Clean out the Relationship Closet!

There are times in everyone's life when a relationship has outlasted its welcome.  Sometimes those relationships are personal, sometimes business.  So what should be the deal breakers when deciding who's to go and who's to stay?

  1. Do you feel your relationship is mutually respectful?
  2. Do you trust the person or institution?
  3. Do you look forward to interactions with the person?
  4. Does the person own when s/he does something wrong?  Meaning, do they apologize or just make you feel bad because they ignore your feelings and needs?
  5. Do you seem to have a core affinity for each other?
  6. Do you dread hearing from them?
  7. When you see it's them on caller ID, is your choice most often to let it go to voice mail even when you can take the call?
  8. When you get off the phone or out of a meeting with the person, do you sigh with relief?
Check it out with your people.  Life is too short to invite anxiety into it!  Surround yourself with the people who LOVE you!!!
