IF, AT THE END OF THE YEAR YOU ARE:

1. SINGLE, wishing wholeheartedly to find a partner with whom to develop a successful intimate relationship;

2. SINGLE, afraid to get involved – once again – in an intimate relationship;

3. IN A RELAITONSHIP, on the brinks of a break-down, hoping to cultivate a new successful bond;

4. IN A RELATIONSHIP, desiring to improve it;

THEN -

Embark on THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS: take some time to figure out what went wrong regarding relationships this year and take the necessary steps to cultivate a successful bond next year.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS?

There are 4 basic requirements:

1. BEING MOTIVATED to get to know and understand yourself better;

2. MAKING TIME available to observe, look inwards and learn things about yourself you haven’t known until now;

3. GETTING UP THE COURAGE to acknowledge and accept what you observe and learn;

4. WILLING TO ADMIT MISTAKES and to take responsibility for your part in the failure of your relationships (or lack of).

WHAT DOES THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS CONSIST OF?

The Journey consists of 4 components:

1. OBSERVING YOURSELF and your interactions with your partner (or, in retrospect, with past partners);

2. GETTING IN TOUCH with your attitudes, feelings, reactions and behaviors regarding partners and relationships;

3. UNDERSTANDING FACTORS which exert power over your choices and behaviors in and around relationships;

4. BECOMING EMPOWERED to make the necessary changes vital for cultivating a healthy and successful intimate relationship.

HOW CAN YOU BEGIN YOUT JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS?

The way to begin your own Journey to Self-Awareness is to check, within yourself, if you:

1. Feel you comply with the 4 requirements;

2. Are willing to move ahead with the 4 components;

3. Make time to read books and/or attend self-awareness workshops;

4. Take the vow of honesty: promising yourself to acknowledge and accept what you find out about the “real you”.

Embarking on THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS will empower you to develop a satisfying intimate relationship next year.
