Personal Foundation: Strengthen Family
Family, whether biological or chosen, is an important part of our Personal Foundation. Why? Because we need to know we belong, that we are loved, that we can afford to take risks in life because we know there are key people behind and with us.
WHEN A PERSON HAS A STRONG FAMILY
- More needs are met, automatically.
- Values are expressed more often.
WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE DOESN’T HAVE A STRONG FAMILY
- One doubts oneself more often.
THE 10 STEPS TO STRENGTHENING YOUR FAMILY
❑ “Get” that families are people, not perfect, probably learning how to be better, not there to give you everything you deserve or need; they need love and support from you.
❑ I’ve done everything possible to restore any family relationships which hurt me. It is okay with me not to spend time with family members who pain me.
❑ I have owned up to my role in problems between me and other family members.
❑ I operate from choice vs obligation or duty when doing things for my family.
❑ I have nothing negative/unresolved with any of my children.
❑ I have nothing negative/unresolved with my spouse/mate.
❑ I have nothing negative/unresolved with an ex.
❑ I have nothing negative/unresolved with a parent.
❑ I have nothing negative/unresolved with a relative.
❑ I have nothing negative/unresolved with a sibling.
