The world is demanding and constantly changing. People tend toignore one of their most important anchors for intellectual sanity,emotional security, and spiritual wisdomtheir primary relationshipwith a mate. A committed, lifelong relationship with another humanbeing is a simple, obvious, and profound source of happiness, butrelationships ring in low on many couples list of priorities. Althoughpeople might say their relationship is very important, their actualbehavior contradicts them. Individuals become preoccupied with worldlymatters (careers, material goods, social position) and begin to taketheir partners for granted. When attention goes elsewhere, therelationship anchor cuts loose and the relationship drifts out to sea. This situation does not just happen to you. You are not the helplessvictim of a world characterized by the popular, albeit misinformed,saying Life is hard and then you die. In fact, you are a co-creatorof your situation and you can just as easily create something differentand new using the power of Mind Freedom. How To Think About Your RelationshipYour relationship success flows from paying sustained attention to yourrelationship. How you think about your relationship is typicallydictated by learned beliefs and assumptions, many of which are negativeand can lead you from one relationship failure to another. Become awareof relationship-negative messages you give yourself and others, andthen intentionally shift them to positive messages. Here are twoexamples: 1. Having time for each other. Want more time with your partner? Focus on your desire to be together. Picture the moments youve had together and the pleasure that brings. Ifother thoughts begin to whiningly intrude (But we have so much to do.We cant take time even though I want to. Other things are morepressing.) let them pass through. Replace them with:We do have a lot going on in our lives, but were important and I wantmore time together. I know we can find some way to make that happen. Possibilitieswill present themselves; situations will arise when you can choose tospend time together or not. Seize those opportunities. 2. Sustainability of Relationships. Want to spend a lifetime with your mate? Picture the two of you growing happy and healthy together into old age. Whenlearned assumptions insinuate themselves into your head (Mostrelationships dont last, Passion dies, Lovers grow apart.) sendthem out the window. Replace them with: Our relationship will thrive throughout the years. Act on every opportunity that emerges to intensify your connection.
