Have you ever invested your time and emotions to build a relationship, only to see that relationship destroyed in a matter of minutes? When it was all over, and the dust settled, did you find yourself wondering, "What happened?" Whether the relationship is in your business or personal life, strong relationships take time, attention, and energy to build, maintain, and nurture. Relationships are important to everyone. As the saying goes, "No man is an island." We need and depend on each other. Our relationships help define who we are and how we get along in the world.
Conflict happens when two opposing parties have different views, interests, or goals, which seem incompatible with one another. Conflict usually occurs at the height of a stressful situation when everything seems to bubble over. Typically, it's not just related to the one event that triggered the outward showing of the conflict in the first place.
Do you feel as if everyone is taking advantage of your good nature? Do you think they would still do it if you were more assertive? Becoming more assertive is a goal that many of us want to achieve. We feel disrespected and we want to be able to stand our ground without guilt or fear.
Have you ever seen ants marching in search of food? They just follow one another in an almost endless game that seems to drone on and on. Does your life feel like an ant's life – as if you're going from day to day, doing the same thing, the same way, and nothing ever changes? If so, then there's a very good probability you're not living consciously. Conscious living is being aware of your life and the things you're doing. It's about taking the time to stop and smell the roses so you can see where you fit into the whole picture.
Life can be truly hectic, even chaotic, if we don’t stop now and then to take a few minutes for ourselves. With the invention of computers, our work lives were supposed to get easier, but it's gotten busier than ever before! The original mentality was that computers would allow us to get the same amount of work done in half the time. That idea went out the window when we realized we could now get twice the work (or more) done in the same time. Now our world has become so fast paced that it’s hard to keep up.
Wandering around aimlessly from day to day provides absolutely no benefit to you or those around you. An unspecified purpose leaves you frustrated and lacking direction with everything you do. If you don't already know your purpose in life, take some time to reflect on what it may be. Then make sure everything you do lines up with this purpose. DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE In order to find your purpose, look at the things you love to do and what makes you tick.
What are you afraid of? Are your worries preventing you from getting things accomplished in your life? Everyone has fears and many people let those fears stop them from doing things that may prove to be worthwhile or even lucrative. How can you turn your fear into a positive force in your life? The first thing you need to understand is the fear itself. Why are you afraid? Is it a rational fear? A fear of snakes can be rational, while a fear of spoons isn't. Figure out if your fear is rational; if it isn't, try to understand why you have such an irrational fear.
Do you have a To-Do list that is longer than your arm? Do you look at the list and think, “Wow I have so much to do! Why did I say I’d take on that project for the school?” A lot of people carry around with them a lot of “baggage” or “clutter” in their minds, on lists, in their purses, in their cars, and at home. Many people in today’s hectic world hold onto things that they say they should do but don’t. Whether it’s something that you need to take care of, or a phone call to that friend you had a fight with and want to apologize to.
Every day, almost everywhere we look we're bombarded with someone else's idea of perfection. We're told, "You need this," "You should wear this" and "You need to be this way or that way," but no one tells us that we're just fine. In this society of "whoever has the most toys wins," no one ...
Did you know that you talk to yourself all day long? (Yes, you're likely doing it right now. You can't deny it!) Also, I'm not talking about the all of the mental chatter about the various activities and chores you need to remember and manage throughout the day. Yes, it's also self talk but not the type I'm going to discuss, I'm speaking about the things you say to yourself on a regular basis and more specifically the tone and words used. Think about this: When you make a mistake, how do you react? Do you call yourself derogatory names?

What is self-worth, anyway? To find out, answer this question: How much would you say you’re worth? The answer is your self-worth, or the value you place on yourself. Just like anything of value, the self can fluctuate up and down in worth for any number of reasons!
