These individuals generally say that they want to be in a loving relationship, yet they keep picking “the wrong people.”Susan, 38, sought my help because she was in two relationships at the same time. This didn’t feel right to her, so she knew that she had to make a choice. Yet she could not seem to decide which relationship was right for her. Susan had been in a relationship with Sha... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/361 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/361 Sat, 23 May 2009 04:08:02 PST When we fall in love and experience the first blush of romance, it seems to us that life couldn’t be better. The world seems perfect and rosy, and we cannot bear to think of ever living without our partner. Yet, the reality is that more often than not there is trouble in paradise; after a period of time spent together, the rosy hue dissipates only to be replaced by a sepia toned world.

We neglect ourselves and eventually resent those who have been on the receiving end of our love and attention. What we fail to realize is the importance of putting ourselves first. No, it is not selfish. In fact, it’s impossible to meet the needs of others effectively without first being balanced in our own lives. Loving yourself will not only prove to be a positive experience, but it will improve your re... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/417 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/417 Sat, 23 May 2009 04:08:07 PST When we plant a tree, we take care of that plant from the smallest stage of growth. We not only nurture that plant with water, air and fertilizers, but also protect it from any damage. Friendship is one such plant.
