When you start a new relationship you never expect that your emotional personality might sabotage your success.
Your emotional personality defines how you relate to other people and the world around you. This is an important factor in romantic relationships.
If you are in a brand new relationship or you are in a long term relationship, understanding your emotional personality can help.
You probably already know that relationships are a place where emotional wounds are easily triggered. We all want to feel secure in our relationships. We all want to be accepted.
But, sometimes relationships create stress, worry, and uncertainty. We do not have that safe place to be ourselves.
Is your stress due to your partner or is it due to emotional wounds from your past?
Do you believe that your emotional wounds only affect you? Do you realize how much your wounds can hurt your relationships?
Your past affects every relationship you have. You learn how to relate to others as you grow up in your family, go to school, and interact with your childhood friends. Anytime you were wounded as a child you bring that with you into your adult relationships.
Many times we blame others when we feel hurt. Are you ready to try a different approach?

Are you ready to find your gifts?
Is a lack of forgiveness holding you back from the life you dream about? When you can’t forgive someone you are holding onto anger, resentments, and hurts from the past.
Sometimes you are holding onto recent grudges. Your boss criticized you in front of everyone. Your romantic partner forgot your birthday. Other times you are holding onto hurts from childhood. A teacher embarrassed you. Your mother slapped you.
A lack of forgiveness is always about the past. Letting go of the past is the key to the life you dream about.
Do you have too many negative people in your life? Do people in your life hold you back or bring you down? It seems like negative people are everywhere.
Last week a client sent me a thank-you e-mail and I want to quote part of it. “In my view, I am a cleaner, lighter being in my core as a result of your work. Because of this new lightness my world has become cleaner with less negative people and more of the positive ones. Being a better person starts way deep inside…”
Fear is a natural emotion and most of the time it serves us well. Fear helps us stay safe. But what happens when fear gets out of control? It can affect every area of life. It can lower your self esteem, destroy your confidence, and keep you stuck in a life that is not working….
You may not be aware that many of your emotions are not related to the present moment and can affect your success. We have two kind of emotions: those from the present moment and those from the past. When you feel an emotion do you know where it comes from? You can decide if emotions…
