Relationships/partnerships
are important to me because they make life so much easier. You have to have positive
relationships at the work place, because you can get different insight and knowledge
from your co-works. If you are struggling with something work related it is
comforting to know that you have someone in the same atmosphere that
understands what is going on. In your personal life it is good to have good relationships with
the people closest to you because you never know what life will throw at you,
so when you have great relationships with people you never have to go through
hard times alone.
I have several
relationships in my life that are important to me, but I am not going to address
them in this post because it will be a contradiction of my post “Personal
Childhood Web” for July 2015, feel free to take a look at it. As of right now, I
am at a point in my life where my most important relationship is with my
daughter. From the day I laid eyes on
her I knew that my life was going to change for the better. I have now became:
a role model, a teacher, a provider, a friend, a playmate, a doctor, and so
much more, but most importantly a mother. I have made a promise to myself to be
the best mother I can be and never fail her. Everything that I do now, I do it with
her in mind, including deciding to continue my education. Even though she is
only a year old, I am developing a positive relationship. After work we have a hour of play time together, dinner where we enjoy a meal together, bath time where we sing songs, story time, then bed. Our day to day routine is establishing a bond between us. As for my family members
in my childhood web they are all partnerships, because they all work together to
make sure whatever decision I make in life is one that I really want. They help
and support me in whatever I do.
Brittany,
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is very fortunate to have such a caring mother. It sounds like you have created a nice routine and are having fun raising her.
As far as relationships in the workplace, one question that is asked on our employee survey each year is, "Do you have a best friend at work?" This question is asked because it is important to have someone at work with whom to talk and discuss issues.
Enjoy your daughter while she is young. She will grow up quickly enough!

Thank you for sharing about your relationship with your daughter. You are a very passionate mother. As a mother myself, there is nothing that compares to the relationship you have with your children. Having three children aged 10, 5, and 3 people often ask me whats my favorite age/stage. All the ages and stages are my favorite. I truly enjoy watching them grow into their own individuals and watching our relationship develop as they mature. I recently read an article about the brain development changes that occur when a women becomes a mother. I thought I would share. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/01/what-happens-to-a-womans-brain-when-she-becomes-a-mother/384179/
ReplyDeleteBrittany I enjoyed your blog. You shared some of the most important factors that energize relationships/partnerships. Positive interaction is important. Simply get off on the wrong foot can make for a strained relational interactions especially when we are dealing with parents who are entrusted us to take care of and educate their child. You also made mention of support. I feel that is important in personal relationships as well as professional. We work better together when we are working for the common good and we have the support of one another. Thank you for reminding me of these two key components of building relationships/partnerships that last.
