Relationship Advice for Bringing More Love into Your Relationships
Yesterday, at 1:35 pm Eastern time, a scientific event called the Winter Solstice occured. At this time, because of the earth's tilt, the northern hemisphere was leaning furthest from the sun and daylight was the shortest.
Many cultures have observed the Winter Solstice with ceremony and at the root of these ceremonies is the ancient fear that the light will never return.
In honor of the darkest day and the anticipation of the coming light, we invite you to choose to bring more light and love into your relationships.
What that means is different for everyone and every one of your relationships.
Take a few moments and list your important relationships and don't forget your relationship with yourself. Be sure to include the difficult ones and the ones that tend to irritate you the most.
Now, write one word or maybe even a phase of how you intend to allow more light and love to enter each relationship.
Here are a few suggestions to get you started...
1. Not jump to conclusions so quickly
2. Connect each evening, even for 15 or 20 minutes
3. Give a nightly foot rub to my beloved
4. Stop what you are doing and listen more intently to your kids
5. Treat yourself to a relaxing bath with music and candles once a week
6. Be more truthful when you don't want to do something or go somewhere
7. Visit or call your mother, even for 30 minutes, each week and really be there for her during that time
8. Stop yourself when you start getting critical
9. Be patient and loving instead of impatient
10. Learn something new that will increase your enthusiasm and zest for life
Choose some ways that speak to you that will bring more light into your relationships and practice them. Keep the
list handy to remind you.
This world needs all the love and light it can get right now and the best place to start is with you and your relationships.
Our blessings to you for a happy holiday and many loving relationships!
