What would happen if you invested in the most important relationship you’ll ever have, the one you have with yourself? What would it mean to you if you could reignite your GLOW and live a life that you love? And what if you could be free of your “shoulds” and be able to make choices that are aligned with who you are and what you value?
I know this may sound to good to be true as we face the intense demands of our modern-day world. We often become derailed due to the multiple roles we play, from career mogul, to mother, to partner. We are moving at such a fast pace and are pulled in so many directions, it is surprising that our relationships function as well as they do. As we move through our daily lives, we are often influenced by our needs to be seen, to be heard, to belong, and to be appreciated. As a result, we tend to do more and try to achieve more, hoping we will feel better about ourselves. This never-ending and distracting cycle tends to have us focus on everything and everyone but ourselves.
In order to invest in you, you must first place the oxygen mask on yourself.
We as human beings are plagued with the notion that we should “know” how to navigate our lives and our relationships; however, we were not taught the skills of building glowing conscious relationships. We were taught how to “get along” which included sharing, playing fair, lowering our voices and to apologize if something went askew. We were not taught how to navigate our beliefs, behaviors attitudes and assumptions, let alone others. Each and everyone of us is operating out of our own worldview, which is best described by this quote from The Talmud; “We don’t see things the way they are, we see things the way we are.”
The good news is that building glowing conscious relationships is all about skill building. Yes, you can learn how to have rich, intimate and fulfilling relationships through the development of skill in the areas of commitment, trust and communication.
I believe that when human beings become aware of their attitudes, assumptions and beliefs that drive their choices, they open up to possibilities they didn’t previously feel they had. This alone, changes how you choose to live your life. To learn, more contact me!
