The seasons change without asking our permission—so do our relationships. Are you paying attention to the signs before the score gets away from you?
Schools are back in session. Football season is close by. The days are gradually getting shorter. They’re all signs that we will be soon be saying goodbye to summer and hola (Spanish for hello) to fall. Signs are all around us. What are the signs that your primary relationships are working? Can you spot them? Can you spot trouble signs or are you ignoring them? When we are aware of the signs in our lives we can take steps to eliminate the trouble spots and support the things that are working for us. It’s true in our relationships, health, and emotional well being.
Points to Ponder:
- What signs—big or small—tell you a relationship is thriving?
- Are there red flags you’ve chosen to ignore? Why?
- How can seasonal changes remind you to check in on your health, relationships, and emotional well-being?
- Do you act on signs right away or wait until the “game” is almost over?
- What’s one sign you’ll look for today in your own life?
