Dream Work (Things I try to remember)
Good Habits:
Once a week set a time and place to have a family meeting. Providing a structured forum to explore, discuss, review and plan your relationship's needs and goals is essential. Make this meeting a safe and honest environment for listening and sharing about the important things in the relationship.
Put some passion in your marriage / relationship every day. Don't forget the important emotions that brought you and your partner together. Get naked and see what develops every day.
Make a list of 10 things that make you happy. Next to each item make a note of the last time you did this thing. It is said that one can measure their degree of happiness by knowing the distance between where they are and where they want to be. This exercise done regularly will help you focus on what makes you happy and how successful you are at achieving those goals.
Sex class: On a regular basis (once a week or month) study with your partner about how to improve your sex life. Make it a structured meeting. Ask questions, share ideas, explore dreams, do research. Make it a safe and open honest atmosphere for both parties to share. Our sex life is a good barometer of our relationship. And don't forget the homework.
Every morning make a list of the 5 most important things you have to do today. Mark the MOST important thing #1, the next important thing #2 and so on down the list. Start on number 1. Do not stop working on #1 until it is finished. Only then go down the list. This way you are assured of working and completing the most important tasks. Do the same thing each morning.
Make a list of the most important people in your life. Think of why they are important and the things that they do well. Make a point to praise them, thank them for what they do, daily or at least once a week.
Take a class, learn something new. Knowledge brings new life into us. It makes us more interested and more interesting.
Look in the mirror regularly. What can you do to improve your appearance? If we look good we feel good, if we feel good, we are good.
Get something to write with... and paper, stamp and envelop. Write a letter to someone. If you don't have anyone to write to, write to yourself. It is a small thrill in life to get a real personal letter from someone who cares. You will feel better writing and someone else will feel better because you care enough to write.
Find a hobby or craft or something that you are interested in and work at it every day until you become an expert on the subject. Everyone needs to be good at something... Mostly for your own self-worth.
Before going to sleep think back on the good parts of the day. This is an excellent ritual to establish. By doing this you take a few moments for yourself to reflect on what is going right. Thinking about good things sets your mind at ease for a good night's sleep.
