneliness

Have they evolved over time?

Looking into your relationships can give strong clues into what’s going wrong in those relationships.

Maybe you’ve grown and changed.

Maybe they’ve grown and changed.

Maybe you’ve both grown and changed and now you don’t quite ‘fit’ each other anymore, or so it seems.

Maybe you stopped paying attention and need to put time and effort into the relationship again.

Maybe the reason you formed the relationship no longer exists and, if no other connection was formed, the relationship has run its course. 

When things begin to feel off and there’s no big, obvious reason, look back. The clue may be in the beginning.

• Fix It or Let It Go?
  There’s something really satisfying about fixing something yourself. Whether it’s fixing a broken chair, troubleshooting a glitchy microwave, or resolving a strained relationship, the act of restoring something brings a sense of accomplishment and purpose. It’s a necessary reminder that not everything that’s broken is beyond repair, especially in a world that sometimes treats even… Read more: Fix It or Let It Go?
