We think someone else is abandoning us, but in reality, we stay with the people who abandon us out of habit. When we live our lives in this drama, its exhausting and creates discord in the balance of work and life.
How Feelings of Abandonment in Relationships Disrupt Our Work Life Balance
Here is an example of how work life balance is disrupted when the buckets aren’t filled and you explore feelings of abandonment in a relationship:
In this example, dis-ease is caused in the bucket #1 (listening to our body and our own intuition), we aren’t loving ourselves (bucket #3) letting people treat us this way. We aren’t practicing self care (bucket #4) because if we were, we would have taken care of our abandonment wounds. We most definitely aren’t practicing boundaries (bucket #5) or the other person would have stopped the hurtful behavior. (Click here for a free training on boundaries).
