I had a phone conversation with an ongoing client the other day. He likes to refer to himself as a newlywed even though he and his wife have been married for about 4 years. He seemed agitated and shared that he felt unheard by his wife. They got married later in life and both came to the marriage with a lot of “stuff”. He told me that she just “didn’t understand him.” ”We are at a standstill. I want to use all my pots and pans in the kitchen and she wants to use hers.” They had come to an impasse in their marriage. Stubbornness, from both parties had caused them to retreat from one another. I saw the “pots and pans” as a sort of smoke screen to bigger issues in their partnership. I asked him, “what is more important, to be right or to allow Love to remain and permeate every corner of your home?” Then I asked, “is a material object worth more to you than establishing and maintaining unconditional love between you and your wife?” After all, isn’t it more important to understand our fellowman than to be right? Can you feel the difference? I asked my client to go home and “drop his weapon of defensiveness”. Yes, to drop all “against-ness” with his wife.
Well, he did just that. He went home to “listen” to his wife and not just “talk” at her. You see, she came to the conclusion that the “pots and pans’ were not that big a deal to her. Her husbands open heart and listening ear caused her to feel tenderness for him. They were able to compromise.
When I talked with my client today he told me that “the funniest thing has taken place in our home”. He offered, “my wife and I are so close and in love again”. ”So what happened”, I asked? He replied, “I am so clear now that I don’t have to be right because my intention is to witness to Love’s presence in our home. My wife has softened as I have softened. I love her more today then our wedding day.”
It is better to understand than to be understood. Let Love prevail and watch your relationships flourish. It’s that simple!
It is my turn to give back and to show my gratitude to all of my present clients. I am also extending this gift to first-time clientele, so don’t miss this opportunity! You are worth it!
I am offering a package deal of 3 one-on-one coaching sessions for the price of 2! Or 5 sessions for the price of 3.
In these sessions, we will work together to…
Well here it is again! The holiday season! It’s here! Ready, set, GO! Whoaaaaaaa, wait just a minute! ”I’m feeling overwhelmed just thinking about it”, a client of mine told me just the other day. She confided in me that she was dreading the holiday’s. “Why”, I asked, “tell me more?”
She shared with me what a disappointment she felt she was. ”I just get so overwhelmed during the holidays with all the shopping, cooking, holiday cards, dishes, decorating, presents for teachers, neighbors, relatives, children, husband, etc., etc. that I completely loose myself and I stress out my family!” “I just want to sit on my own private beach ALONE until the holidays are over”. ”I simply can’t keep this up year after year, I deserve to be happy, peaceful and stress free too.”
Well, “indeed you do!”, I replied. Through my brand of The Awakened Woman coaching I work with the subtleties in women’s lives. In other words, how you relate to the issue (in this case the holidays) IS the issue. We, as women, have a tendency to treat ourselves with very little patience. We tell ourselves, “to be a good wife, mother, daughter, I must create a beautiful and and aesthetically pleasing holiday. I must become Martha Stewart. I am solely responsible for creating everlasting memories for my family.” Whew! What a heavy load to carry!
I was able to talk my client back into reality by explaining that we are divine beings having a human experience and we can never have a perfect “human” experience. We worked on compassionate self-forgiveness and working on limiting beliefs about her view of Christmas. At our next session it is my intention to work at little deeper so my client can have the experience of a healthful, happy, peaceful and loving Thanksgiving and Christmas not only for her family but especially for herself.
The Awakened Woman . . . moving gracefully through change and uncertainty.
