I am speaking this week at my church about reconciliation. While I am approaching it from a religious/Christian perspective, I have been reminded about what reconciliation really is. I have been asking around and the standard answer I am getting is that reconciliation is a agreeable return to the way things were.
THIS IS THE WRONG ANSWER!
Reconciliation is moving into a new norm - it is not a return to the old norm. For a variety of reasons, reconciliation is required usually because a person needs to move away from a situation or relationship that has become unacceptable to them. The other party may or may not agree - they don't have to in order for you to step into the new norm.
A simple definition of Emotional Intelligence is the perception and management of self and others. Boundary establishment and enforcement is a healthy part of Emotional Intelligence. Boundary establishment and enforcement is also a part of healthy reconciliation.
Do you need some reconciliation? Would some healthy boundaries refresh some relationships for you?
