Reasons Why Empowering Yourself Leads To Better Relationships
Personal empowerment often plays a big role
in the quality of your relationships because of the beliefs
and behaviors you express in your interactions with others.
If you’ve ever expected a relationship to somehow “complete”
you or make you feel strong or whole, you probably experienced
disappointment and frustration as it seemed to cause bigger
problems in your life.
There are several reasons why personal empowerment is important
in relationships:
1) Other people sense the way you feel about yourself and
treat you accordingly.
Have you ever noticed that other people seem to pick up on
subtle cues and reflect your own beliefs back to you? For example,
if you lack confidence, you’ll often find yourself encountering
aggressive or intimidating people who seem to exacerbate those
feelings. If you don’t have a healthy level of respect for
yourself, you’ll probably encounter plenty of people who don’t
respect you either.
This is no accident! People tend to sense your inner beliefs
based on your demeanor and body language, and gear their behavior
to match.
When you’re empowered and strong, you communicate that essence
to others, and others will treat you as such, resulting in
healthier relationships.
What do you notice in the way you feel about yourself: ____________________.
2) You’ll notice in others the things you dislike about yourself.
Have you ever heard of “projecting” your own perceptions and
beliefs onto others? A lack of self-love within yourself will
often cause you to believe that others don’t love you either.
A lack of confidence in yourself will attract people that you
struggle to place your confidence in also!
When you are empowered and confident, you’ll end up attracting
others who both see you that way and embody the same qualities
themselves.
What do you project onto others: ____________________.
3) You’ll constantly look to others for reassurance and validation.
When you don’t feel empowered or confident, you’ll constantly
seek reassurance and validation from the people around you.
Rather than feeling self-assured, you’ll appear to be needy
and insecure, which will place a drain on your relationship
and push others away from you.
Do you look to others for reassurance and validation: YES / NO ?
Remember that empowerment is an inside job! You need to give
yourself love, respect and confidence first if you want to
also receive it from others.
How will you change this about yourself: ____________________.
Fulfilling and satisfying relationships require that both
partners are empowered and balanced before entering into them.
When you empower yourself from within, you bring a stronger
element of genuine love, respect and intimacy to your relationships
and stop seeking validation from outside sources. Ultimately,
this ensures that your connections with others will be deeper,
richer and more meaningful.
