KAIZEN FOR LIFE

There will be times in your life where you need to make the decision for yourself to let people go. This is a very hard decision to make and it can be so confusing. We can love someone and love so much about them, but it not be enough for them to be in our lives. We can be loved by them and sometimes we still need to let them go.

How can we possibly know when it’s time to let someone go?

I’m afraid there are not a ‘3 easy steps to know if you should let someone go!’ .

However there are things we can consider. This applies to all types of relationships in your life.

There needs to be a balance of logic and emotion.

Come from a a place of emotion – but use your logic to unpack and make sense of that emotion.

How is this person making me feel on average? Am I feeling more positive or negative emotions when I’m around them/thinking about them? Is this person bringing out the best version of me? Is this person contributing to my life in a positive way? Is this person using actions to back up and prove their words? Is this person capable of giving me what I want? Could I spend the rest of my life with this person based off the way they make me feel on average? Can I envision a life with this person? Would this person be a good mother/father? Would I want my kids around this person? Are you finding more faults with this person that value? Is this person showing you/capable of giving you the love and care that you desire and need?

You cannot ask a person to change and you cannot make a person change who they truly are. They can work on improving and altering their actions and adapting to the kind of love and care you need. But if it gets to a point where you have tried that and failed, or you’re asking for more than they can give you – I think you need to ask yourself whether it is time to move on.

You need to come back to yourself – what do you need? What do you want? Are you happy?

If something is meant for you, it will be yours. Always remember that.
