What, after many bitter experiences in a relationship, should be the next step?

Life is a beautiful journey where we have experiences (it can be termed good, bad, ugly). Considering this, we need to learn from our experiences.

Ideally, this should be easy but it is not.

Once we get a specific experience, we tend to keep repeating it and feel that the outcome is destined.

To break this cycle, we need to do the following

1. Take a step-back from the scenario (like dating)
2. Take a clean sheet of paper and write down
   1. Expectations
   2. Good Learning
   3. Bad & Ugly Learning
   4. What events triggered outcomes (this will require unbiased analysis without any blame game or naming or finger pointing)
   5. What could have been done to avoid these events
3. Once this is jotted down, stick it in place where you can see it all the time
4. Imbibe the entire thing
5. Focus on what you do not need, this will help you narrow down the funnel and take you towards what you need

In this exercise, please understand the difference between – need and want. Need can be met but wants can never be met.

Having realistic needs will aid in getting you where you intend to go.

Hope this helps

All the best

God Bless!
