322. Every Relationship is a Teacher: Life Stories vs Love Stories


Listen Later

Every single relationship in our life can teach us something. Even the ones that end badly. By reframing each challenging experience as a lesson, rather than a setback, helps us grow and move on with much less resistance.

 

“Thank them for the lesson and move forward.” 

 

If you find yourself still feeling resentment or anger about a person or situation - normal and healthy emotions - here we’re diving into how to train our minds to look at these with gratitude and curiosity instead. Because curiosity and the desire to learn is one of the most necessary ingredients to building beautiful relationships.

 

In this episode, we’re talking about:

 

  • How we can train ourselves to reframe our experiences into lessons
  • How scarcity mindset keeps us clinging to past negative experiences 
  • Our greatest source of pain
  • Why many people (mistakenly) think they’re unworthy of love and relationship
  • How reframing negative experiences can propel us forward rather than keep us stuck
  • Why we shouldn’t overlook past relationship experiences as part of who we are today
  • Why we should be grateful for relationships even when they end badly
  • How to get unstuck from clinging to a relationship or situation that isn’t working

 

I would love to know what you have learned from a past relationship. 

 

What lesson did you derive from it that helped shape who you have become?
