Relationships: How to Choose More Carefully

Many people spend so much time and energynon their love lives, striving for the idealnrelationship. While self-love is the only truenlove in our view, it’s understandable why thenfeeling of being loved and accepted by anothe
is so desirable.

Along the path to finding compatible love,neveryone has their share of adverse relationshipnexperiences and some people are fated to havenmore than others. Although challenging lovenconnections seem to only complicate you
life, in time it’s easier to see how they’venhelped you learn and grow.

Sometimes the best path seems to be to gonforward with a challenging relationship evennif you are aware ahead of time that it could benproblematic. Other times a relationship maynseem wonderful at first, but then you realizenyou didn’t know the person (or yourself) asnwell as you thought you did, you end upnbringing out the worst in each other, or younsimply grow apart.

Our research and work firmly indicaten“negative” relationship situations are karmic.
Even so, ultimately you do have f.ree will tonreact to the situations and conditions in you
life, and the more in tune with yourself younare, the easier it will be to choose andnnavigate your relationships with compassionnand understanding.

Self-Exploration, and Relationship Traditions

If you avoid self-exploration and solitude atnall costs, and you place great importance onnrelationship traditions, it will be much morendifficult for you to avoid the bad apples andnemotionally, physically, mentally, financiallynand, or psychically draining relationships. Anfear of being alone and an avoidance of self-nanalysis will cause you to overlook obviousnsigns and become involved with or remainnwith people who, all things considered, worknagainst you.

As disce
ed through astrological andnnumerological comprehensive chartingnmethods, handwriting analysis, and psychicninsight, some people are born much morenrelationship oriented, with scarce emotionalnindependence (or are even prone toncodependence). Hence, situations involvingnunhealthy relationships decisively manifestnas part of their predestined path. Thoughneven in these cases, they have the option ofnusing f.ree will to make the most of it all.

If you fit into this category, one possiblenremedy to help limit toxic relationships isnhaving goals that supersede “The One” ideal.
School, career, your children, fitness,nvolunteering, hobbies, or other such things onnwhich to focus your time and energy could helpnyou make better decisions in your love life bynhelping you to detach and view it all from anhigher perspective. At the same time, we’venfound that people will do as they are fated to dontime and time again, but at least awareness cannassuage dilemmas and you can work withinnyour destined framework for more desirableneffects.

Knowing Thyself and Meditatio

If you are one of the few who know themselvesnvery well on levels other than consciousnunderstanding, or meditate regularly to the pointnof consistently experiencing divine insights,nyou’ll be able to perceive quite a bit aboutnpotential matches before getting involved withnthem. This will also give you a head start in hownyou approach and respond to people andnsituations in your life, allowing you to use you
f.ree will more constructively.

For example, after meeting a new relationship,nfriendship, or employment possibility, you’ll benable to more easily pause, step back, contemplatenthe situation, and consider if it’s worth the timenand energy and if it would be supportive of you
goals. But maybe you’re also wise enough tonknow that one’s heart can interfere withndecision-making.

Metaphysical Tools, Advisors, and Eremites

If you consult with a metaphysical advisor orneven actively apply tools such as astrology,nnumerology, handwriting analysis, or tarot, or nwork with dream analysis, for example, younmay know quite a bit about potential matchesneven before you meet them. Higher thannaverage psychic abilities can also allow younto perceive the “good” and “bad,” or at leastnwhat you need to know, about people andnsituations ahead of time. Unfortunately, thisnmay often cause you to be forced to decidenbetween the complexities of the connection andnbeing alone, and remaining single may seemnlike the better choice more often than not.

This dynamic could partially explainnwhy “wise women,” “old sages,” and othe
mystically inclined individuals are oftenndepicted as living alone, such as in the forestnor on a mountain top; they see beyond thensurface, detect the spiritual reasons at the start,nand opting out might seem more appealing. Ofncourse, they may also be alone because theynenjoy it, their collective natal and timingnindications symbolically choose this for them,nthey are simply taking a break betweennrelationships, or they have so many friendsn(guides, spirits, etc.) in the unseen dimensionsnthat taking on ones in the here and now maynseem unnecessary or pose too much of anburden.

There will always be “good” and “bad” apples innthe barrel of your love life and in the rest of you
life. Expanding your awareness will help guidenyou to make smarter choices, and when the onlynoption is a connection that lacks a reasonablenlevel of compatibility, use your f.ree will tonaccept where you are and navigate to a bette
place. Although due to your personal fate, younmay not be able to manifest more desirablencircumstances right away, but eventually you’llnbe able to make the best of even the most tryingntimes.
