Actions Speak Loudly

You hear words that you don't agree with so you shut them out.

Do you even know why?

Listening with genuine curiosity could allow you to learn something new, possibly even create more power in your current belief.

You are creating a connection that runs deep because you now know each other on a deeper, more understanding level.

Listening doesn't mean you have to agree.

Listening means you hear; it opens you up to being listened to.⁣

Do you and your partner have differing beliefs? How do you feel about that? Does it push you apart? Follow along this week as I explore the opportunity behind other people's opinions. ⁣

Try it once.⁣
⁣
Sit.⁣
⁣
Close your eyes. ⁣
⁣
Pause for a few seconds.⁣
⁣
Now, take an 8 count deep breath, through your nose.⁣
⁣
Feel a bit tight in the chest? Constricted? Not relaxing?⁣
⁣
Hold it for 8 seconds. How does that feel? ⁣
⁣
Suffocating? Panicky?⁣
⁣
With your eyes still closed, open your mouth and blow it all out.⁣
⁣
Relaxing? Loose? Clear?⁣
⁣
Do that a few times and then try something different.⁣
⁣
Try to imagine inhaling and feeling the way you did when you exhaled.⁣
⁣
That magically, relaxing feeling is how you can feel as you take steps towards change in your relationships. You start to create possibilities, and it starts to feel normal. ⁣
⁣
Realizing you're not there yet but that you are on the right path. When it starts to feel tight, constricting, panicky, you know it's just a signal.⁣
⁣
A sign you need to pause and self-coach, just like taking in a deep inhale as though you were exhaling.⁣

On this dock, an idea to host a women’s escape was delivered to me. I wanted to shut the idea out, as well as wanting to make this a dream come true.⁣
⁣
Tell me something you've done that at one time you thought impossible?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
How did you make your dream happen?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
At my first retreat, I told myself that I chickened out, that I backed out. Then I wrote a new story about that first retreat; instead, I tentatively asked my husband to join me as I ran through my retreat weekend agenda. ⁣
⁣
“Mistakes” can give you lots of insight into getting closer to your dream.⁣
⁣
When we believe that our end goal is possible, we're willing to get there; we'll act while feeling fear. ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Jeff and I had a great weekend of connection, and then two months after my marriage retreat, I had three beautiful souls who were willing to join me at my second retreat.⁣
⁣
When we believe that great relationships don't just happen but that we have to work on them, we're willing to take the next step forward.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I'm here to tell you that great, connected, loving, trusting relationships are deliberate, mine is proof, I mean he joined me at my retreat!⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Now you have to prove it to yourself, one believable step at a time. Do you believe me or not?⁣⁣

We all have our emotional history. Things that hav

We all have our emotional history. Things that have happened to us, things that we've done, things we didn't do, words they said, words we said, words we wanted to say.⁣
⁣
Working through your emotional history takes time, commitment, and a willingness to walk through the 💩 in order to get to the ☀️.⁣
⁣
Take two human lives with emotional history and bring them together, forever. ⁣
⁣
There is no reason for us to think it will be easy and without some really uncomfortable steps. It's going to take a deep commitment to not give up on yourself and your relationship dreams.⁣
⁣
This work isn't easy, but I guarantee it will be the best work you will ever do. Doing the work of digging deep into yourself, committing to taking one step at a time, no matter how uncomfortable, is the only way to create that deeply committed love relationship.⁣
⁣
You learn how to feel better so that you can create a better life for yourself; that's what we do in AwakenYou, and I'd love to have you join me.⁣

When it came to hopes and dreams in my relationship, I never knew what was in the way. It just seemed I didn't have the "right" partner.⁣
⁣
I'm not afraid of hard work, so it wasn't that.⁣
⁣
I definitely used "not enough time" as a way to avoid looking inside.⁣
⁣
I didn't know where to start but mostly I was afraid to open the door and step inside.⁣
⁣
Instead, I settled and accepted a mediocre love life.⁣
⁣
Do you know what was in the way of creating the love relationship of my dreams?⁣
⁣
Emotions.⁣
⁣
Pride. Fear. Shame.⁣
⁣
That's it. Just vibrations that I was afraid of feeling. ⁣
⁣
Are you wondering how to take the awkward steps necessary to change how you feel in your relationship?⁣
⁣
You know how? One step at a time. One thought model at a time. One dare at a time. ⁣
⁣
Today I want to encourage you to take the next step, don't worry, I'm here to catch you if you fall. From experience I will share this truth with you about healing your relationship: falling doesn't hurt, it simply means you're learning. ⁣

Even before Jeff and I met, I knew he could be the one. We started dating which solidified that thought.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Everything was different, this relationship would be magical. For sure. ⁣
⁣
We tied the knot and slowly stopped doing the daily things.⁣
⁣⁣
Eventually the love tank sorta dried up.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
"Why me?" I cried out to God, I prayed for guidance, I asked Him to show me the truth.⁣
⁣⁣
He put this ladder in front of me so I started climbing.⁣
⁣⁣
This week I'm giving you the ladder and showing you how to climb it. ⁣
⁣
If you've been following along in my series then you've discovered how you are the creator of your current life. Last week you dreamed big about what you want your love relationship to look like. ⁣
⁣
This week we're going to start climbing the ladder that leads you there.⁣
⁣
What is this ladder and where does it go? Hang around, I always lead you well!⁣
⁣⁣
Want me to lead you to your relationship dreams? I'm ready friend, all you have to do is wave the "LET'S GO" flag and you'll be on the way to Awakening that love you have been desperately missing.⁣

I have decided I will think big, do big, believe big and notice what my mind offers me and I’d love for you to join me!
⁣
We get to choose whether we believe our mind's offer that we've fallen short.⁣
⁣
I choose to correct it.⁣
⁣
To remind my mind that I don't fall short but landed perfectly, using it to make my next jump forward. Join me, together let's set our relationships on fire! ⁣

Dreaming is something I enjoy doing, do you enjoy

Dreaming is something I enjoy doing, do you enjoy dreaming? I have recently been challenging myself to get really specific with them. I'm taking them out of my head and creating a roadmap to turning them into reality. ⁣
⁣
For over thirty years my business motto has been "Becoming a champion begins as a dream...dreams can come true."⁣
⁣
I'm making my relationship dreams come true and helping you do the same. ⁣
⁣💥
Do you know where you want to go? No? No worries! I am a relationship dream ignitor 😉 let's discover the flame and show it how to grow.⁣
