From a relationship with a co-worker to a marriage, everything is built on trust. Trust affects how we see the world, how safe we feel and how we approach new people and situations. It affects whether we’re willing to go the extra mile for a friend, relative, co-worker or even someone we’ve never met, but with whom we do business. When trust levels are high, we feel comfortable and accepted. When trust levels are low, we feel cautious and on edge.

Forgive and move on
To build trusting relationships, you must be able to forgive and move on. Let go of old arguments, resentments and issues from the past.
Communicate openly and honestly
You must be willing to communicate openly, honestly and freely, and to share your ideas, thoughts and concerns.
Learn to recognize whom to trust
The unfortunate fact is that not everyone can be trusted. Use your instincts, good judgment and interactions with people to determine whether or not someone can be trusted. If you feel uncomfortable, take time to figure out why you feel this way.
Always remember...to trust others, we need to be able to trust ourselves.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI just happend upon your page and am very glad I did. A lot of the info you have is very helpful. I appreciate the time you put into it. On this particular subject "Building Trust" I have a very hard time accepting everything you have written. I have been in a relationship where trust was constantly broken and it becomes very difficult to leave the past in the past.. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, it's just very hard. Anyways, thank you again for having this wonderful blog.
