Casual Articles - 3 Ways Transition Impacts Our Relationships
You are invested in Individual Retirement Account (IRA) certificates of deposits and bonds for your retirement. These are excellent investments; but you do not want all of your IRA investments in these type of savings because you can get locked in with low annual percentage yields. It was just a few years ago that you were fortunate to get a certificate of deposit with 2.75% yield.You are looking for another type of retirement investment that provides a higher annual return and you want to exercise caution. Your goal is to maintain a comfortable life style whether the market goes up or the market goes

With everyone spending more than they save, it’s no wonder that credit card debt is at an all time high. But just because everyone else is in trouble doesn’t make it a non-issue. Credit card debt not only ruins your credit score, but it can also hurt your future and your sense of security as well.The precious credit scoreThe newest number that everyone is talking about is their credit score. With a good credit score, you can get better credit card offers, better interest rates for houses and cars, and you can get bigger loans than others with lower credit scores. And the truth is that most peop
Everyone handles adjustment to life changes differently. Are you the type of person who loves new experiences? Do you thrive in new situations, and love the rush that comes from accomplishing something new? Or do you enjoy having a routine and avoid new experiences like the plague? Regardless of how we manage changes in our life, if we’re in a committed relationship, we have a tendency to rely on our partner the most in times of uncertainty and unfamiliarity. And if our partner deals with change differently than we do, this could cause some conflict. So how does a major life transition affect our committed relationships? And how can we use these experiences to strengthen our interactions with our partner, rather than undermine them? Well, here are a few of my thoughts, being a recent survivor of major change:
The problem: You begin to feel like your partner is the cause of all of this new stress and anxiety.
Of course you know logically that your partner didn’t intentionally do anything to make your life more difficult. But sometimes, after weeks and months of trying to adapt to a new situation, it becomes tempting to look for a reason, any reason, for your newfound suffering. You begin to think: after all, if he/she didn’t suggest (fill in the blank: having a baby, going back to school, changing jobs, etc.), none of this would be happening. You would still be living the easy-going lifestyle you were used to just a few months ago.
What to do: Remind yourself that your partner is not to blame for your new situation. Remember that life, by definition, requires change. And your partner is, more often than not, going through just as much as you are. So instead of assigning blame, make a list of things that would help you feel better today. What would help you adapt to your situation right now? It takes time to adapt to change, so focus on the present moment, and do things to help you now (not 3 months from now). Pamper yourself a little, and recognize that things will get better in time.

The only thing that is constant is change. However, there is one more thing that is constant and that is communication. Communication is perhaps the only thing that we have carried along with us as we moved, passed various centuries. All this while, different technologies were invented to improve the mode of communication. The most recent is VoIP or voice over Internet Protocol. It has come with a bang and has revolutionised the entire structure of the telecommunication industry. Not only is this the most flexible and reliable way of communication, but it also brings along with it various benefits and fea

If you want to get results from your presentations, and from your speeches, you need, basically, a message and a presentation focused on the results you want. You use the visuals, then, to support that message – give it power. And you must be seen, in your presentation and in your use of those visuals, as competent and confident. Then you will produce the impact that you choose.It may be that in the culture of your organisation or of your audience, impact will be created by your visuals. If the message of your speech means nothing, your speech means nothing, and your image beyond the ability to crea

Your prospect attends an important trade show and returns to a busy life. Inside their bag of goodies are all the trinkets and collected purchase information. After distributing the trinkets to family members, the information joins the busy desk pile. As life takes hold of time and priorities the information bag sinks colder and deeper into the desk.

Major life changes have a tendency to make us feel incompetent in the simplest of situations. We remember the feeling of being in control and on top of things before this big change, and then all of a sudden we’re struggling to complete tasks that used to be easy or automatic. After a while, it can wear us down. And how does this affect our relationship? We start to feel less capable, or less interesting to our partner, or even un-loveable! And then we tend to pull away from our partner so they can’t see the “real” us.
What to do: It’s easy to feel like a failure when you’re constantly struggling with new challenges. But degrading yourself for not being perfect at something the first (or second, or even third) time you try it isn’t going to help. Instead, ask your partner for support. Tell him/her how you’re feeling, and then ask them to love you, even if you mess up another 100 times. Chances are, they’ll be relieved that you’re human too. Asking for help can be tricky for many of us (any super-moms out there?). But leaning on your partner when you’re feeling vulnerable is the whole point of intimacy. Let them hold your hand during this difficult time.
The problem: The relationship has taken a back-seat to life.
Experts say it takes 6 months to a year to fully adapt to a major life change, such as getting married, having a child, or starting a new job. So what happens to our relationship when a specific life change is demanding so much of our attention? Yep, we focus on the most pressing issue of the moment, and tell ourselves we’ll spend some “quality-time” with our partner when things settle down. But 6 months to a year later, our relationship may need more than quality time – it may need some serious CPR!
What to do: Don’t wait for life to be under control to focus on your relationship. Schedule some regular time to focus only on your relationship, whether it’s once a day, once a week or even once a month. Just take the time to appreciate the good things that your partner brings to your life, talk about all of the new things you’ve both been experiencing, and then celebrate how far you’ve come together.
