RELATIONSHIPS

Every relationship has a story and an emotion attached to it which leads to unconscious assessments. We make these assessments based on previous experience and generalised moods. They trigger emotions that we feel in our body and generate thoughts in the brain that lead us to act in certain ways.

For example, if you have a friend or colleague who lets you down, how you react and the outcome will depend on the mood you are in and the story you tell yourself.  They will determine the future direction of the relationship. We are constantly making these assessments. If they are positive and grateful relationships can get stronger and increase the possibility of a more satisfying personal and professional life.
