Building A Relationship With Yourself

Published: Dec. 5, 2019, midnight

Lyn is joined by coach and relationship expert, Bob Conlin, who for many years has been guiding people through the most important areas of life; specifically away from dark tragedy towards healthy romance. Bob underwent a journey of self-discovery some time ago, where he learned to embrace the person he truly was, he has joined the conversation with Lyn today to give some valuable advice about how you too can travel the road to self-discovery and build a great relationship with yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Developing a healthy relationship with himself was the first step Bob took on his path to becoming a successful coach. Discovering how to self-love enabled him to become his best self, Bob realised that this is a component missing in most of the people he meets. There’s a stigma that surrounds single life, when in reality it's essential to build a healthy relationship with yourself first before others. Attracting a quality partner comes naturally when you've discovered how to love yourself, when you know yourself well and are living an honest and fulfilling life. Romantic relationships are then just the “icing on the cake” Setbacks, challenges and issues are opportunities to learn. They are lessons from which we can draw experience and wisdom. We do not have to remain in a “victim mentality”. Instead we can choose to learn, share and grow. When you’re very clear on what you want, when you are completely in tune with yourself, your attraction levels massively increase. Confidence is very appealing. BEST MOMENTS ‘I found myself coming home after a day at work, and missing something…' ‘I began to know more about me’ ‘When you discover all of “you”, the rest naturally follows’ ‘Are we victims? Or can we take full responsibility? Can we be the conductor of our life?'
