Introduction to Relationship Cycles

Certain cycles in your life are holding you back, and it's time for you to take control and change them. This is part 1 of an in-depth series on relationship cycles. Step one is to recognize that relationship cycles exist, whether you want them to or not.

Instead of writing a full article, I decided to make my very first podcast. --I realize that it's not very emotional and I drift into a type of monotone that might sooth you to sleep, but the information is there so I hope you make it to the end!--In my next podcast I'll have to put a little more emotion into it. I was alone in a room this time so maybe next time I'll have a live audience for it?

Relationship Cycles are simple: 1- You go along like normal. 2 - Something happens that affects you 3- You react to it and then 4- there is some sort of resolution phase were you do something--anything--to get back to your normal state. Then you carry on like normal until something similar happens and you react the same way and resolve it the same way and return to normal again. You do not have control over what happens to you; and although you can train your subconscious out of the triggers, and the reactions you have to those triggers, it is very difficult to control that area of your life.
 What you do have a lot of control over is how you resolve these cycles. If you are aware of the relationship cycle, and you understand the triggers and how you normally resolve these cycles, then you gain control over the cycle itself and you can make a conscious decision about how you're going to let it affect you. If you control the cycle, you can improve your relationships and ultimately make them more fulfilling for you.
Cycles are an excellent way to keep you in the same spot in life, but most of us are not interested in staying in the same spot, most of us have goals and dreams that we want to achieve and so getting beyond the cycles is going to help you reach your relationship goals and dreams, including: growing closer to people rather than further away, really resolving conflicts so that they don't keep popping up, and getting more out of the relationships you presently have. Improving this area of your life will make a huge difference in EVERY area of your life because relationships are connected to every aspect of your life.


P.S. Sorry about the volume--I'll fix that later today. (be prepared to turn down your speakers)
