What a beautiful day!
Hope you are enJOYing this radiant summer afternoon and feeling ready for too much fun this weekend!
I am feeling so at ease and relaxed today…really embracing the truth that all is well.
And, I’m feeling so thankful for this peace after a week of tumultuous growth and challenge in my life.
We are all human.
We all face difficulties.
The most important part of our journey is how we choose to respond.
And how we transform from what we learn.
Today, I’d like to share with you something that has felt really powerful and transformative in my partnership with my hubby.
We’ve been together ten years and I am grateful for finding new ways to connect and get back on the same page together.
Recently, I listened to an interview with Ellen Eatough, MA “The Soulful Sex Coach” who shared a powerful one minute practice to reignite unity and connection in our romantic relationship.
Here’s the gist of it:
- Embrace each other in a heart to heart hug for 20 seconds.
- Kiss passionately and fully (like you did in the sweet early days of your togetherness).
- Each take (approximately) 15 seconds to share appreciation for your partner.
- Be honest and authentic.
- Your gratitude may be specific: “I am so thankful for the way you lovingly read to our daughter before bed.” OR “I love the way your hands tenderly sweep across my back when you walk by me.”
- Your gratitude may be general: “I am grateful for your tenacity and determination to support our family.” OR “I appreciate all the passion you feel for me.”
- Let it be natural and easy…and fun!
After you share your minute with your partner, it may be helpful to take a few moments to silently reflect and absorb what you’ve shared…and perhaps even focus some of this gratitude and love on yourSelf!
When you practice gratitude and kindness with your partner, it begins to feel incredibly natural…peaceful, loving energy emerges with ease.
And, the more at ease we are in our relationships, the more JOY and HAPPINESS flow in our lives.
So, tell me, what do you think?
