Restful Relationships is not just about how you relate to other people; it includes how you relate to everything you encounter as well as to yourself, but the foundation really is how you relate to others. “No man is an island”; we crave connection; we literally can’t live without it. How we relate to our bodies and the world around us is directly impacted by the people we are connected to even in the most casual ways, which makes the quality of our personal relationships very important. Everyone needs to have personal relationships where they feel safe enough that they can let their guard down, relax, and rest, because that is where we find our healthiest, happiest selves. Unfortunately, many of us don’t have those types of relationships because we don’t realize that such relationships take planning and work; they do not occur by accident. And each person must do the work for themselves, but it’s worth it.
