Know When To Walk Away From Your Relationship
Jul 25, 2020
Kenny Roger's once sang, "You've got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away, and know when to run".
Even though this is a country song, it's some really valid life advice. It's important to know when to hold steady or when to fold and walk away from situations and people in our lives that aren't for our best and highest good. This theme has been really prevalent lately. No matter the cause, we've had situations this year that have tested our resolve and changed the way we think or act.
For some, they've realized that long-term relationships are no longer working despite their best efforts. Do I stay or go? That's a difficult question to answer. Many years ago when I was going through a divorce, my mom gave me this pearl of wisdom that I've never forgotten. She said, "You can't make anyone else happy if you're not happy yourself". Well, to expand on this wisdom, you can't ever make anyone happy. It's something people have to find and choose for themselves. You also have to make choices that will make you happy. Spending years in an unhappy relationship because you think that's what your supposed to do isn't going to make you happy. In fact, it's like dying a very slow death where happiness is being drained out of you little by little until you feel stuck and lost. You're put on this Earth to be a bright shining star, and joy is your birthright!
Ending relationships of any kind or length is difficult. It takes time to grieve, heal, and figure out the best road to move forward. Change can feel very scary at first, even if it's for the better. Avoid the temptation to blame anyone (yes, this includes yourself!). Regret, guilt, shame and anger won't serve to bring you future happiness. It's important to process your feelings completely to avoid the "would of, could of, should of" game.
Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.) is designed to help you process and release stress so you can completely heal and move forward. You deserve a life filled with happiness. This may mean making changes where you live, your job, finances, relationships and routines. I recently had a conversation with a friend about change. An important part of change is the destruction of old ways and the creation of new ones. One needs to happen to clear the way for the other. If this was a year for destruction in your life, know that creation is just around the corner.
