Do you wish you had more love in your life? Would you like to put more time into your dating life or relationship, but don't know how you possibly could? Do you run from one pressing task and obligation to the next, checking items off your endless "to-do" list, never feeling like you get to the fun stuff, 'cause (oops!) - you didn't include any?
The majority of the women who come to me for love coaching are single and sad about it, but when I ask them if they go out at least three times a week looking for "Mr. Right," they look at me aghast... "Three times a week?! I don't have that kind of time!" But it never occurs to them that if they don't have that kind of time to find someone, how will they have it to spend with someone once they find him?
Relationships of all kinds take not just quality time but quantity. The greatest gift we can give of ourselves is ourselves, and the only way we can truly do this is by sharing our time.
But there's a dangerous epidemic in modern life that I'm sure you've noticed, that is contributing to the abysmally lonely lives of many singles and the breakdown of many couples: We're overscheduled, overworking, overcommitted, and spending what little free time we do have on things that were designed to save us time but seem to suck all that we've got... Things like email and instant messaging and the internet. We give our best face time to technology, and then wonder why we're so lonely. When we actually do spend precious moments on things that replenish us, such as napping, bathing, or going to dinner with friends, we guiltily tell ourselves that we're being indulgent and that we should be more productive. When ironically, studies on excellence, such as the results of Olympic athletes, show that a crucial key to being truly effective at anything involves being not only well-trained but relaxed and happy.
If any of this sounds familiar then listen to "Enlightening Relationships" this week as Eric and I interview Adoley Odunton and Deborah Deras, life coaches and authors of "Confessions of an Adrenaline Addict - How to Achieve More With Less Effort." Adoley and Deborah will share with us their inspiring personal journeys from being multi-tasking professional women who endured life-threatening illnesses, career failures, and relationship breakdowns, to living happier, healthier lives of balance and grace. Through their work with hundreds of clients with their company Synergy Unlimited, they have devised a program that can empower and enable you to achieve success by kicking the addiction of overdoing, eliminating energy drainers and replacing them with energy boosters, connecting to your intuition to make your spiritual wellbeing an integral part of your life, and producing results by working smarter not harder!
So tear up that soul-crushing, health damaging, love blocking "to-do" list, and tune in, call in, and be Enlightened.
