Most of us have many dreams about what relationships will be like or should be like. We've lived with these dreams forever, so when the real thing happens, and we find ourselves in a relationship reality can be quite a shock. Some people feel tricked, trapped or like failures. Others do everything under the sun to change their partner, change themselves, or figure out why their marriage is different from the way they thought it would be.The first step in truly understanding relationships, however, is to realize that what we dream about or imagine, is not necessarily what is going to happen to us. And that doesn't mean there is something wrong with ourselves or our relationship. It just means that we didn't know what to truly expect.Today, I am going to provide you with some free relationship advice in the form of six facts that no one ever told you about relationships that is important for you to understand. These principles have provided marriage help by helping you discover that your relationship can heal naturally when certain core issues are addressed.
Number 1) Relationships are not static.They can, will and must change. No two people stay the same during the course of a life time. Their needs, wishes, and interests vary. It is unreasonable to expect that relationship partners will always grow and change in the same ways, at the same time. This has to be accepted and included in the relationship. It is not necessary for the two of you to always think the same way, like the same things, or be in the same place at the same time. Just because you may have different tastes or interests doesn't mean that the two of you aren't in love. For relationships to remain vital and healthy it is necessary to have a core of mutual interests, activities and desires, but, it is also crucial to make room for differences between you. This doesn't necessarily mean you are growing apart. It may just mean that you are growing, and will have even more love and understanding to bring to your partner in the long run.
Number 2) Romantic feelings of excitement, intoxication and infatuation necessarily wax and wane.Many people expect to feel "in love" with their partner on a daily basis. By this they mean having romantic feelings of excitement and infatuation, feeling as though they can't wait to see the person, and miss them if they're gone. These individuals must learn the crucial difference between loving a partner and being "in love". Romantic feelings of excitement, intoxication and infatuation necessarily wax and wane. There are times they appear and are very enjoyable -other times they fade into the background. This does not mean something is wrong or that you do not love each other. Love is not based upon fluctuating feelings, but upon a solid foundation of mutual respect, consideration and communication. Although it is wonderful and important to set aside time for romantic time together, the daily on-goingness of life requires a much deeper understanding of what it means to truly love. Love is often tested in the fire, and frequently sacrifice is needed. In order to truly love, one must grow as a person, and that is what relationships are for – to help us grow in our ability to discover what love really is..
Number 3) Love is not dependency. It's all right to be who you are, be different from him, have friends and activities of your own. It's also all right, to give him time with his friends and private space. Love always includes trust of the other, and the knowledge that the more your partner is able to enjoy others, the more he will be able to enjoy being with you. The less you suffocate and possess him, the more he will want to be with you. The less you let him suffocate you, the more you will love him and the more he will respect you. It's fine to be two, separate, whole people. From that basis, a lot of love can grow.
Number 4) Being angry doesn't mean you do not love each other.Some feel that as soon as they are angry with their partner or their partner is angry with them the love has gone out the window. Of course, if anger goes on for too long, or is not dealt with properly, it certainly can erode the quality of a relationship. But being angry is not a sign that he doesn't love you, or you him. It is simply a sign that it is time for good, open, honest, careful communication to take place. On-going communication is the heart and soul of every good relationship.When we bottle up our needs and feelings and pretend to be who we are not, then all that has been hidden will explode through anger. But, when we recognize anger, irritation or resentment as it arises, and freely discuss our needs or responses with our partner, not only does the anger diminish, but our relationship grows closer. Take anger as a sign that you are being an opportunity to communicate more and know each other better. Let it make you closer, not further apart.
Number 5) Even though you're together all the time, you still must make time for one another.Actually, you must actually carve out more time for each other when you live together. Living together it's easy to take one another's presence for granted. But just because the person is there physically, does not necessarily mean you're sharing quality time. Children, errands, pressures at work and social obligations can create a whir of activity, but not intimate time between the two of you. Carve out intimate time when the two of you are alone. Go some place special. Make time to talk and hug. Make time to have fun alone. This is a wonderful refresher to every marriage and should be done at least weekly.
Number 6) Being together for a long time doesn't have to take the magic away. It's wonderful to have someone at your side, who you share experiences with year after year. There is no way to replace a person who you've gone through many years with, sharing common experiences and memories. The sense of continuity and trust that can develop between you is a jewel. It is wonderful to wake up each morning, knowing this person is at your side. As the years pass you know each other better and better, whatever happens you both know there is someone there for you, who understands what you are going through. As our ability to share grows, the burdens of life diminish greatly, and the joys intensify as well.
If you're tired of feeling "less than", afraid of making and achieving your desires and goals, feel that no matter what you do it is never "good enough", then your self esteem could do with a boost!
Having low self esteem takes an enormous toll on the quality of your life. You take fewer risks, which limits your opportunities, both personally and professionally. You are reluctant to voice or acknowledge your needs. You are probably also haunted by past mistakes and making future ones.
It doesn't have to be like this, the tools you've used to (unconsciously) lower your self esteem are the same ones you use to raise it. The following gives you ten tips on improving your self esteem and improve the quality of your life!
SELF ESTEEM IMPROVEMENT TIPS
1. Stop comparing yourself to other people. If you play this game, you're likely to compare yourself in a negative way and set yourself up for continuing to have low self esteem. Why continue to play a game where you've set the rules against yourself, so that you're less likely to win!
2. Don't keep putting yourself down! You can't develop high self esteem if you constantly repeat negative comments about your skills and abilities. Other people will pick up on it and take on board the negative way you view yourself. How are they likely to treat you? Also don't beat yourself up over "mistakes" that you've made - learn how to reframe them so that they work for you.
3. Using affirmations is an excellent way to raise your self esteem. It's the opposite of no 1. If you can programme your mind to repeat negative phrases about yourself (and see how effective that's been!), then you can certainly get into the habit of continually thinking (and saying to yourself) positive statements about you. When you do, allow yourself to experience the positive feelings about your statements. Also use inspirational quotes to assist you.
4. Accept all compliments graciously. Don't dismiss or ignore them. When you do you give yourself the message that you do not deserve or are not worthy of praise, which reflects low self esteem. It also means that others will become more reluctant to praise or acknowledge your abilities, if you don't.
5. Take advantage of and use life coaching programmes, workshops, and develop a more positive attitude. Whatever material you see, read acts as subliminal learning, which means that it will plant itself in your mind and dominate your behaviour. Talk about food for thought - what diet is your mind on? Is it a nourishing one?
6. Mix with positive and supportive people. Who you associate with influences your thoughts, actions and behaviour - another form of subliminal learning. Negative people can put you and your ideas down and it lowers your self esteem. On the other hand, when you are surrounded by supportive people, you feel better about yourself, which helps you in improving self esteem. Learn how to develop your positive personal support network.
7. Acknowledge your positive qualities and skills. Too many people with low self esteem constantly put themselves down (back to no 1 again!) and don't appreciate their many positive attributes. Learn how to truly affirm and value your many excellent qualities. If you find this difficult, ask others to tell you. They'll come up with things you would never have imagined!
8. Stop putting up with stuff! Not voicing or acknowledging your needs means that you are probably tolerating more than you should. Find out what you're putting up with and zap those tolerations. By doing so, you're giving yourself the message that you're worth it.
9. Make positive contributions to others. This doesn't mean that you constantly do for others what they could be doing for themselves. But when you do make a positive contribution to others, you begin to feel more valuable, which increases your sense of your own value and raises your self esteem.
10. Involve yourself in work and activities that you love. So many people with low self esteem stop doing those activities that they most enjoy. Even if you're not in a position to to make immediate changes in your career, you can still devote some of your leisure time to enjoyable hobbies and activities.
Say to someone, "Tell me about yourself," and what you are most likely to get is a description of their body, their job, perhaps their hobbies, likes and dislikes. But is this who we really are? All of these descriptions are about something outside, something other than the true Self. We have become so distracted by the world and its many facets that we forget, or rather choose not to look at who we really are. The best way to begin this is by defining what we are not!! We are not a body. We are not a job. We are not an illness. We are not a socio-economic status. We are not a parent or child. We are not a skin color. We are not an ethnicity. We are not a religion. We are not even our beliefs. All of these things describe something outside the Self. But if none of these things truly describe us...
How do we find who we are?
The answer is simple. We must look within. We must quiet our minds and our lives of the chaos around us and connect to the essence we are. Take a look at your life. Is there disorder or chaos in any part of it? Perhaps every part of it? If so, know that you are giving in to an external focus rather than being centered in your true essence. To connect with this essence, we must be willing to enter the Silence of our Soul.
There are many ways in which we can choose to enter the Silence, yet first we must overcome our fear of being alone with ourselves. It is our fear of our thoughts about who we are, what life is and our judgments of others that keeps from entering the Silence of our Soul. When we give up these fears we discover that we were only frightened of our own thoughts. It is only by entering the Silence of the Soul that we can truly connect to the Tree of Life and fill ourselves with the Light.
Let us dedicate some time each day to enter the Silence of our Soul and to connect with our true essence of Light. As we each do this watch how Peace and Order begin to pervade our lives.
Most of us are familiar with the idea of keeping it real and have an intuitive sense about what that means. People who keep it real don't hide behind a mask to keep themselves safe from their fear of how they might be perceived. They don't present a false self in order to appear more perfect, more powerful, or more independent. People who keep it real present themselves as they truly are, the good parts and the parts most of us would rather hide, sharing their full selves with the people who are lucky enough to know them.
Being real in this way is not an easy thing to do as we live in a culture that often shows us images of physical and material perfection. As a result, we all want to look younger, thinner, wealthier, and more successful. We are rewarded externally when we succeed at this masquerade, but people who are real remind us that, internally, we suffer. Whenever we feel that who we are is not enough and that we need to be bigger, better, or more exciting, we send a message to ourselves that we are not enough. Meanwhile, people who are not trying to be something more than they are walk into a room and bring a feeling of ease, humor, and warmth with them. They acknowledge their wrinkles and laugh at their personal eccentricities without putting themselves down.
People like this inspire us to let go of our own defenses and relax for a moment in the truth of who we really are. In their presence, we feel safe enough to take off our masks and experience the freedom of not hiding behind a barrier. Those of us who were lucky enough to have a parent who was able to keep it real may find it easier to be that way ourselves. The rest of us may have to work a little harder to let go of our pretenses and share the beauty and humor of our real selves. Our reward for taking such a risk is that as we do, we will attract and inspire others, giving them the permission to be real too!
What Is True Love? by Candace Talmadge _______________________________
Want True Love? Define It First
True Love - Most of us search high and low for true love in that one ideal relationship. We struggle over it and with it, yearn for it, craft books, music, and poems about it--all without a clear understanding of what we seek or why we want it so desperately.
We're not even sure what love is. How do we define it? The definition of love is as unique and as varied as every individual who experiences it. That's a big part of the problem. Love feels different for each person. So how do we tell if the one we love actually returns the favor? After all, our loved one may offer us love that does not quite feel like what we know as love.
To clear up at least some of the confusion, let us establish a basic definition for true love. The truest, purest love is unconditional. Such love is also the simplest form of love because it has no hooks, no standards, no expectations, no conditions attached to it whatsoever. No complications, no hidden clauses or agendas, no restraints or exceptions.
Unconditional love is true love, and unconditional love is healing and uplifting--the ultimate source of all life. True/unconditional love sustains and nurtures life, joy, peace, and freedom. That is why we look so hard for true love. Deep in our souls, we long to be free, loved, and secure.
The very simplicity of unconditional/true love is also the source of its power. Lacking all limitations, unconditional love is limitless and endless. Unconditional love is simply another way of saying God, the infinite, the divine, the source, known by many names. Every major religion, in fact, asserts that God is love.
Unconditional love--God in other words--is so simple that most of us find it very suspicious if not downright impossible to understand or accept. We're certain there has to be a catch somewhere, just as we're convinced that some people, somehow and in some way, have done something so horrible or unforgiveable that they no longer merit God's or anyone else's love. Do we damn child abusers? What about terrorists who cause death on a mass scale? Do we condemn corporate polluters? Illegal drug users? Homosexuals? Christian fundamentalists? Those of differing faiths or races?
Our personal litany of the unlovable/unforgiveable says far more about the limitations of our love than about anyone else. It also shows us that the love we give and receive is constricted and diminished by judgments, standards, or expectations. Once we impose even one tiny judgment, standard, or expectation on love, it devolves away from being true/unconditional.
Trapped in the painful web of conditional love, we devote our time and energy to looking for love in all the wrong places. We keep hoping to find true love somewhere--out there--outside of ourselves, in someone else' eyes. But that is not the place to find true love. Only when we look within will we find what we truly seek--love that heals and sustains us and can even help heal our world!
_______________________________ Love Without Condition by Sandy Stevenson _______________________________
I love you as you are, as you seek to find your own special way to relate to the world, or the way you feel that is right for you. It is important that you are the person you want to be and not someone that I or others think you should be..
I realize that I cannot know what is best for you although perhaps sometimes I think I do. I've not been where you have been, viewing life from that angle you have, I do not know what you have chosen to learn, how you have chosen to learn it, with whom, or in what time period. I have not walked life looking through your eyes, so how can I know what you need.
I allow you to be in the world without a thought or word of judgment from me about the deeds you undertake. I see no error in the things you say and do, in this place where I am. I see that there are many ways to perceive and experience the different facets of our world. I allow without reservation the choices you make in each moment.
I make no judgment of this for if I were to deny your right to evolution, then I would deny that right to myself and all others. To those who would choose a way I cannot walk, whilst I may not choose to add my power and my energy to this way, I will never deny you the gift of love that God has bestowed within me for all creation, as I love you so I shall be loved; as I sow, so I shall reap.
I allow you the universal right of free will to walk your own path, creating steps or to sit a while if that is what is right for you. I will make no judgment of these steps, whether they are large or small, nor light or heavy or that they lead up or down, for this is just my viewpoint. I see you do nothing and might judge it to be unworthy. And yet, it may be that you bring great healing as you stand blessed by the light of God.
I cannot always see the higher picture of divine order. For it is the inalienable right of all life to choose their own evolution and with great love I acknowledge your right to determine your future. In humility I bow to the realization that the way I see is best for me does not have to mean that it is also right for you. I know that you are led as I am following the inner excitement to know your own path.
I know that the many races, religions, customs, nationalities and beliefs within our world bring us great richness and allow us the benefit of teachings of such diverseness. I know we each learn in our own unique way in order to bring that love and wisdom back to the whole. I know that if there were only one way to do something, there would need to be only one person. I will not only love you if you behave in a way I think you should, or believe in those things I believe in. I understand you are truly my brother and sister though you may have been born in a different place and believe in another God than I.
The love I feel is for all of God's world. I know that every living thing is part of God and I feel a love deep within every person, and every tree, and flower, every bird, river, ocean and for all the creatures in all the world. I live my life in loving service being the best me I can, becoming wiser in the perfection of divine truth, becoming happier in the joy of unconditional love!
Healing Discomfort by Joe Hurley _________________________________
Discomfort is not a problem to be solved, not an enemy to be fought, not a monster to escape from; but instead an energetic relationship within, to be owned with courage and grace, and transformed through total acceptance, divine wisdom and love.
We all experience discomfort at one point or another in our lives. And many people have been experiencing some intense discomfort lately. In this article, I focus on the subject of healing discomfort.
As an energy sensitive person, I sense disharmony in very acute ways. I sense disharmony both internally within myself and externally within the dynamics around me. Earlier in life, I became lost in the discomfort I sensed. I became so lost that I adopted an identity of being a victim. Thank goodness those days are gone. Today, I have expanded my consciousness and my identity beyond the role of victim and beyond any role that I choose to play. Today, from an expanded place of consciousness, I have much more freedom and choice with regard to the energy dynamics that I choose to work with, play with, and create.
Today, when I sense disharmony and discomfort, I take the time to really face it, sense it, listen to it and learn from it. And then, I shift. Instead of getting stuck in it, I open up to my higher self and I ask for divine wisdom. Sometimes, I get clear information immediately to help me. Other times I get nothing, but hours later when I am not thinking about it, the wisdom and support that I need to resolve the disharmony comes in to heal the discomfort. In every case, when I ask for divine wisdom and help, I always receive the help that I need.
There are many gifts that come from the higher frequencies of divine awareness. My favorites are the energies of courage, grace, wisdom, and love. These are the tools of lighter consciousness that always come when I ask for help. These are the energies of light that are available to all of us when we choose to open and heal.
We are each beings of light consciousness. When we accept the lighter and higher vibrational parts of our self, we heal, and we begin to create the loving joyful life that we truly desire.
If you are experiencing discomfort right now then turn and look at it directly. Listen to it. Sense it. Feel it. Hear what it saying and know it completely. Discomfort is communicating to you. Open to this communication. You may not like the dynamic now, but open to the wisdom of the communication and respect the source of your discomfort. Discomfort exists for a reason. As you understand this, you gain the key to healing your discomfort.
If you get confused by your discomfort or lost in your reaction to your discomfort, then remember to open to the wisdom and love of your higher consciousness. And remember to let go of control. Let the clarity and support come in ways never before imagined.
There is an unlimited supply of courage, grace, wisdom, and unconditional love flowing through your fields to help and support you. These energies are free and available to you, right now. These energies are you. With courage, you can face anything. With divine wisdom, you can become clear in any situation. With grace you can let go and accept unconditional love within any dynamic.
Simply take a moment and ask your divine energies to guide you, inspire you, and heal you. Give permission, open, and receive... This is your time!
Creating a Happy Ending by Jennifer Hoffman __________________________________
Every story should have a happy ending and every situation should have a joyful and pleasant result. If that were true we would not experience pain, we would never experience betrayal and disappointment and every relationship would be loving. That sounds good in fairy tales but it is not always true in our reality. In real life, we have painful experiences, relationships often cause our greatest heartbreaks and disappointments and our happy endings do not materialize. But is that really true? Does a happy ending always have to look like the fairy tale or can we re-define happy endings so that we find them in every situation?
INTERPRETATION - Our definition of a happy ending determines how we will interpret the outcome of our lessons. And we will then judge them as good or bad, depending on how we feel about them and the final result. What if we defined a happy ending as something that provided us with such an enriching learning experience that it changed the course of our life? What if a happy ending meant that we gained knowledge that would help us make more powerful, informed and enlightened decisions in the future? What if a happy ending meant that we became so confident in our abilities that we could step forward into our divinity with absolute faith and trust in our Source connection? That would indeed be a happy ending.
IN EVERY SITUATION - There is a happy ending in every situation but it is not always happy, in the sense of how 'happy' is generally defined. Sometimes happy endings are sad, involve loss and disappointment, teach us that we can't control anyone or their behavior or show us that we are limited in our ability to heal or change others. Sometimes happy endings show us that we have powerless results when we make powerless choices. But they are empowering, help us make different choices and can take us out of our personal cycles of karmic lessons and healing. Just as we create our reality, we also create our own definition of happy endings.
CROSSROADS - In taking responsibility for our reality we can look at these situations as setups, where we deliberately created something that was difficult and painful. Then we move into failure mode because the outcome was not as joyful or successful as we expected. And then we are at a crossroads—do we move forward and recover or stay stuck in the pain and berate ourselves for not knowing better, for not applying our spiritual knowledge and avoiding the situation, for not being able to see what was going to happen and create a different outcome. We can move forward when we change our definition of a happy ending.
SUCCESS FROM ADVERSITY - We can create success out of what appears to be adversity when we change our definition of happy endings. And we can do that by examining the process of learning. First, we deliberately create a situation in order to help us gain knowledge, confidence and increase our spiritual understanding. Then we allow it to erode our confidence and trust and become stuck because we have an attachment to the outcome. We judge the outcome as a failure because it did not meet our expectations and he ending was not happy—but we are judging it based on how we feel not on what happened.
SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE - And, our definition of a 'happy ending' is not the same as that of the Universe. From a spiritual perspective, a happy ending occurs when we have achieved new levels of spiritual growth and understanding, which is not always 'fairy tale' happy and sometimes involves painful endings. With a happy ending we are stronger, wiser, more confident and always gain on a spiritual level. But it also means that we may have to release something or someone, let go of an expectation, or change our perspective.
RECOVERY - Recovery is an important part of this process, one that we often forget or cannot move into. It is the most important part of our learning process because it allows us to assess what has happened, see what we created, every aspect of learning and healing that was available to us and how it has moved us forward on our path. Self-forgiveness is an important part of this process. We are often hardest on ourselves when we feel we should have known better, seen a lesson coming or been able to avoid it. We can't always create happy endings by simply avoiding lessons but we can create them by celebrating what we have learned.
A NEW PHASE - Every step forward we take helps us create a more powerful reality, every painful lesson we learn moves us into completion with that aspect of our healing. And this is a very happy ending because it means that we have completed a karmic cycle, finalized an aspect of our soul growth and moved into a new phase of our spiritual journey. Rather than allowing one difficult experience to stop us in our tracks and permanently damage our confidence, trust and faith in ourselves and in the Universe, we can find the happy ending and use it to help us create a different outcome for the next lesson.
THE HAPPY ENDING - The happy ending may not be what we imagined and the process may take longer than we anticipated. But what have we learned, how much more do we know and what are we now able to create with that knowledge? That is the happy ending, one that we can take with us as a permanent source of knowledge and understanding and use it to create new and different happy endings!
Put Your Heart Into It by Cynthia Sue Larson ___________________________
We have a saying, "My heart isn't in it," to explain why end results have been lackluster, or why some other form of dissatisfaction became obvious somewhere along the way. The one thing that brings me the most joy in my favorite people, stories, movies and animals is that they all have remarkably good hearts. Right from the start, they hook me with a sense that here is something truly special... here is something truly rare. I feel more alive when I'm with them, and I miss them when we're apart. The best restaurants and stores have service personnel who put their heart into their work in a way that shines through their eyes and resonates in their voices. The best pets have a way of letting you know they love being with you. While horseback riding this month, I noted that one horse kept nuzzling me, taking deep breaths and resting her head near my chest... and then my back. "That means she likes you," the handler explained, and it was clear the feeling was mutual.
In addition to noting when and where your heart isn't involved, you can benefit even more by paying attention to where and when it is. One of the simplest and most telling ways you can quickly discern in advance the difference between disappointing and satisfactory situations is by asking yourself, "How much of my heart is involved?" Noticing and observing where your heart feels drawn and what feels drawn to you is the first step in acknowledging the otherwise invisible threads of cosmic resonance which attune you to universal vibrations.
Once you start noticing the pull you feel on your heart, you can begin to consciously resonate with those who share the same vibrational frequency, learning a great deal about yourself and how you are feeling in the process. Whereas a great deal of chaos in one's life is generally an indication that there is a great deal of disharmony between your head, your heart, and your gut... to the degree that you are unified and at peace within yourself concerning all your various feelings and needs, you will notice peace in your relationships, and happiness with the choices you make and the situations that unfold.
Planning and doing things that bring you the greatest joy is the best way to keep yourself on track with all aspects of your life, so that you can best ensure you are productive in your work, satisfied with your romantic relationships, comfortable in your family relationships and successful in your business ventures!
Expect the Unexpected ____________________________
Expect the joyous unexpected every day. Trust that there are solutions and prospects that your human imagination has not been able to conceive of, much less pray for... Leave a part of your mind and a part of your willingness and all of your attention, open to each moment of now, so that you will notice when the Divine chooses to move and shimmer into visibility through the haze of your human days!
Live Aware! Sounds simple enough. And yet, for many of us, living with true awareness takes practice and commitment. It requires that we nurture our sense of wonder, curiosity and genuine interest each day. It requires that we refresh our connections to the people and essential elements of the world around us. Only then can the "Aha" truth of awareness resonate with us: What you notice matters!
Living with awareness naturally opens our eyes to the gifts to be enjoyed in daily life. At the same time, conscious intention and imagination opens our hearts to the fantastic possibilities that exist for creating a more satisfying life. Need more persuasion? Consider the following inspirational benefits:
Hello and Welcome...
