While you are trying to find ways and working to save the relationship, it is essential that you think about yourself and develop self-worth. Finding your sense of worth helps you to set your purpose in life. In fact this exercise in establishing self-worth is good to you whether you have a partner or not. This helps you establish and define yourself. When you have a thorough appreciation of yourself you are better able to establish balance in your life and define your character.
Knowing yourself thoroughly will also help you determine your purpose in life or your objective. Once you know your purpose in life, you are able to determine your direction. Having a purpose is like having a compass that will direct you through all of your decisions and actions. You may be feeling lost right now after the loss of your love. And in your venture to try to save the relationship, you are left muddled and at a loss for the right action to take. Stop for a while and go through this exercise of finding your life's mission. Only then will you be able to get your bearings and be able to make a determination if indeed trying to save the relationship is the direction that you should take.
As you go through this exercise of defining yourself and your purpose, you will start to bring in stability and balance in your life. And in your journey to self-discovery, you are able to delve into your inner self. As you get to know yourself better, you begin to cultivate self-confidence and begin to experience the power to take control.
When you are self-confident, you exhibit a particular sexiness that makes you more alluring even to your ex-partner. You may have been taking the laid-back role for so long in your relationship and this may have been the reason why you and your partner fell apart. When you are passive, you lose your own self-worth, satisfied with being controlled and manipulated. And this can lead to loss of self-respect. And when you have lost self-respect how can you expect your partner to hold you in high regard too?
You may have been concentrating your efforts largely on how to get your partner back and save the relationship, but start off with yourself first. The answer may just be lying asleep within you. Get that confidence back and begin empowering yourself.
When you know yourself and have a definite understanding of your purpose in life, you strengthen your mental, spiritual and emotional foundation. You know what you want and you are able to identify more clearly what you need to do to get this. You will feel better about yourself and rely on yourself more than on others. And this self-sufficiency can give you the needed skill to tackle the problems that life presents to you, including relationship problems. And this will help you decide if it is really worth it tosave the relationship.
