Give Me The Tools
Working in healthcare can have its rewards and challenges. Being a single woman can have its rewards and challenges as well. I know you work hard to maintain your lifestyle and I want you to know I see you girl. Navigating relationships while being a single woman in the healthcare field is no easy journey but it is one you have mastered. I want to give you just 3 simple tools that will make your journey that much more enjoyable. This article will be short, simple, and easy to understand but you will get so much information from it, I hope you’re ready.
The first tool in improving your relationships in your personal and professional life is to cultivate a spirit of genuineness. This looks like showing up as your most authentic self in every environment possible. It may not always feel safe to do this, but the trick is to know and believe that you are safe to be you no matter what. Once you do this, your environment will respond to you and all the forces working for you will help you to connect to both yourself and others in that moment.
The next tool you’ll need is the willingness to work with others in developing trust. Whether it is your romantic partner or a coworker, meeting the other person halfway to fulfill a shared desirable outcome will greatly improve your relationships. If the other person has to work too hard to reach you then they may not trust you as much and then you will not trust them either. This happens again because along with the genuine spirit you are either working toward partnership or creating tension in your environment.
The final tool you will need in building healthy relationships in your personal and professional lives is communication. When speaking to people in your family, or people on the job it can sometimes feel like they are speaking a different language. When this happens, it calls for a combination of the two previous tools used together. You will have to dance a little by both being yourself and meeting the other person halfway to build trust and understanding so that you can communicate with them. The good news is this is not always necessary. Sometimes you can communicate just by being genuine or just by building trust. Sometimes you and the other person really do speak the same language! That is a true blessing, and it is important to know these things.
