RELATIONSHIPS
Even if you are single, you are constantly in relationship(s).
We might overlook our friendships with close girlfriends, those with classmates and others in school, sporting or community groups as being relationships, but they all in fact are!
You are even in relationship with the people that serve you at when you go buy food, at the shops, movies, etc.
The most important relationship you have however is the one you have with yourself.
The quality of your relationship with you is what founds all others.
Below you will find a heap of articles that explore these themes – your relationship with you is the basis of all other relationships.
If you ignore what it is that you need to do for yourself in any moment, but expect others to deliver you everything, you are open for abuse.
No-one knows how to care for you exactly the way you need to be cared for.
You are in charge of the movements that guarantee the quality or flavour of the outcome.
If you are not, you are anyone’s…
Have you ever held a newborn baby?
How did it feel?
What did they feel like to you?
Did you feel like you were holding something so precious and that you had an enormous responsibility to not contribute any harm towards this baby?
Think about your relationship with yourself:
Do you treat yourself with the honour and care you would a newborn?
If not – why not?

Where are ‘U’?
Where did the U in “honour yo’self’ go?
If you are not honouring ‘u’, the path to disrespect and abuse is paved, as the foundation has already been lain.

If you've lost touch with who you are, everything suffers, from your mental health to your relationships with partners, friends and family.

Circa 2015, one of the heads of the Australian Army made a statement that went something like “the standard you walk past is the standard you are prepared to accept”. This was in relation to rampant sexual abuse in the armed forces, and was intended to encourage, if not fortify bystanders of endemic behaviour to stand up and challenge it.
In some ways, we do not need further awareness of abuse, because we live it and we live in it, every single day. But how did abuse become our standard? And why do we continue to allow it? Read on...
What does it mean to be on the rollercoaster of life, and is there another way?
We all know the ups and downs of drama as they come to us from others; but how do we participate in this ourselves to make the merry-go-round play on?
It’s worth knowing that steadiness is a quality that comes from deep within, and with any dramas we engage in – our own or others – we both avoid and prevent surrendering to that place of depth that can otherwise be our compass to navigate life with ease.

Many young women will already have begun to be sexually active, and as long as you agree and enjoy what goes on between the sheets (so to speak), that’s okay.
​
But what if you get into a position (literally or metaphorically) you feel uncomfortable with? That your inner voice is suggesting, anywhere from in a quiet whisper to screaming loudly, that perhaps you should not be in this situation? What then?
​
Just because your body matures, doesn’t necessarily mean that you feel mature inside of yourself. Conversely you may feel you are very mature, and keenly embrace all this brings your way.
No matter what it is you are doing, do you act in ways that honour yourself?
It’s easy to look outside and use what everybody else is doing to compare and rationalise whatever we do and why. And it’s even easier to look outside and normalise behaviours that don’t have deep respect at their core, simply because they are common.
