How Would You Describe Your Personality?

Improving how you communicate in relationships, both through your words and your body language, will lead to a happy and healthy relationship. It’s also a healthy way to release what you are feeling and thinking inside. Learning how to talk about money and examining your own relationship with money will help you to avoid money issues in your next relationship. How well or badly an argument goes has more to do with how you handle conflict than the conflict itself. Don’t storm off, yell, or explode. Instead, focus on what can change, acknowledge the other person’s feelings, and apologize if you need to. Now that you’ve reset your beliefs, recast your past, and have committed to an action plan, you’re ready for a new perspective on you. What parts of life are most important to you? Are you the person you want to be? And what kind of partner do you dream about? For instance, you may love to line dance to country music, but during your marriage, you skipped country and western nights at Billy’s Bar because your ex was a wallflower with two left feet. Or maybe you’ve always dreamed of starting your own business as a web designer, but your ex dismissed or put down your ideas and skills, which made you doubt your business sense and talents. But now that you’re single and out in the dating world, you might not know where you stand with a potential partner, and without this validation, you may feel like your life’s in chaos. Does he think I’m funny? In these questions, people completely forget about themselves and what’s important to them. I’m single again in my fifties, and I’m afraid I’m too old for dating.

Everybody Knows

Will anyone even find me attractive anymore? What are men my age looking for? I’ve been on a few dates with a woman I really like. I feel like my life is a circus. I just started dating someone and I think he likes me, but I’m not entirely sure. How can I keep him interested? I really don’t want to lose him. When you are dating, it’s natural to want to be liked, sought after, and loved. But focusing too much on the other person and what they think, desire, or need can be a dangerous pattern. If you live in a colder climate, as I do, I’m sure at some point you’ve had to dig your car out of ice and snow. You shovel the snow. Shovel your driveway. Then wait for a snowplow to clear the road. The same happens with your sense of self within a relationship. In a relationship, it’s easy to become snowed in by what your partner thinks of you.

Everything Has A Price To Pay

After years of being snowed in, it may even be hard to tell what model of car you are driving under all of that snow! Taking the time to remove your ex’s influences and opinions from your life will help you to find the real you before you head out on the open road. With this toolkit, you’ll work from the inside out. First, I’ll ask you to look deep inside of yourself. What takes priority in your life? Living a healthy and balanced life? Are you happy with your priorities, or do you want any of them to change? Ready to get started? Key life values are the parts of life that are most important to you. They are the likes, beliefs, preferences, and goals that make up you at your very core. For each of the questions below, jot down your thoughts and answers on a sheet of paper, and when you are done, circle the three values that stand out the most. After you’ve circled your three key values, take a moment and study what you’ve circled. Are these three values truly what are most important to you, or do they reflect what you are used to doing? Give it some good time and thought, and be true to yourself. How do you view money? Does saving money take priority in your life? Or do you like to spend? Do you believe in sharing a bank account with a committed partner, or would you prefer to keep your finances separate? How would you feel if your partner earned more or less than you do? What about your quality of life? Does money determine how often you eat out, go on vacation, or how you spend your leisure time? Do you have or want children? How many children do you ideally want, or are children not part of your life plan? Do you prefer for one parent to stay at home and care for the children? Are you a strict disciplinarian, or do you go with the flow? Does faith or spirituality play a role in your life? Worldwide, over 82 percent of all people identify with a particular faith or set of religious beliefs. In the United States, 65 percent of people do. Does this apply to you? If so, do you attend religious services? How many activities in your life surround or infuse your religious beliefs? And do these beliefs influence how you raise your children? How important is your job or career? Many people’s identities are tied to their careers. Does work hold a similar priority for you? Is it important to have a healthy balance between work and your personal life? Is health and fitness part of your life? This includes eating right, working out, and generally being proactive with your health.

Hold On To Your Hat

Is good nutrition important to you? How do you view your own weight and the weight of others? What should the role of a partner be if the other becomes ill or disabled? How would you describe your personality? There are core traits to our personalities that define who we are, what we prefer, and how we communicate. When your life is miserable or challenging, do you search inside of yourself for strength and stay solitary until you find it?
