When you see a couple holding hands, does it make you feel unhappy? At times, whether you are single or in an unsatisfying relationship, you feel unhappy when you see others who seem happy in their relationships. You see couples holding hands, even walk embraced, and this makes you think you are the only one in the world who is not happy, who does not have a good intimacy or who is alone. But often what seems to you to be “a happy couple” isn’t so happy; often what you see isn’t what is actually happening between the two. Often partners, even though they go through difficult period and bad relationship still attempt to show their “best” part while outside. Indeed, at times you know your friends are having a terrible relationship (and you even wonder why they stay together). But it might have also happened to you that friends of yours have announced their separation and you wondered: how come, they always seemed to be such a wonderful couple? How to feel better and happier about yourself and your life? Is there anything you can do to feel happier about yourself and your life? Less frustrated about your own failed attempts at relationships? More secure about being by yourself – or about attempting to find a partner with whom to develop a satisfying relationship? Indeed there is: take the time to get to know yourself better. This might sound odd: “Getting to know myself better?” But yes. Often we don’t know ourselves as much as we can. Often we neglect to see parts of ourselves we rather not see (and we then deny having these parts in us; whether because they remind us of our parents or because we think these parts are not appreciated by society). Consequently, even though you might be unsuccessful in developing a successful intimacy, you might not have the courage (or the wisdom) to get to know yourself better in order to realize what in you is preventing you from developing the relationship you so much strive to have. Getting to know yourself better is a step towards having a successful intimacy Getting to know yourself better includes body-mind-soul interaction. It is not only mental knowledge – becoming aware of a host of factors which drive you to behave one way or another – but also getting in touch with your intuition (which, unfortunately, you might have avoided until now). When you are in touch with your intuition you are more in touch with “who you are”, and therefore can make better decisions about life and relationships. When you are in touch with both your intuition as well as your cognitive abilities you also carry yourself physically in a healthier way (which accounts both to your eating habits and your posture). You then project to your environment (dating partners and prospective partners) a healthier image of yourself which in turn opens the doors to more positive experiences and opportunities. All this has been proved, time and again, in both the professional and the personal arenas (such as: in job interviews). The more you merge your mind-body-spirit and get in touch with your intuition, cognitive abilities and physical well-being, the more empowered you become to find a suitable partner with whom to develop a satisfying and healthy intimate relationship.
