3. FEATURE ITEM: Get Your Partner to Bleep!

Feeling the love in our relationship is not always easy. We get busy and boggled down with the tasks of everyday living and projects and our own emotional state that we get tunnel vision. We are so focused on the go, go, go of our lives or on our emotional rollercoaster, that we miss the here and now of life and relating. When this happens, unfortunately, our partner can only be seen in our peripheral vision if at all.

How can we feel connected, loved and satisfied in our relationship, when our partner resides outside our radar?

When we are not in sync and attuned to each other, it is very difficult to feel connected and derive pleasure from our interactions and relating. We just go about the days, one after another, missing opportunities for coupling and bonding. We don't see or feel our partner. We feel neglected, taken for granted and alone. We feel drained and dissatisfied. We come not to like our partner as most interactions become about them not doing enough and not being there creating further distance and disjoint.

The kicker is that we blame our partner for not being there. When in truth, we failed to really see them there in the first place and have in one way or another driven them away.

Our job is to widen our radar's perimeter and refocus our lenses. This is accomplished by slowing down our pace, simplifying our lifestyle and approach to life, limiting our involvement with outside forces creating more down time, and owning and caring for our own needs and letting go of owning and caring for those of others. This preserves energy. This creates space for change. This makes us available and able to see our partner. This allows for newness.

With this new fertile ground for relating, anything is possible! Here is your chance to entice, seduce, romanticize, thrill, excite, explore, stretch, challenge, grow, connect, liven, deepen, and brighten your interactions and relating. Here is your chance at getting in sync and connected. Here is your chance at feeling your love and sharing delightful and spellbinding moments.

Go ahead and make your partner a bleep on your radar screen!!

Happy Bleeping!!!
