We all live in a complex web of relationships: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, significant others, etc. Some relationships work, and some don’t – it is the sad reality of life. As I have said before, we live and learn from these experiences and hopefully become a better person because of these lessons. Recently I have learned we must be conscious of who we enter into a relationship with and why. At times we can control the amount at which people rob us of our energy and how often they irritate and frustrate us.
What tends to happen is that we shut off and are not fully present for the people in our lives that truly matter; those who give and take, equally exchanging their energy. We fall into a path of not nurturing relationships that serve us well, healthy relationships. Instead, we lose all of our energy in relationships where the other person doesn’t serve us.
Is there anyone in your life that you notice yourself feeling emotionally tired around? Sometimes we stay in relationships that we would truly be happier without in the long run. A favorite quote of mine is, “Don’t waste your time on someone who won’t waste their time on you.” We all deserve to be happy; life is too short to surround yourself with a few bad eggs. Protect the good relationships in your life, nurture them and be an active participant. Serve yourself and your good relationships well.
