Today is the first of March, which means “The Secret to Relationships” has just begun. I’ve added some more Things to Achieve to my list, and these will be my focus until the end of the month.
Initially, I thought this month was going to be about improving my relationship with Duncan (possibly the most patient boyfriend the world has ever known); however, since re-reading the relationship chapter in The Secret, I now realise that this month is about improving my relationships with everything and everyone, including myself. The Secret says that we need to feel good about ourselves in order to attract good things to us, and this month I want to focus on feeling good about myself.
In any job hunt it is inevitable that you’re going to receive some rejection letters. Rejection letters don’t make you feel very good about yourself, and the worse you feel, the worse the situation becomes. This cycle escalates until you almost can’t face applying for jobs because you can’t stand the thought of receiving another rejection letter. In order to succeed at anything, you first need to feel good about yourself.
I also want to focus on my relationships with the people around me, and for the next thirty days I will attempt to see only good things in people. As The Secret states, we should be focusing on what we appreciate about other people, not our complaints about them.
On that note, my first Thing to Achieve this month is “take a piece of paper, and for the next thirty days sit down and write all the things that you appreciate about that person.” I’m going to adapt this slightly, and write down one new thing each day, rather than writing the same list for thirty days. This way, at the end of the month I’ll have a long list of thirty things which I appreciate.
This month, the person I’ll be appreciating is Duncan, but I may continue this task over the next few months using different people if I feel I need to.
