Your Most Vital Personal Relationships
What
is it? Beyond self awareness, our world now
demands collaborative awareness; how can we do this fast-paced
dance without stepping on each other’s toes? The Blueprint
of WE is a new way to build, sustain and transition personal
relationships with trust and respect in order to have more
effortless day-to-day interactions and build resilience into
your life. You personally write the document, along with each
person in the relationship, preferably at the beginning of
the relationship. It captures what draws each individual to
the situation, your personal preferences and expectations;
and it provides a path back to peace if the need arises. It
is often being used to replace or enhance traditional legal
contracts. It gives you the power to be the architect of your
life, rather than squeezing into pre-established relationship
definitions, and then creates the space for a relationship
to continually evolve and change to fit the people involved.
1. The
Story of Us
Share what draws you to these people and this situation.
2. Interaction
Styles and Warning Signs
The “blueprint of me,” how I work best, what I look like on a good
day/bad day, and what I might need that I couldn’t ask for in the moment. 3. Expectations
Core values and non-negotiables, the structure you need to create and sustain
this relationship. 4. Questions
to Return to Peace
A tool to return to peace if the need arises, makes the difficult times shorter
and easier. 5. Short
and Long-Term Agreements
How long you’re willing to go before you make peace. An agreement of no
outright harm, a willingness to keep an open window if the unimaginable happens.
Creating a healthy relationship
with the chatterbox in your head:
the "Blueprint of ME" One of the most important relationships
that you can foster is the relationship you have with yourself;
you know, that little voice inside your head that can spiral
you down or keep you engaged and
in the zone? Awareness is the first step to creating and
maintaining healthy behaviors, and creating a Blueprint of
ME is a dynamic way to work on who you are with yourself,
and how you show up with others. Find out more about
building the Blueprint
of ME to
be able to bring your best self to all your relationships. Read

"There
are many relationship situations in your life that
will be impacted by creating even one Blueprint of
WE, with one important person in your life, be they
spouse, friend, parent, child, roommate, or even former
spouse. Are you ready to create a state of grace
with someone integral in your life?"

Best
Case Scenario: Create a Blueprint of WE
at the beginning of your relationships.
People find
that when they create a document at the beginning of the
relationship, several things are set in place to ensure
the health of the relationship into the future:
Express in writing
how you see this most amazing person in front of you and
your vision for this relationship
Share who you are
and what you need so that you’re
not stepping on each others toes
Give yourself the
space to not take each other’s difficult
behavior personally — “That’s just how
Mary deals with stress.”
With these foundations, you will custom
design your relationships, rather than trying to fit yourselves
into prescribed definitions of what relationship is "supposed"
to look like.
"I use this
to work with couples and this tool is invaluable to help people
understand each other and learn to relate to each other with
greater integrity and respect in any relationship. As a facilitator,
I learn more about myself and everyone I work with, and I become
more keenly atuned to how to work with each individual. This
tool is extraordinarily helpful and I strongly recommend
it!!!"
