Moving Beyond the Myth of Happily Ever After
This is an excerpt from my new ebook, Happily Ever Now for Your Love Life.
No one I know has Happily Ever After. That’s the last page of the book, the last screen shot of the movie, and it’s the end of the story. That’s Hollywood. What about the rest of their lives? How about some reality please?
That fairy-tale image leaves out important ingredients that support a relationship to grow in love and strength. I’ve learned that I can use moments of doubt, challenge, and emotional upheaval to create more connection. These are signs that the relationship is going deeper and as it does, old issues that were buried down deep come to the surface to clear out. This makes room for more expansive experiences of love and ecstasy.
When you know how to deal with the stuff coming to the surface, it makes the process of expansion a lot easier. In this book, you will learn exercises to support you in clearing out old emotional stuff so you are clearer and more open. You will also increase your awareness of what your ‘buttons’ and patterns are in relationship so you can move toward responding to them consciously rather than reacting out of fear or habit.
This new awareness will support you in preparing for a new kind of relationship or approaching your current relationship with more love, clarity and a greater sense of self.
To learn tools, practices and skills to support you to move through times of challenge in relationship and come out the other side more deeply connected; I invite you to attend a Happily Ever Now workshop. James & I offer workshops as a way to share the “how to” that helps us ride the roller coaster adventure of conscious relationship.
The idea of wanting our relationship to be like it was when we first started dating is not appealing because it is now so much more alive, deep, and passionate than it has ever been. How would you like to experience a relationship that gets better and better through every joy and every challenge?
This is not a Happily Ever After picture. I’m not saying you’ll be happy all the time. I am saying that it is possible to consciously create your relationship and ride the waves of the ups and downs.
You deserve a relationship beyond your dreams that transcends the elusive myth of Happily Ever After!
