Relationship is Everything

It has been said by many psychiatrists and psychologists that many a problem faced in life concerns a problem relationship.

A problem relationship with your father or your mother or your teacher, if unresolved carries over into adult life. And this could mean having difficulties forming new relationships with significant others e.g. friends and loved ones. A good thing to remember here is that what has happened in the past, one cannot undo. However, we can decide to choose what to do today, from this very moment on.

Look into your own life and write down what are significant relationships you have today. Do an evaluation into these. An assessment could take the following framework:
a. what do I really Want from the relationship?
b. what am I Doing to get what I want from this relationship?
c. how Effective are my actions in getting what I want from this relationship?
d. what will I Plan to do differently to achieve a higher level of effectiveness from this relationship?

This is WDEP assessment.And has applications in all that we do, at home and in the workplace. The focus begins on your evaluation of the importance of the relationship and what that means to you personally.
