Cleaning up your relationships....

Posted by amy at 6:33 AM Wednesday, May 19, 2010

As I'm sure you have noticed, I am a big believer in making room for the new.

You may think that is a crude way to put this, but it's simply the truth.

In order to make room for the awesome new people who are destined to cross paths with you, you must make room for them.

And this means, you must clear out some of the old relationships that are not benefiting you anymore.

Ask yourself this:

How does it feel to be surrounded by people who make you feel good about yourself?

These people celebrate the person you are & support you to the best you can be.

How does it feel to be around people who drain your energy?

These individuals focus on the negatives & provide very little encouragement or joy to the relationship.

Obviously when I am talking about clearing out relationships, I'm talking about the latter.

We all know these people. Just cut ties. You do not need this constant drain.

You have many choices in your life, but choosing who to surround yourself with is essential to your physical & emotional well-being.

Now is the time for you to re-evaluate the relationships in your life & determine a course of action. Give yourself permission to spring clean the people in your life. You have the choice & ability to surround yourself with individuals who genuinely contribute to your growth & happiness.

People grow in different directions & sometimes choose to take seperate paths.

It is no ones fault.

Sometimes you may feel that a relationship is worth salvaging & that you're not quite ready to let it go. If this is the case, then it's important that you set some clear boundaries & let the other person know what changes need to be made.

If you do not communicate, nothing will change.

The people you choose to surround yourself with are a true reflection of who you are & what you value in life.

Life is far too short to spend time & energy on things that do not have much value.

If someone is holding you back form being the amazing being that you are, it's ok to stand tall & move on.

Do you need some life help?

Like my style?

Who, exactly, seeks out a coach?? Winners who want even more out of life."
— Chicago Tribune,

"The hottest thing in management is the
executive coach —
part boss, part consultant,
part therapist.
Betsy Morris

Got a nagging feeling that your life could be

more fulfilling? Want to change direction but
aren't sure how to do it? Here's how to jump
start your new life today? Hire a personal
coach."

— Modern Maturity

Coaching can certainly help you strengthen

your sense of selfworth, focus on your goals
— and get there, fast."

— The London Daily Telegraph

"…a personal coach is better than a

best friend."

Coaching is an action-oriented partnership

that, unlike psychotherapy which delves
into patterns of the past, concentrates on
where you are today and how you can reach
your goals."

— Time

"Coaching is not about the past or figuring

out why and how life got so complicated or
overwhelming. It is about moving forward on
the things that matter most to you,
dissolving barriers and blocks to your own
success, and designing a life that you love."
