EP 310: Exploring Your Life Rather Than Analyzing it with Marley

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode is about taking the time to explore life and relationships. Today’s caller, Marley, is putting a lot of pressure on her current relationship. She future-forecasts instead of considering what the relationship may be able to teach her. We delve into how she can be curious, explore, and take the pressure off.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[For show notes, go here:</span> <a href="http://christinehassler.com/episode310"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Christinehassler.com/episode310</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">]</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Often, we go into relationships wondering if the other person is the one, so much so that we miss out on what we can learn from the other person. It is important to let your early relationships be a discovery process and explore instead of collecting evidence about what may be wrong with the other person if they are THE one, or how to make every relationship the relationship of your dreams.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every relationship is a growth opportunity. It is a misstep to base relationships on their longevity potential. Many times, we get into a relationship, and right out of the gate, we put pressure on it by wondering if the other person could be the one to marry or have children with instead of considering what the other person can teach us, what mirror they may be holding up, what parental patterns, wounds, or issues are they triggering? What could you be attracted to that is also a healing opportunity?</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enjoy where you are. Be curious, explore, and take the pressure off.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you listened to my Coaches Corner episodes recently?
