Would you describe your role in your relationships as dependent, hyper-independent, or interdependent? Dependence is relying on others excessively, often sacrificing autonomy. Hyper-independence is the opposite—avoiding reliance on anyone, often due to fear or past hurt, leading to isolation. Interdependence strikes a balance where individuals maintain independence while mutually supporting each other. It fosters healthy relationships, emphasizing collaboration, trust, and respect without losing personal freedom or creating unhealthy reliance.

Are you one of the people putting together your New Year's Resolutions list? Are there some habits or behaviors you'd like to change going into the new year? New Year's resolutions offer a fresh start, inspiring motivation and goal-setting. They encourage self-improvement, focus, and hope for change. However, unrealistic resolutions can lead to frustration or self-criticism when unmet. Overemphasis on external goals may overshadow deeper needs. Success requires realistic planning, patience, and self-compassion, transforming resolutions from fleeting promises into meaningful growth opportunities.

Are you with someone you wish were different? Do you hope your patience, efforts and nagging will magically transform them into your ideal partner? Trying to change another person is often futile, as true transformation comes from within. Pushing someone to change can create resistance, resentment, or superficial compliance. Focus instead on acceptance, empathy, and leading by example. Encourage growth by supporting their self-discovery, but respect their autonomy. Change thrives in understanding, not control, and meaningful relationships value authenticity over imposed ideals.
