Life is about relationships

Whether you single or part of a couple, most people lack the knowledge and skills needed to create and sustain long term successful relationships.

Yet relationships are a fundamental part of all of our lives; starting with the relationship we have we ourselves, our romantic and family relationships and the relationships we have with friends, co-workers and business associates. Life is really ALL about relationships! Because relationships are woven into every aspect of our lives, it stands to reason that the more we increase our self awareness and improve our relationships skills and knowledge, the more fulfilled and happy our lives will be.

The one thing that all of our relationships have in common what WE bring to them in terms of our behaviors, attitudes, beliefs and level of awareness of both self and others. Unfortunately, most people do not recognize or understand the role that they play in the success or failure of their relationships.

14 Compelling Reasons to Use a Relationship Coach

We are REALLY enjoying our journey as husband and wife relationship coaches! The coaching relationship is unique and powerful, and really can help you find fulfillment in your life and relationships. Below are some important reasons to use a Relationship Coach, any ONE of which is compelling enough to get you started on your journey TODAY.

1. YOU VALUE RELATIONSHIPS HIGHLY
   You prioritize building fulfilling personal and professional relationships. You realize that your success and quality of life is directly connected to the quality of your relationships.
2. YOU ARE COMMITTED TO SUCCESS
   You are serious and intentional about having a fulfilling life partnership, family, business, and community.
3. YOU WANT RESULTS
   Working with a coach can move you farther and faster than you can on your own.
4. YOU ARE WILLING TO LEARN
   You realize that you don’t know what you don’t know, and your future success may depend upon access to new relationships skills and knowledge.
5. YOU ARE READY FOR ACTION
   Using a coach can be the most effective means of translating knowledge into practice. One of the most indispensable roles of a coach is to help you use what you already know to make effective choices and take the actions necessary to be successful.
6. YOU ARE OPEN TO MENTORING/SUPPORT
   A Relationship Coach helps you to use your relationships to evolve and develop relationship skills critical to your business success and personal fulfillment. The process of self-discovery, learning about relationships, and how to make successful relationship choices cannot be effectively self-taught or obtained from a book or tape.
7. YOU WANT FULFILLMENT
   You do not want to settle for less or risk preventable failure, and you are willing to give yourself the gift of the support and technology needed to be successful.
8. YOU WANT TO BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
   A Relationship Coach helps keep you honest with yourself, helps neutralize any tendency you may have to settle for less than you really want, is good for providing “reality checks” and being a sounding board.
9. YOU WANT TO BE PROACTIVE
   A Relationship Coach helps you solve problems while they are still small.
10. YOU WANT TO GO BEYOND YOUR LIMITS
    A Relationship Coach holds your highest vision for you beyond your fears and limitations, and helps you overcome your obstacles and challenges.
11. YOU WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
    A Relationship Coach helps you take responsibility for the quality of your relationships so that you can create them the way you want.
12. YOU WANT TO LIVE AUTHENTICALLY
    Today’s world is filled with challenges to finding and staying on your highest path, telling your truth, and making choices that are best for you. A Relationship Coach helps you identify and live the life you really want, and to be more of the person you really are and want to be.
13. YOU WANT BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE
    Your life is filled with opportunities and conflicting choices. You recognize the importance of creating and maintaining balance in relationships, including the ones you have with yourself and your higher power.
14. YOU WANT NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
    You recognize that a healthy relationship is growing and dynamic. One of the worst things that can happen is to take one another or the relationship for granted. Opening to new possibilities keeps a good relationship getting better with the passage of time. A Relationship Coach helps you to continually discover and implement new and more fulfilling possibilities for your life and relationships.

New Year New Love

 

On January 1^st millions of people will begin their new year with resolutions to lose weight, get out of debt or quit smoking with a sense of anticipation and eagerness. These are common resolutions and we cannot underestimate the importance of having health and fitness goals, but having successful, fulfilling relationships is also critical for our happiness and well-being. So if you are single, or if you are in an unhappy relationship, why not resolve to improve your love life in 2014!?! Below are Ten Steps to Finding your Perfect Mate:

1. Start by losing the losers
If you want to find your soul mate you must be available and not involved with people that aren’t right for you. Staying available is hard for a lot of singles, but necessary for finding the love of your life.

2. OK, available now? Next… are you “ready?”

Any unfinished business that might sabotage your next relationship? Legal, financial, emotional, kids, ex, employment? Get it handled!

3. Next, make a list of your top five “requirements”

Requirements are non-negotiable deal-breakers; what you must have or must not have in your relationship. Vow not to get involved with anyone that doesn’t meet all five. Share your list with your closest friends and make them swear to tell you the truth and lock you up if you get off-track.

4. Good job. Now, let’s get crystal clear about this “dating” thing:

If you want to avoid the deadly dating traps, focus on these Four Steps for Conscious Dating:

Step One: Scouting (find compatible people to meet- internet, through friends, getting out there, etc)

Step Two: Sorting (quickly determine if someone you meet has potential)
Step Three: Screening (collect enough information to know if your requirements would be met)
Step Four: Testing (date a few times and compare the reality with the information)
Repeat as needed.
That’s it… nothing more, nothing less. No “trial relationships,” no fun flings; just these four steps.

5. Get support

Don’t do this alone. Dating can be scary and isolating, and your friends and family can be your safety net to help you stay on track.

6. Work it!

Most people meet their soul mate through someone they already know, so let people know you’re looking and network like crazy.

7. Be positive and happy

Success breeds success and misery loves company… your choice.

8. Be the Chooser!

Go after what you want and don’t simply react to what or who chooses you.

9. Be assertive!

If you settle for less, you’ll get less. Ask for what you want and say “No” to what you don’t want.

10. Live a great life NOW while you’re single.

“If you build it, they will come” (from the movie “Field of Dreams”).

Finding your perfect mate is a combination of working on yourself so that you’re ready to attract and keep this wonderful person, and being proactive in your life to go after what you want instead of waiting for it to come to you, or hoping it will just “happen.” If you are serious about finding love, sign up for our Conscious Dating® Finding Your Happily Ever After Program for Singles in 2014. We wish you a Happy New Year and best wishes in your journey to find the love of your life and the life that you love.
