Day 11: Work on a Relationship:
One of the skills in the Interpersonal Effectiveness module is “Attending to Relationships”. Learn to work on a relationship and to maintain it long-term.
If you are harboring any resentment over things that have been happening in relationships that you value, then think about the items you are harboring as well as why you may be holding them. Next, write some pros and cons of sharing vs not sharing the information (in a respectful, calm and caring way) with the other person.
Learn to reach out in trust and develop & maintain friendships. When we value these connections, we are less likely to sabotage them.
