Letting Go of Resignation in Your Relationsiips.

The definition of Resignation goes like this - You are in a situation or relationship and you feel like there's no way to move either forward or out - you fell like you have exhausted all the possiblities and you just give up. You resign yourself to the situation.

Of course there is a cost to this option. Vitality, self expression, level of being present, honesty, integrity, passion....do you want me to continue?

In relationships you can become resigned when you feel like your care for another person just brings you more worry and stress. This is usally because the results or reaction you expected to happen out of your love and care, just didn't happen. This is called an "Unfufilled Expectation". You usually feel dissapointment and emotionally drained when your expectations are unfulfilled.

Raising your awareness of your expectation of reward for your care (now that is an ideologically incorrect thing to admit to!) by acknowledging it and then taking responsibility for it, sets you free.

Being resigned takes you out of the game of life and sidelines you, wasting precious time and opportunities for productive action.
