Pursuing Life Passionately

Life is not about struggle; life is about pleasure. We may have had challenging and disheartening experiences in the past with partnership, but those difficult experiences don't have to rule us forever. Often it's the old story that holds us back and hurts so much.

On old adage states that pain is mandatory; suffering is optional. I suggest that the same adage applies to relationships. Don't wallow in suffering--move on from the old story that hurts so much.

Today try a new way. Assert the belief that life is about joy, not sorrow. If there are fun experiences you would like to try, envision what it would be like to try these out. If there are potential partners that ou want to connect with, take positive steps to getting closer to these people. If there are ways you would like to contribute, offer your skills.

We were put on this earth to enjoy ourselves. Today is the day to go after your dreams and aspirations with the sure knowledge that amazing things will happen to you. When you contribute to the universe even a little bit and explore all the richness available to you, you are pursuing life positively. And you are emotionally available--and you can attract someone who can share true love with you.

Holding on So Tightly

Holding on so tightly to a partner is a common problem when we choose the unavailable type. We want to hold on to what little love is available, but we can end up pushing the person away. It is not an eefective strategy for a healthy relationship. And when we do attract an emotionally available person, we may continue to hold on too tightly, even though there is plenty of love to give and get. We do this because we are used to holding on - after having been with unavailable partners for so long.

So what can we do to avoid this this debilitating problem and keep from pushing love away?

The best strategy is to check in with ourselves when we can see that we are trying to take a hostage. Then we can remind ourselves that our goal is to be the emotionally available partner we seek.

Emotionally available people know that they don't have to hold on tight to force love. They know that love is always available and there is more than enough to go around. They know that love is it's own energy that builds when shared - and when it is not held with a tight grip.

Today, remember what you know intuitively because you are the emotionally available partner. Let your love go - trusting that they will be there when you need them. And if they aren't, you will get more information about their availability quotient.

Everything is progress and love. Trust in the process and get more information by letting go!

Taking Ourselves and Our Relationships So Seriously

What would it be like to wear your relationship like a loose garment?
Isn’t it boring to always to be worried about your issues 24/7? All that worry won’t help you make a relationship work. Realize that you are not powerful enough to influence any romantic situation by being overly serious about it. Everything is being worked out for the highest good.

Emotional availability is characterized by light-heartedness. If you imagine wearing your relationship like a loose garment, rather than a constricting piece of clothing, you can take some of the pressure off yourself.

Talking about entertainment, sporting events, the weather, trivia, and other news can be an antidote to the dilemma of heavy-heartedness. Emotional unavailability is characterized by an obsessive focus on how everything relates to the relationship; today make a choice to get out of yourself by talking to others. Then listen to them in return.

Today release all over-seriousness and let in the love of an emotionally available partner - yourself!
