7 Valentine's Day Secrets for More Love...

7 Valentine's Day Secrets for More Love...

valentinesday.jpg As you've probably noticed, we are all being bombarded with messages like don't forget the flowers, boxes of candy, and of course, the chocolate diamonds because Valentine's day is
tomorrow.


Valentine's day can bring up a myriad of emotions which can either bring couples closer for a short period of time or create feelings of loneliness and separation for other couples or singles.


So how can you deal with a holiday like this and actually enjoy yourself, whether you are in a "relationship" or not?


Here are 7 secrets to filling your relationships with more love--no matter what day it is from our "Red Hot Love Relationships" program...


1) Don't Forget Kindness and Thoughtfulness


We all get in a rush sometimes and forget to be kind. We just want to get the things done that we have to get done and move along to the next thing to be done. Whether you are currently in an intimate relationship or not--take a moment to be kind to the people in your life.


Kindness certainly doesn't have to mean "doing" for someone (but it can.) It can mean just giving a smile, sending a kind, loving thought, or simply listening to a story that you may have heard many times before.



2) Don't Forget Appreciation


So often we find ourselves dwelling on what irritates us about the people in our lives and we forget to appreciate the things about our relationships that are working. Appreciation only works when you want nothing in return.


If there are "strings" along with your appreciation of another person, (like you want appreciation in return) it will seem like an empty, needy gesture. Appreciation has to be expressed from your heart and in such a way that is genuine.



3) Listen Closely to What Your Partner Wants


Whether it's to make plans for a Valentine's day celebration or just listening to how your partner's day went--leave your ego and your desire to help or "fix it" for him or her at the door and just listen. We all get into habits that stifle communication--that shut off a true connection of the heart.


To open up and bring more joy and ease into your relationship, take a moment to realize what you do to assume, to fix or to judge (even though you may not think you are doing those things) and just listen to understand your partner.



4) Listen Closely to What You Want


Listening closely to what you want can be even harder than learning to listen to your partner. So many people have learned along the way that it's not safe to feel emotions--and they simply don't know how to listen to what they want.


You have to practice listening to the "real" voice inside you (not the one that finds fault with you and others) so that you can be honest and authentic with the people in your life. Learn who you are and honor that by letting others know who the real "you" is.


5) Don't Forget Discernment


The media likes to use hype and if you buy into what the mass media promotes as "the way" Valentine's day should be, then you might be setting yourself up for disappointment after the big day comes and goes.


Remember, it's not about the money you spend or where you bought that special diamond necklace or ring.


It's about the love that's underneath all of that.



6) Don't Forget to Be Present and Be Real


If you're like most people, you're usually either mentally thinking about what you have to do or are going to do in the future or thinking about what happened to you in the past.


The present moments fly by without you really participating in them. To be present and real means to be fully focusing on what's going on right here and right now.


Great relationships are built on that idea and whether it's Valentine's day or not, it's a terrific practice to get into.



7) Don't Forget to Think Long-Term Love and Not Just Short-Term "Wow"


Whether it's a dating situation or long-term committed relationship or marriage, when you are thinking about a celebration of your love or of your relationship, keep in mind what would create and help foster continued long-term love instead of going for the "wow" factor.


To know the difference, you have to be in tune with how you and your partner like to celebrate--and everyone's different so you have to pay attention and listen.


Whether you're with a special someone or not this Valentine's Day, be an example of love and not just this day but every day.

3 Tips for Communicating and Connecting With Your Partner

3 Tips for Communicating and Connecting With Your Partner from Love and Relationship Advice Blog Love and Relationship Advice Blog Susie and Otto Collins, Relationship Coaches, Authors, and Speakers When you feel ignored by your partner--Here's what to do... | Main | Could Gwyneth Paltrow's breakup have been avoided?

3 Tips for Communicating and Connecting With Your Partner

LovingCouple250.jpg Sometimes it's not just what you say but how you say it...


Hi--It's Susie and Otto and today, we have three great communication tips and a recommendation for you if you
want to get really good at communicating and connecting with your spouse or partner...


So when it comes to communication...


Here's a question for you...


Have you ever wished you had the right words to say that would immediately and instantly open your partner's heart to you?


Have you ever wanted to know not just the right words but how to say them that would totally eliminate any walls, distance between the two of you?


Here are 3 secrets to communicating in ways that create more closeness and connection between you and your partner...


1) Always keep your heart open and the rest truly takes care of itself.


That's right.


If you will only focus on keeping your heart open to your spouse or partner (and the other people in your life as well), then your communication will start to become a gift to them instead of something to be uncertain of or get defensive about.


Is this always easy-- no way.


But if you make this a practice, they'll feel it and miracles will start to happen in your relationship and life when you communicate from this place of pure love, openness and giving.

2) Don't ask your spouse or partner to go places emotionally or do things that you aren't willing to do.


For example...


We hear from our coaching clients all the time some version of "She won't talk to me" or "He won't share his true feelings with me" when you've also been pulling away from them.


If you want your partner or spouse to talk to you, be there for you emotionally or act in ways that you want--very often you have to "go first" and be more of what we call an irresistible invitation to love.


Trust us when we say-- the payoffs are incredible when you do this.


Next...


3) Another one of the true secrets to communicating and connecting is you have to Tackle Your Fear Demons


Fear makes cowards of us all and it's one of those things that causes you to pull back, hesitate and not say what's on your mind with your spouse, partner and the other people in your life.

The trick is to to recognize and become aware of the fear that comes up within you instead of doing everything you can to resist it and pretend it's not there.


So many men and women spend so much energy resisting the truth about their thoughts, their feelings and their life that they shut down and are constantly worried about what their spouse or partner will say or how they will react if they say what's on their mind.

To get good (or at least better) at communicating and connecting-- you definitely have to face your fear communication demons--whatever they are.


If you have any challenges with holding back your words or are afraid to share anything that's true for you out of fear of how the other person might react or what they might say or do...


Here's how to Make Your Communication Fear Demons Go Away For Good



Bonus Tip:


We mentioned this a moment ago about how important it is to use ONLY "Magic Words" when you communicate with your beloved and the other people in your life and here's a simple trick to help you know if you're using "magic words" or not...


Simply ask yourself...


"Is what I'm about to say and how I'm going to say it going to pull them closer or push them further way?"


This one question can take you pretty far in connecting with your love.

The Secret to Falling in Love All Over Again…

The Secret to Falling in Love All Over Again…

couplewalkingsmiling150.jpg Whether you’ve been together 6 months or 60 years, there can come a time when you don’t feel like the love you used to have is there anymore. And you can feel pretty lonely and confused when this happens!


Part of this is a normal and natural evolution of relationships but that doesn’t mean that you can’t recapture the spark and learn how to keep it alive and well—You can!


Here’s what a woman told about her longing for her man to show her love the way he used to…


“He used to bring me flowers for no reason at all and he always told me I was beautiful. He used to compliment me, and look at me with desire in his eyes… he used to comment on my hair and the way I dressed, kiss me at any given opportunity. He never left the house without a hug and kiss and saying I love you. We used to talk a lot… but now, I don't know what went wrong. What happened and how can we get the spark back?”


Here’s the thing about getting the spark back…


You first have to really want to be with your partner and also, it may seem counter-intuitive—but you also have to look at how you’re treating him or her.


We know that looking at yourself when you don’t feel loved doesn’t come easy—but bear with us.
For instance, listen into your thoughts…


Are you thinking something like this…


"Why does he always...?" or "I hate it when she..."


If you are (and most of us do automatically find fault with our partner after the first blush of love wears off), then believe it or not, those negative thoughts are keeping alive what you don’t want instead of what you do want.
If you want your partner to start coming closer to you, do something as simple as making the switch to something like this when negative thoughts come up...


"I appreciate him for ________" or "I don't know why she's doing that and instead of guessing and judging, I'll be open to listening to find out."


Making this very simple shift can start the ball rolling to YOU feeling more loved than maybe you have for a very long time.


If you doubt us, try it for yourself and see what happens.


Next Tuesday, we're doing a teleseminar and web cast just for women called, "How To Hypnotize His Heart..." where we’ll give more great tips and ideas about how to get the spark back and keep it alive.


You can listen in and participate no matter where you live as long as you have a telephone OR access to the internet.


If you're a woman and want to feel totally loved and cherished by your man--then you need to sign up now...

couplebeachsunset136.jpg It’s that time of year when we find ourselves taking a critical look at our lives – and for most of us, our relationship comes under scrutiny. Maybe you’re asking yourself: Is this it? Where’s the passion, the excitement and the love we once felt for each other? Is this all there is?


Well, take heart and know that the possibilities only end when we stop reaching, stretching and evolving. Every good relationship undergoes struggle and moments when it feels like it’s dead on the vine. If there’s still an interest, a spark of hope and desire for deep connection and passion, there’s a way.


And that’s why two of our colleagues are creating a FREE online event for the evolution of love and desire called: The Passion Evolution Summit: Unlock the Keys to Lasting Love, Relationship & Sex!” It’s like a Sunday brunch for relationship tools, inspiration and exciting new possibilities.

P.S. Most of us are looking at our relationship and asking: What’s in this for me? Instead of asking: What can I bring to love, to us? Enjoy the summit! It’s going to be evolutionary!

The Love Tragedy That Could Easily Be Avoided...

heartbleeding140.jpg If we were to ask you if you knew how to talk...


Your answer (if you didn't laugh at us and think this was a stupid question) would be...


"Of course" ...


That's because you know how to talk.


We all do.


The tragedy in most relationships and marriages is...


...otherwise kind, loving and good men and women don't know how to talk to one another in ways that open each
other's hearts.


That's right..


Most people don't know how to communicate and connect with their spouse or partner so they want to open and talk about ANYTHING (especially their innermost thoughts and feelings that you long to hear).


We've created a video where we give you 3 ways to talk to your partner that almost automatically opens their heart to you.


In addition to showing you how to use the right words that work every single time when you're talking to your spouse, partner and the other important people in your life--we also tell our "soul mate" story that's both inspiring and heart-warming.


So the video is really worth your time.

When you feel ignored by your partner--Here's what to do...

When you feel ignored by your partner--Here's what to do... from Love and Relationship Advice Blog Love and Relationship Advice Blog Susie and Otto Collins, Relationship Coaches, Authors, and Speakers What Every Woman Should Know About Keeping Her Man's Interest... | Main | 3 Tips for Communicating and Connecting With Your Partner

When you feel ignored by your partner--Here's what to do...

coupledistant150.jpg When you don't feel very important to your partner anymore and it's driving you crazy, you can end up saying and doing all kinds of things that just make your partner pull even further away from you.


Whether your partner believes that he or she is guilty of ignoring you is irrelevant because in most instances, feeling ignored is all in the eye of the beholder.


Here's how one woman describes her problem with her partner's actions...


"I met my boyfriend at the ballroom dancing and my biggest frustration is that when we go dancing now, he spends most of his time talking to women and he ignores me completely.


"He keeps on saying that he loves me but he is not interested anymore in dancing and he would rather socialize. How can I stay with him and not react and create fights over this matter.


"I would like to have joy and energy when I go dancing, rather than being frustrated, jealous and angry with him and then we fight."


When you feel ignored, no amount of logic and explanation can make it better.


And you can still be jealous and feel ignored even though your partner feels he or she is giving you lots of attention.


So what do you do if you're feeling ignored by your partner and your jealousy causes you to start fights which threaten to ruin your relationship?


Let's go back to the woman who was angry with her boyfriend that he didn't dance with her anymore...(maybe you're in a similar situation with your partner but not about dancing)


Here are some ideas from our "No More Jealousy" program that she and you can do if you're being ignored...


(If you haven't gotten this program, it's gotten rave reviews and has saved relationships so take a step now by getting it to save yours.)


1. Ask yourself if there are times when you don't feel ignored by your partner. If there are times when you feel like you are getting the love you want from him or her, then weigh how much of the time you feel you're being ignored.


It so, tell yourself another "story" about what your partner's actions mean.


As with this woman, her partner told her that he isn't interested in dancing. If she believes him and gets attention from him at other times, she may have to stop telling herself the "story" that he doesn't want to dance with her. He may not want to dance period as he said. (But it's also possible he just wants to flirt with other women)


If there aren't times that you feel like you have his or her attention and love and constantly feel ignored, then you have more of a problem than jealousy.


If this woman doesn't feel loved at other times, then her partner's "socializing" at these dances can feel very threatening and rightfully so.


So look in all honesty at your entire relationship to see the degree in which you're being ignored overall.


2. If you're not getting what you want from your relationship most of the time, then stop being angry and take a step to figure out if you can get it from this relationship.


This woman has talked to her partner about his conduct and he's told her that he doesn't want to change and that he'd rather socialize than dance.


Even though she doesn't like his answer, he is telling her what is important to him.


That's a example of a big stumbling block in relationships...when one person wants another to change a certain way and the person doesn't want to.


As painful as it is, when this happens, we fight with the reality of what is.


And this is a fight you can't win.


As we see it, this woman has two choices if her partner isn't willing to dance with her as she wants...


*She can accept that he doesn't want to dance and she can dance with other men. She can join his socializing with the other women. If he doesn't include her, that's another problem and should be a red flag for her.


or


*She can re-evaluate whether she wants to be in this relationship or not.


She may have to decide whether to stay in or leave her relationship.



This man may not love her the way she wants to be loved and may never want to.


The thing of it is, you can't force someone to act in loving ways toward you if they don't want to.


Stop the unhealthy cycle of being angry and fighting and look at this relationship in an honest light. Look at whether you both want the same things overall and if you do, then find ways to come together.


If not, ask for what you want and pay attention to what your partner says and does. Notice whether he or she comes toward you or away from you during the next few weeks or months.


Then you'll have your answer.


If you're being ignored, take a bird's eye view of your situation and honestly assess whether it's a deal breaker for you or not.


If it isn't, you can learn not to be jealous in those situations and you can learn to enjoy your relationship as you once did.


If it is, then take a step to see if change is possible and if it isn't, as much as it may be painful to you, take a step toward leaving so you can create a better relationship for yourself.

Could Gwyneth Paltrow's breakup have been avoided?

Could Gwyneth Paltrow's breakup have been avoided? from Love and Relationship Advice Blog Love and Relationship Advice Blog Susie and Otto Collins, Relationship Coaches, Authors, and Speakers 3 Tips for Communicating and Connecting With Your Partner | Main | 4 Tips When You're Caught in a "Not-So-You" Embarrassing Love Moment

Could Gwyneth Paltrow's breakup have been avoided?

brokenheart.jpg According to a Washington Post article, Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly uses the term "conscious uncoupling" to describe her breakup with Chris Martin.


The term is coined by Los Angeles therapist and author Katherine Woodward Thomas to describe how “to create a map for a couple to consciously complete a relationship — to have an honorable ending.”


While we are all for the "conscious uncoupling" idea, we are even more in favor of creating a map for consciously living every day in a relationship!


How much pain and heartache could be by-passed if couples would only begin their relationship by consciously creating it!


Whether you're single right now, starting a new relationship or you've been with your partner for many years, we invite you to start today consciously creating it.


Here are 3 ways for you to begin doing that...


1.As soon as they come up (and they will after the honeymoon period), become aware of any limiting thoughts and beliefs you're telling yourself about your partner and your relationship.


There are many habits, thoughts and beliefs that can short-circuit your relationship.


The idea is to discover the ways that are keeping you from having what you want your limiting patterns), learn how to interrupt a limiting pattern which is just a habit, and then learn how to create new empowering patterns-reinforcing them until they become new habits.


To discover your limiting beliefs and patterns, here are some questions to answer…


*Do you anticipate your partner's reaction in a negative way like telling yourself or others "He always…" or "He never…"?


*Are you always waiting for the "other shoe to drop," anticipating and waiting for him to do something wrong or not being who or what you want? If so, just become aware of the belief and story that consistently comes up for you.


*Do you have a fear that he'll leave or that you're too old/too fat/too whatever? Do you have any other fear that's keeping you from what you want?


*Pay attention to your "buts." Every time you use a "but," you're putting up roadblocks and telling the Universe that you don't deserve what you want.


Finish this sentence-"I could have the relationship I want and love I want but________" or "I could hypnotize my man but _________"


2.Challenge unspoken beliefs, thoughts, assumptions


We love author Byron Katie's questions for making a mind shift and here are our adapted questions to ask yourself in order to challenge those thoughts and beliefs that may or may not be true…


*The first one to ask is "Is what I'm thinking true?"


If you know for a fact that it is true, then it's up to you to learn how to calm yourself if it's a triggering situation so you can make a choice about how you react.


*If you don't know if your thoughts or beliefs are true, then you'll want to ask yourself these next questions to break through your habitual reaction…


"What do I feel and how do I react when I believe that thought?"
"If that thought didn't exist, how would I feel?"
"What are 3 things I'd do if I didn't have that thought?"



3.Be open to not getting defensive and shifting to another thought that will bring you closer to what you want.


Here are some ideas…

*Tell yourself yourself your partner's not the enemy and remind yourself you have choice.

*Ask yourself if the opposite of your "but" could also be true. Use "because" instead of "but"-"I could have the relationship I want because I'm willing to try some new things."


*Remember what you love and appreciate about yourself and your partner.


*Ask yourself "Is this how I would treat a beloved?"


*Envision a positive outcome to the situation. No changes will happen unless you think it's possible.


*Find something to appreciate about your partner and about yourself. Know that you both deserve love.


You'll find that the negative thoughts and beliefs don't happen as often as you make other choices. Like any other skill, when you practice, new pathways are formed and each time you do it, the skill increases and becomes more automatic.


While we don't know if Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship breakup could have been avoided, we do know that they would have had a much greater chance of staying happily together if they had used these ideas.


This is just a brief snapshot of what consciously coming together can look like. If you want a happy, peaceful, loving relationship, we invite you to create it consciously and with loving intention.

2 Common Gripes Men Have About Women--And What You Can Do About Them

2 Common Gripes Men Have About Women--And What You Can Do About Them from Love and Relationship Advice Blog Love and Relationship Advice Blog Susie and Otto Collins, Relationship Coaches, Authors, and Speakers Jealousy can be controlled and you can do it! | Main | Joy, Happiness, Love. It's All About Relationships!

2 Common Gripes Men Have About Women--And What You Can Do About Them

couplearmwrestle150.jpg If you're really frustrated right now in your relationship because you're not as close as you used to be and you just can't understand one another anymore...


Here's good news...


...a VERY simple "tweak" that we want to share with you could make all the difference to help you create more love.


One woman who answered one of our surveys where we asked men what their biggest frustration is told us
this...


"I'm a woman... But I think my boyfriend would say HIS biggest frustration is my need to analyze things or expect him to read my mind and what he wants most from me is for me to be direct and clear about what I need from him."


Wow--in reading hundreds of replies from men, this woman came up with a couple of really big "gripes" that many men have about women.


We're certainly not picking on women here because there are an equal number of ways that women are frustrated with their men.


But whether you're a man or a woman, there's a lot to learn here about how to keep love and intimacy alive and strong over the years!


So let's see how this dynamic of expecting a man to be a mind-reader works and what you can both do instead...


Sara and Rob had been together for 15 years and although they'd say they got along pretty well, there were many times when they just didn't understand one another or seem to speak the same language.


And their frustration with each other could blindside them over just about anything.


Lately, Sara's been having to take increasingly more care of her 85 year old mother who still lives in her home a few miles from Sara and Rob.


Sara feels like her life was already busy but now it's even more impossible to get everything done that she thinks should be done.


She's finding that she's really angry that Rob doesn't seem to see all that she has to do and volunteer to do more around the house.


And she takes it out on him by being cold and pulling away because she thinks that if he really loved her, he SHOULD already know what she needs--and do it to
help her out.


Although he knows that Sara's under a lot of stress because of her mom's health, he's becoming increasingly angry with her because she seems so angry with him and he doesn't know why.


They're snippy with one another, they seem to argue about everything and neither one of them knows how to get back to feeling the love they once felt for one another.


So if we were to bring out a magic relationship wand that would transform their relationship, here's what could happen...


--Sara could figure out what Rob could do to help her and then make a request that he could hear. In order for that to happen, she would need to let go of her belief that Rob should be a mind-reader, admit her feelings and make a clear, request.


She might say something like this from our Magic Relationship Words...


"Rob, I know I've been angry lately and have taken out my frustrations about having to do more for my mother out on you. I've been expecting you to be a mind reader about what I need and that's not fair. Would you be willing to take care of our dinner meal the 3 nights a week that I stop in at my mom's and take care of our laundry every other week?"


By admitting what she's been feeling, it takes all the defensiveness out of Rob and he can listen to her request with more of an open heart.


What about Rob?


--Rob can become more tuned into Sara and in order for that to happen, he would need to stop telling the "story" that he can never win and can never understand her. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when he does.


He can learn to bring himself into the present moment without his "story" when he sees that Sara is agitated.


Instead of getting out of her way or avoiding her, he can simply ask a question like this...


"Is there anyway I can support you right now?"


Both of them can practice the skills and techniques that we teach in our "Stop Talking on Eggshells" program.


If you're caught in an emotional standoff with your partner and you want to get back to the loving you once felt, it's
time for one or both of you to let go of holding on to your preconceived assumptions about the other, be direct and
clear and open the door to heartfelt communication.


Our desire for you is to have the love that you want and walking through that door is one way to bring it to you.

Stop the Bleeding in Your Relationship Before It's Too Late...

WomanUpsetCoveringEyes.jpg Sara thought it was too late to do anything about her relationship.


After all, even though they had only been married for 12 years, they barely talked anymore.


She was really caught off guard and scared about the future of her marriage when she went to the pharmacy to get her prescription for her birth control pills refilled.


When she realized that it had been nearly 5 and a half months since they'd made love, she was shocked and sad.


Sara was starting to see that if she didn't do something to stop the bleeding (and quick), she would either have to settle for a "Blah" relationship forever or continue to watch her marriage implode like her friend Marci's.


Sara loved Jim and thought to herself--


"We're too young to be this miserable. I'm not ready to give up on our love. I'm going to figure out how to revive our marriage"


...and that's what she did.


Her first move was to call us and ask for our advice and we told her that in any relationship where things aren't going as well as you like, the first thing you're going to want to do is "Stop The Bleeding."


Then we talked to her about our 10 keys for doing that and she was blown away.


What we told Sara that worked so well for her is what we're going to cover tomorrow night in our one-time only teleseminar we're calling "Stop The Bleeding..."

In anything in life that's worth having, there's ALWAYS a first step and in most relationships that first step is to "Stop The Bleeding."


What we've found is that when relationship challenges pop up for most people, they spend their time and energy either ignoring the problem or throwing what we call "gorilla dust" on the problem.


When a gorilla feels threatened and is forced to assume a defensive posture, it will throw up dust or dirt in order to distract or blind its opponent.


Men and women do the same thing in relationships...


Instead of tackling the real issues in their relationship, they'll throw "gorilla dust" and distract themselves and their partner from the real issues and unconsciously make things worse.


If there's any part of you that wants something more from your love relationship than you have right now, we urge you to go sign for tomorrow night's teleseminar and web cast.


We'll give you our 10 keys To "Stop The Bleeding" so you can get back to loving.

Jealousy can be controlled and you can do it!

jealousy.jpg If you're jealous or your partner is, it can feel like you have no control over your thoughts, actions or life. But the truth is that you, like many, many others can learn to change your jealous thoughts into ones that will keep your relationship healthy and growing.


Here's what a guy who bought our No More Jealousy program said about stopping his jealousy and saving his relationship...


"Hi Susie and/or Otto,
May I say that you have saved my relationship. I used to make false accusations, be jealous and get angry, though I would not know why, but listening to everything you two have said in your audio courses, I finally understand jealousy and why I am reacting like this. I have not finished reading the book or the audio courses, but my relationship is already improving.


Thank you so much. I am so grateful to you two, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know how to control my emotions.
And our relationship would've definitely ended, which would be terrible since we love each other so much. I didn't even know jealousy could be controlled, I thought it would always be inside of me...
Thanks again, you're the best!"


Like this guy, if you've been plagued by anger and making false accusations--and you can't even figure out where it's all coming from, you owe it to yourself and to your partner to get help now because stopping jealousy can be easier than you think.

4 Tips When You're Caught in a "Not-So-You" Embarrassing Love Moment

fearsm.jpg Ever said or done something that turned into a "not-so-you" embarrassing love moment?


We ALL have (and yes we're raising our hands here too)...


So, what exactly are we talking about when we use the terms "embarrassing" or "not-so-you" love moments?


It's a moment where you might normally be kind and loving but you say or do something that certainly doesn't come off that way...


It could be that you were harsh or critical about someone you love behind their back, they find out about it and then because you value your love (or friendship), you've got some explaining to do...


If you're a woman, it might be the way you say NO to his desires to have some fun in the bedroom when you might ordinarily say YES...


If you're a man, it could be a sudden "performance issue" in the bedroom...


It could be agreeing to do something you didn't really want to do (and getting upset about it later)...


You get the idea...


An embarrassing or "not-so-you" love moment could be anything where you're simply not acting or reacting in a way that would be the most loving, kind or connecting way or not the way things would normally be for you.


So, what do you do in moments like these to bring some sanity to situation that could lead to an even bigger mess or require some even fancier dancing to get out of?


Here are some very simple love ideas that we think you'll find helpful in many situations...


And while we're thinking about it--the tragedy for many women and men who come to us for our one-on-one "Relationship Reverse" love coaching by telephone and skype is that the sometimes VERY difficult situations they
find themselves in could have (in many cases) been avoided if they had done some of the things we're about to share with you earlier...


So here are a few pointers about how to deal with situations like this...


1) Don't pretend it didn't happen


Sometimes it can seem like the best thing to do after an embarrassing moment or situation has happened is to pretend that it didn't happen and just try to put it behind you as quickly as possible.


Pretending something didn't happen when it did eventually becomes the big white elephant in the middle of the room.


Everybody knows it's still there (it's unavoidable) even if you're trying to hide from it.


2) Admit the truth


You know what they say when it comes to healing a problem...


The first step to healing something is to admit that it's a problem. It's the same thing when it comes to situations like what we're talking about here. Admitting your part in the situation or even be willing to admit that "it" happened is huge when it comes to solving any issue between you and someone else.



3) Don't make it bigger than it is


Sometimes you make things WAY bigger than they have to be and one of the big reasons that this happens is because you continue to pour your energy into a situation when it may not be nearly as big of a deal if you took your focus on it down a few notches.


As we said a moment ago--don't pretend this situation didn't happen but don't focus on it forever either.


and finally...


This is beautiful...


4) Laugh about it now-- rather than later


Have you ever been in a situation where you said to yourself or someone else...


"One day I'll look back on this situation and laugh about it."


So, why not find the humor about the situation and laugh about it NOW instead of later? When you're able to do this, it can work wonders to transform hurtful or painful situations (especially in your own mind.)

Women most sexually confident at 31

Women reach a peak of sexual confidence at the age of 31, new research has found.

According to the study of 2,000 adults, the ripe old age of 31 is the time when most women are experienced enough to be confident in their body and their sexual prowess.

At the opposite end of the scale, women aged 25 are the least sexually confident.

The study, commissioned by Singles247.com, also found that being in a loving, long-term relationship enables women to express themselves more freely in a physical sense.

‘Across our lifetime it’s inevitable we’ll have good and bad experiences when it comes to romance and being intimate with a partner. In our younger days we might be more enthusiastic but the inexperience and insecurity is bound to take effect,’ says a spokesperson for Singles247.com. ‘It seems by the early thirties we’re a lot more content in ourselves and are better at dealing with any worries about our bodies so we’re more confident between the sheets.’

Men were also most confident when they reached their early thirties.

When quizzed about their sex life, however, just 12% of all participants described it as ‘very good’, with the average person ranking their sex life at a five out of ten.

One third said their current partner isn’t the best lover they’re had, and 30% said they felt their sex life was ‘very routine.’

There are many ways to spice up your love life. See our how to try something new in the bedroom or how to build intimacy articles for helpful hints and tips.

Remember that many couples go through periods where they experience a lack of sexual desire. Learn more about the stages and changes in a relationship.

If a lack of intimacy is really getting you down, why not post on our free relationship advice forum?
