The beliefs we hold have a direct impact on our relationships and the way in which we see others and connect with them outside of ourselves. It’s hard to have a happy, healthy relationship when you harbor negative personal beliefs that make it impossible for you to open up or trust someone else. In order to build partnerships worth working for, we have to first face up to our beliefs and the ideas we harbor which hold us back.

Our beliefs feed our relationships.

When we think about our beliefs and our values, we often think of things like politics or our religious alignments. The belief systems we build for ourselves permeate into every corner of our lives. They affect the way in which we view ourselves, and the way in which we view others. They also play a major role in how we actively build our relationships and the partners we invest our time and energy into.

What relationship beliefs do you have? What do you think about the power dynamics between two partners? About sharing your feelings and being raw, open, and vulnerable with someone else…
