Are you overwhelmed by relationship issues? Hang in there. It’s not always what it seems.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by petty quarrels and other relationship problems‚ you’re not alone. Perhaps you’re falling out of love (or worse‚ starting to feel distain or hatred), or maybe someone has deceived‚ hurt‚ ignored or taken advantage of you or is just too negative or controlling. In cases like these, it’s wise to address these relationship woes before they spiral out of control.
Relationships are complicated and complex. Our relationships encompass a wide range of people. It might be a relationship between a parent and child‚ a child and parent or a couple‚ family members‚ exes‚ coworkers‚ siblings‚ friends or neighbors. These relationships and our perception of them often change and evolve as we do.
As conflicts happen, take a minute to check in with yourself and ask yourself how you feel at that moment. What memory is coming to the surface for you? Which relationship is it? Do you recognize a pattern? Is what’s happening now a repeat of that pattern?
Here are some things to look out for:
- Strong Triggers:
There is no direct or easy answer to discord. Relationships are complex and change over time. Sometimes conflicts fizzle away, and we find ourselves moving forward in that relationship to a higher level. Holidays often trigger feelings we’ve had in the past and can also illuminate our first relationships with our parents. Sometimes we are on guard and have preset notions of how our parents, siblings and family would react if we shared our personal news such as a new job or shift in our lives. There are all types of judgements and feelings of being measured and assessed.
- Different perspective.
Always take a deep breath and look at the situation from different perspectives. Be aware of your feelings, acknowledge and accept them. Try and reflect rather than react to the triggers. Before you react and fall into the old patterns of behavior, choose to put your mind in a more positive space where you are at peace and free from judgement. This will help you see things from an alternate point of view.
- Support and compassion.
Seek out support to assist you during this process. Sometimes talking to the person we have a conflict with helps us to see things from their point of view. Maybe it is an something that is bothering them which we had no idea about. This can create a new approach of compassion from our side.
The key to harmony in our relationships is directly connected to our relationship with ourselves. Our feelings and internal energy reflect how we manage connections and interactions with others.
Even before we are born we are involved in a relationship with our mother – our carrier into this world and all her life experiences. We are exposed to these relationship patterns energetically and become aware of them. These patterns of early childhood are what shape our relationships with others and ourselves.
Oftentimes we find it is easy to have positive relationships with some people but not others. The triggers we have that lead to discord are deep within us and may find their roots in our childhood. On the days we are under stress or overwhelmed with work, we are more sensitive to triggers that bring up emotional discords which reflect in our relationships.
As it is important to reflect on our relationships and potential conflicts and how to resolve them emotionally, you can also utilize some helpful holistic measures to support the process. For that, we have created a flower essence combo that helps you to address feelings of disconnect with loved ones or other difficult relationships. Let this essence help you take a break from the anger and discord and move you to a place of neutrality‚ acceptance and reconciliation.
