Hello and welcome to the month of relationships!

Relationships in any degree are never what we perceive they will be. When we attempt to force them into a certain formula or idealism we usually fail, only causing us to endure unnecessary pain.

This month I want to take a fresh look at relationships and throw the rulebook out the window. When you stop focusing on what your perfect relationship should look like and how it is meant to be, is when you realise that happiness in relationships is whatever you make of it.

The key to having successful relationships is a combination of three elements: Reality, Communication and Affinity.

The first step is to establish a shared understanding of one another’s reality (view of the relationship) and understand what each person perceives as acceptable and not acceptable behaviour.  The ability to gain a shared understanding comes with your ability to communicate with one another.

Good communication keeps each of you in a place of understanding and allows you to prevent misunderstandings from escalating. Always remember though to communicate with compassion and from a space of love.

The last thing you need to maintain a great relationship is affinity (in the physical sense).  When we are close to our friends and family and spend time with them laughing and having fun, the bond is strengthened and we grow together.

Relationships and your enjoyment of them are no longer a construct of Hollywood directors and scriptwriters.  Good relationships, passion and love is simply whatever you want and understand it to be.

If both people in the relationship are honest, have a shared understanding of each other’s expectations and are happy, then they have a great relationship, regardless of other people’s opinions.

It is time for you to live your life today and take action in this moment to be happy.  The only moment that matters is the moment of now. So be sure to make it count!

Yours in Success

The most important relationship you can have

Relationships are the essence of life in all areas.  From business to family and everything in between, our lives are simply a variety of relationships. Our quality of life is dependent on our quality of our relationships.

The most important relationship in life is the relationship you have with yourself. It is your health.

Life is very busy, so it is easy to find excuses not to exercise, eat right, sleep enough… You might even be hesitant to indulge yourself with massages, a visit to the chiropractor or a yoga class. The biggest excuse I hear is that clients do not have the time and it’s all too expensive.

The thing is, that when you deny yourself good health, the rest of your life tends to suffer.

To improve any area of your life, I’d say start by improving your relationships. To better your relationships with others, start by bettering the relationship you have with you. I’m sure you’d agree that when you feel healthy, you interact better with others.

This month I urge you to focus on your health… to put yourself first. Maybe you need to book yourself a massage or go for a regular walk. Maybe you need to change what you eat or seek advice from an expert in health. But most importantly I believe we all need to listen to our bodies as they tell us what is out of balance and what they need and want.

Do something different and make this month the month of You!
