The Path to Healthy Relationships Cleone Reed

THE PATH TO HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS: IT ALL BEGINS WITH YOU The poster that prompted the creation of this book by Cleone Reed can be described as "a book on one page," "an eye chart for healthy relationships," an art print, or a poster. This little book examines each part of the poster in detail and relates each word on the poster to your own personal growth. The premise is that until we ourselves embrace the characteristics we want in our relationships, we will merely attract mirrors of our own qualities. If you want a healthy relationship, it is up to you to be a healthy person yourself. Whether you want to attract a healthy relationship into your life or to improve your relationship with a partner you already have, a family member, or your friends, the poster (which fits in a standard 24" x 36" frame) and this little book can serve as tools to do your personal growth work and become the person you want to be. Hang the poster on a wall in your home, teenager's bedroom, office, or wherever you gather with a group of people, and use it as a prompt in discussions and/or in doing the written exercises in this book. To create a healthy relationship, it is important to be the kind of person with whom you want a relationship. It doesn't make sense to be selfish and greedy and expect to attract a generous, giving person into your life... but that is often what a selfish and greedy person seeks to enable their shadow side. On the other hand, a kind, fun-loving person who loves to travel attracting a like-minded person can lead a very fulfilling life. To create a healthy relationship, cultivate the positive qualities that you want a person to have so that you may attract your healthy "mirror" to you... or improve the relationship(s) you already have.
