Where is Your Relationship Right Now?

1

Today’s world is built upon the relationships we have with ourselves and others. Understanding more about our relationships helps us to evaluate whether a relationship is working or not. Part of the journey of any relationship is coming to a deeper understanding of yourself and others. Throughout this book, I want you to identify the areas of your relationship where you might be struggling, and use the information here to help you improve it.

Any change is going to start with you and how you act or react to different circumstances. Throughout the following chapters, we are going to focus on learning more about who you are and how you impact your relationship in positive or negative ways. If you recently got out of a relationship, I want you to recognize that you can take your experiences from that relationship, and the tools in this book, to positively impact your next relationship.

Let’s start by assessing your current relationship or your recent past one.
