Relationship LifeVision

A mindful practice that would create close bonds and do wonders for improving your marriage or relationship with your companion would be making time for each other. This sends the clear and loving message of “You are important to me.” “I want to be with you.” I love sharing time with you.” “ I am interested in what you have to say.” The importance of creating this time together is monumental in creating a successful, loving, and fulfilling relationship with your spouse or companion. Schedule an evening, an afternoon, or weekend away, just the two of you. Enjoy each other’s company. Focus on the positive things about your relationship, remind yourself of all the reasons you fell in love. Laugh, hold hands, and talk to each other. Ask about their day, what things they dream of. Express gratitude for them. Thank them for the things they do for you big and small.

Ask each other for ideas they might have improve your relationship.  Ask each for ideas of how to improve communication or support for each other.  Listen in a non-defensive way. The goal is to understand what each other is thinking, meaning, feeling and wanting. You want to achieve information to understand what your spouse or companion is thinking or feeling. If you become defensive it will only shut your companion down. Then you are limited in your understanding and unable to solve a problem or resolve any conflict. Write down the suggestions made. Don’t defend yourself, but rather take the position that maybe you need to reconsider your behavior in these areas to improve your relationship. 

Get on the same page with your spouse or companion.  Talk about goals that you want to achieve together as a couple.  What things can you do together that will strengthen your bond? Write all of these things you discover in your journal.This time together is also a great time to discuss family goals, write the ways you would like to strengthen your family together. Perhaps take a yearly weekend away and discuss upcoming goals for the year or what you can do together to strengthen your marriage and your family. When both partners are on the same page and in alignment with each other and the things they want to create together, bonds are formed that significantly strengthen the relationship and allow for your relationship to grow in love, commitment and trust.

What would your relationship with your children be like if you spent consistent quality time with them? Consider planning
some alone time with each of your children. If they are young, this can be planned to spend at home or a special outing. Older children might enjoy going to a movie or take a bike ride, hike or walk together. It can be anything you choose, keeping in mind that it is a time you are focused on spending time with them with no interruptions or other responsibilities.

Plan these times together as regularly as possible. Make it standing appointment if possible. Standing weekly or monthly appointment spending time with those you love is time well spent. Find out what is going on in their world. The most important thing a children needs to know is that they are OK in your eyes. Tell them how proud you are of them. Express you love and appreciation for them. Enjoy, embrace and honor their own unique gifts and talents. Laugh and play and just have fun!

Let the people in your life know you are thinking of them. It takes little time to send messages of love or gratitude for the people that mean the most to you. Tuck a thoughtful note somewhere they will find it, send a Birthday card or a Just Thinking About You card. (Check out Send Out Cards for an easy way to show appreciation )Text them a message telling them how wonderful you think they are. Call them on the phone and visit with them. These small tokens of love and appreciation are a way to reach out to those we hold dear. Make these mindful practices and habits an important part of developing the relationships your desire in your life.

Take the opportunity to express true kindness to everyone with whom you come in contact. Give a simple smile to someone you pass, or extend a helping hand to a stranger crossing the street or with arms full is an opportunity to practice kindness. We all need each other. The ripple effect of random and simple acts of kindness is far reaching.

In his bestselling book, The Power of Intention, Wayne Dyer writes about the effect of kindness on the human body. Scientists studied brain activity of individuals as they performed an act of kindness for another. They found increased levels of serotonin; the chemical the brain produces to make you feel good, and the common ingredient in antidepressant medication. That wasn’t all they found. In those receiving the acts of kindness researchers recorded the same amount of serotonin as in those giving the service. It was further determined that even those observing the acts of kindness produced the same amount of serotonin.

Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work

Example #1

Being a wife and mother are my most important roles. My family is the center of my life and Dave is the center of my heart.  I love Dave so much.  He is perfect in every way.  He is kind, thoughtful, fun, interesting, and beautiful, inside and out.  He is my best friend.  I adore him unconditionally, and supports him in his every desire and wish.  He is the soul mate of my dreams. I look into his face and see his depth, his character, and his life full of so much learning and experience and wisdom.  The passionate quality and spontaneity of our lovemaking is intensely satisfying to both of us, and it is an integral part of our deep bonds of closeness, which lifts us to a higher plane.  

We love being together sharing our daily activities.  We share the love of good music, books, concerts, and the outdoors, as well as traveling together as often as possible discovering the beauties of the world.  I am creative in planning dates, such as dancing, outdoor adventures, and other ways of filling our souls.  I bring satisfying comfort and quality experiences that add a multitude of dimensions to make our lives very rich in every possible way.  With him by my side, I feel secure and satisfied financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and sexually.   

I can talk easily to my husband about anything, anytime, always being honest and clear. We respect each other’s wisdom, spirituality, time and personal space.  I give him verbal and physical approval in public and privately.   My communication skills are in tune with universal light, all truth and knowing. I listen with love and a deep sense of connection.  I always pick up on others needs.  I am developing the gift for being intuitive.  We focus on making our marriage a top priority by encouraging and being available for weekly date nights, quarterly weekends away, as well as at least one longer trip away annually.

We have monthly meetings together discussing finances, goals, and plans.  We are always open and honest, sharing our desires, hopes, and concerns.  Dave & I discuss each of our children each week and set goals and tasks for things we can do to assist them.

I love to serve my children by helping them with homework, making them breakfast and dinner and assisting them in music lessons, sports and scouts. I am home in the afternoons so I can be there for my children.  I know my children are unique and have incredible talents and abilities.  I do whatever I can to nurture them to realize their full measure. I look for many opportunities for one-on-one time with my children.  This is a time when we really bond and connect and the effort pays off tremendously. We enjoy being together and I always ask them how things are going in their lives.  We have our married children over twice a month for dinner.

I am sensitive to each of my children’s particular personalities and needs.  I recognize each one for who they are.  I know their individual worth.  I remember and honor their likes and dislikes.  I pray for them individually every day.  

I enjoy my relationship with my daughter Carolee.  We spend time together each week talking about our future plans, opportunities & mothering. Carolee has much ambition and talents that amaze me.  I am continually impressed with her maturity, her relationship that she is building with Jordan & her little Sammy and her dedication to improve her surroundings.

Sophia is a sweetheart and we are lucky to have her in our family.  Her gifts include offering the gift of friendship to many.  She is a great friend and goes out of her way to be a great friend.  She is conscientious about her education and has a desire to grow spiritually and to develop her talents.

My son Ryan is one of my best friends. He and I enjoy spending time together as our “boys night out” every week. I am committed to my relationship as his father. I teach him principles that I think are important for him to learn when we are one on one and allow him to internalize them for himself. I am a great teacher and father to him. He is a great teacher and son to me. I golf with him on a bi-weekly basis. I take him swimming and shooting as much as he wants. I support him in his decisions and allow him to fail forward with all trials. All my children and grandchildren know they get enormous buckets of love, affection and approval from me, which is returned to me in abundance. I have been blessed with the greatest family in the world.

Socially, I am very active. I have a tremendous number of inspiring, fun and enjoyable friends. My friends come from all walks of life. I have a group of neighborhood friends that I am very involved with. I feel a part because I make the effort to get to know the women in my neighborhood.  

I take part in a monthly book club. I am also a part of a luncheon group that meets monthly.   I have healthy friendships and attract the people who are intended to be a part of my life.  I have a picture in my mind of meeting the people who I’d like to have a soul friendship with.  I act upon this inner picture of attracting ideal people into my life by practicing being the kind of person I wish to attract.  I have an abundance of friends. Weekly, Dave and I go out with friends. Daily, I call one friend just to catch up and keep in touch. 

Example #2

I believe that my success is in direct proportion to the relationships in my life so I create meaningful and fulfilling relationships with my family, friends, and partner.

When I have a conversation with someone, I practice true listening. I pretend the person who’s speaking has a gem of wisdom to tell me that will profoundly change my life. In order to receive it, I give the person my full attention and allow him or her to speak without interruption. I also keep my word with myself and others to create a lasting and trusting bond. When I say that I am going to the gym, I go. When I say that I’ll show up at a party, I show up. This strengthens my personal power so that I am well practiced at keeping my word.

My relationship with my family is extremely important to me and I express unconditional love to each one individually through my words and actions. I know that my time with each of my family members is precious so I keep in touch. I make an effort to keep up to date with what is going on in their lives and send them compliments and words of encouragement when needed. I maintain a strong bond with my parents, call them at least once a week, and visit monthly. I also make time to call my Nina every month. Because of my financial stability, I am able to spend more time with my nieces and nephews. I call them often and take them out for surprise trips to the movies and other cool places. I also call each of my brothers and sister once a month and I visit Frankie 3 times a year.

Socially, I am very blessed with the love and support of my friends. I surround myself with inspiring, goal-oriented and ambitious individuals from all walks of life who are genuinely very supportive of my own goals. I go out with friends and feel comfortable attending social functions on a weekly basis. When I am with my friends, I am empathetic, fully present and they are my priority. I make an effort to reach out and reestablish old pre-existing friendships by texting friends randomly to let them know I thought of them or connecting with via a phone call.

I am fun to be around, positive and very confident. I smile often and compliment others regularly and easily. When people are talking, I look at them directly in the eyes. Whenever I meet someone new and interesting I develop an authentic relationship with them and ask questions to engage with them. I genuinely listen and follow up with them later based on details they share about themselves.

Those who know me find my passionate and authentic energy contagious and enjoy spending time with me. Because of this, I attract quality people into my life and have an abundance of friends. I connect with strangers easily and effortlessly constantly making new friends.

I am a wildly successful, expansive, and irresistible woman. My heart runs deep with emotion, and my sexuality and feminine wiles inspire, enliven, and attract my partner. I embrace my natural and womanly strengths of compassion, enchantment, and tenderness and feel at ease being intelligent, sensual, and compassionate all at once. I remove myself from gender-biased complaint fests in order to deepen and expand my irresistibility in every possible way. I am open to romantic opportunities and am enthusiastic, alive, expressive, and engaging—regardless of the circumstances.

I trust my intuition and when I feel attracted to someone who’s not “my type,” I go out with him anyway and open myself up to new possibilities. I step into a world of limitless potential and date my partner for fun. When I am out with him, I express my passionate spirit and enjoy myself. I play, laugh, am silly and 100% authentically myself and actively engage my mind, body, and soul in the moment. I let go of thoughts about the past and worries about the future and bring my full attention to whatever, whoever, is in front of me right now.

I know that love is a commitment to an imperfect person – a decision and a promise. I allow myself to be open and willing to be vulnerable to attract my perfect partner. I make the decision to love fully and without expectation.

I attract a man who appreciates and admires that I have a life outside of our relationship and it only increases his desire towards me. When I am with him, I truly see and appreciate him – a fellow human being in search of a great life and passionate love. We respect one another’s priorities and support each other’s goals because our relationship is grounded in compassion and mutual growth. We share a love for personal development and are both goal oriented individuals. He recognizes that my independence is part of the reason he’s fallen for me and since we both give each other the space we need to lead full lives, our time together is authentically pleasurable and we enjoy one another’s company that much more. His ability to accept my independence attracts me to him and it turns him on that I respect his need for a guys’ night out once in a while. He genuinely enjoys my confidence in myself and in growing our relationship. We show up to events that are important to one another and spend time with one another’s family and friends. We are both fully present when we are together and are fully invested in each other. He is helpful and encouraging because whatever I’m doing is just as important to him as what he’s doing too. We share an instant bond, a natural feeling of trust, and an unending desire to share everything with each other.

We have passionate and engaging conversations and enjoy seeing one another’s eyes light up when we share the things we are passionate about in our life. When I am with my partner, there is a current that runs between us like an electric charge on the verge of erupting into the perfect storm and we have a passionate, fulfilling, and satisfying sex life. When we are physically intimate, we are connected and uninhibited and we bring each other immense pleasure. We revel in each other’s touch, celebrate one another’s imperfections, and feel truly alive. He celebrates me for being exactly who I am, as I do him. We are not only lovers and best friends, but partners, who can regularly function together, engage each other, and support one another’s ideas and ambitions. We have a deep connection physically, emotionally and spiritually.

He is a warm, kindhearted, well balanced, exciting and passionate individual and we push each other to excel and grow in life and business. We compliment each other and bring out the best in one another. We have the perfect combination of independence, freedom, respect and reliance in our relationship and allow one another the opportunity to grow.

Example #3

Because I am so happy with myself, I’m happy with those around me, especially my family.  My positive example and loving manner with my family creates an atmosphere of love and harmony in our home.  I realize the predominant spirit in the home is a reflection of my spirit.  For this reason I am always patient with my children.  My children know that they can come to me no matter how they feel and can count on me being a good listener and having lots of understanding.  I seek for their counsel and advice where appropriate.   I know that asking my children for input adds a very special dimension to our relationship and helps us to be much closer, sharing concern for each other and being more aware of each other’s needs and feelings.  They are also much more receptive to advice when I do this.  I am always easy to along with-tolerant and pleasant.  

My perfect companion is a very successful professional who has a good humor and is a fun loving person.  He is an outdoorsman and plans camping trips and hikes for the family.  He makes me laugh and brings great joy to others.  He is extremely sensitive to my needs and is very helpful.  He is in good shape and inspires me to stay in great shape.  He is my best friend and confidant.  We enjoy spending time together. He senses when I am discouraged or frustrated, and demonstrates his endless love by dropping whatever is on his agenda to spend some time with me.  He gives me little gifts to show me that he is thinking of me and likes to hold hands.  He gives me a big hug and kiss every time he departs or when we meet again.  All my children know how much we love each other and of our special relationship.  We are an excellent example to them.

I love people and I am thankful for my opportunities to interact with those around me.  I look for the good qualities in others and make a special point of giving honest compliments and praise.  I am tolerant of values and backgrounds that are different from my own.  I see each person as a son or daughter of God and allow that person his or her weaknesses.

I am a fantastic conversationalist.  I keep myself well informed and am able to discuss current events and issues intelligently.  I do this by listening to radio programs and reading the newspaper and fine books.  I am a warm and loving person.  I create an atmosphere of comfort and safety when others are confiding in me.  I have a great sense of humor and am able to use that talent to put others at ease and relieve tension when appropriate.  

I have a talent for putting my thoughts into words.  When I am having a conversation with someone, I am assertive and able to say what I am thinking and feeling in a concise and interesting way, being tactful and diplomatic.  I am honest and real.  I listen empathetically and actively while the other person is talking, concentrating on what he or she is saying and the feelings behind the words.  

I feel comfortable entertaining friends and colleagues in my home or attending social functions.  I attract friends that share the same goals in life.  I choose to be with people who uplift and enlighten, and learn from everyone I am around.  I am fun to be around…spontaneous, creative, and exciting.  I am positive and happy and have an uncanny ability to attract quality people.  I enjoy life.  That joy is contagious to those around me.  

At work I give others space to make their own decisions, control their own lives, and encourage them to reach their potential.  I give others the benefit of the doubt and realize they may have other perspectives.  I allow others their weaknesses, focusing instead on their strengths.  I expect the best of others but accept what they give.  If I feel tension in a relationship, I work for resolution so the lines of affection are kept open.  

I am gracious and appreciative.  When others are giving or kind, I am responsive and grateful.  I am generous and give of my time to help others.  I am the first to laugh at my own mistakes, trying to help others feel comfortable or at ease when they make mistakes.

I feel each day that I am better than the day before, and I am excited at my progress.  I love to feel the joy that comes in living in total harmony with my beliefs.
