Start With a Clean Slate ... and aim for perfect love

Start With a Clean Slate … and aim for perfect love For the best summer—and relationship—ever, start with a clean slate. Wipe away the black marks and start fresh, aiming, once again, for perfect love. Only this time, do it with perfect love in clear view. Know what you’re going for, and you have a better shot at it. According to Robert J. Ste berg, a psychologist and psychometrician born in NJ, perfect love is a high level of intimacy, passion, and commitment. • Intimacy: Psychological knowledge shared, and connection based on that knowledger

Meet Six Needs and Bond for Life

INSIDE RELATIONSHIPS BY JAN DENISE RELEASE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2009 Meet Six Needs and Bond for Life Relationships make for a happy, fulfilling life or a miserable existence. So, why didn't our parents sit us down early on and teach us to do relationships well? If you think about their relationships, the answer might be painfully obvious. There are few people doing relationships well. Some avoid the ugliness by repressing what's felt, controlling what's expressed and avoiding confrontation.

Lose Weight, Change Your Life

INSIDE RELATIONSHIPS BY JAN DENISE RELEASE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2009 Lose Weight, Change Your Life Last week I asked: How would your life change if you were to lose weight and satisfy the hunger that food can't? To help answer the question, I also posed it to Keith Ahrens, the man I introduced last week, who lost 200 pounds, became a fitness trainer and wrote his memoir "Outrunning My Shadow." "I wish I had a video camera when I see someone I haven't seen in a few years," says Ahrens.

You ARE Love

You ARE Lover By Jan Denise From the time we learn the word “no,” we begin to get the message that what we would do naturally is “bad.” As young children, we can’t make a distinction between our behavior and ourselves, so we buy into a lie—the lie that in order to be good enough we have to sit still and be quiet, or look pretty, or SOMETHING. But you know as well as I do that some of the demands we place on children (and ourselves) are more apt to stifle them than make them good.

Slow Down the Clock

INSIDE RELATIONSHIPS BY JAN DENISE RELEASE: FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2009 Slow Down the Clock As I mentioned last week, we can't stop the aging process; but we (SET ITAL) can (END ITAL) slow it down … and appreciate the blessing of time. A few wrinkles (OK, eventually, a lot of wrinkles) are a small price to pay for what matters on the other side of what doesn't. Seems we have to learn for ourselves that money can't buy love and that we can't really love others until we've learned to love ourselves. That's big!

Where are you headed ... in your relationship?

Where are you headed ... in your relationship? by Jan Denise As seen in Jan's relationships colum "Choosing Love" in the May 2012 issue of In Jersey magazine If you don't want to take a vacation, you can stay home; but if you don't want to go anyplace in your relationship, you can't just stay put. You will move to a lower place, a hell of sorts. Life doesn't stand still; it either grows or dies. The same is true for your relationship. If you are not moving closer as partners, you are moving apart. There is no pause button. So, where do you want to go in your relationship?

Bringing the Unknown into the Known

Bringing the Unknown into the Knownr By Jan Denise The goal of learning is to bring the unknown into the known. The mere act of embracing the unknown as the truth requires a degree of faith. When we limit ourselves to believing for the known—or what we have already proven to be true—we also limit our results to those we have experienced. While we can move beyond our own experience by learning from somebody else’s experience, we are still operating in the known—albeit it “unknown” or new to us.

Mirror Reflects Hunger Within

Mirror Reflects Hunger Within Two out of three Americans are overweight, making obesity the second leading cause of preventable death. Instead of eating less, we spend $35 billion a year on weight loss products. We're not stupid; we're in pain. We have an emptiness, a yearning, a hunger … and we're doing our damnedest to satisfy it with food. We can't. So, what is this hunger, and how can we satisfy it? We want to feel connected and secure, we want to have something to contribute and we want to be gaining ground. We want to know that we're worthwhile.

Lousy Segments Make for Good Life

INSIDE RELATIONSHIPS BY JAN DENISE RELEASE: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 Lousy Segments Make for Good Life Often we're so engrossed in snippets of our lives that we fail to see the big picture; but life, directed by the mother of all directors, has a way of bringing the pieces together. Think of your favorite movie. It's tough to find a single segment that conveys the message of the whole; individual pieces range from blissful to horrifying. And it takes all of the pieces to create a great movie -- or a great life. I recently watched "Scent of a Woman" for the third time. Lt. Col.

I feel that my marriage is going downhill fast and I want to save it. Let me tell you the story. A couple of years ago, I accidentally found e-mails that my husband was sending to an old girlfriend he wanted to meet up with. He told her a ton of lies about our relationship. I confronted him, and everything has been going OK. But now he is meeting women online and talking "personal" talk to them.

See & Celebrate What’s Real by Jan Denise You’re gritting your teeth and talking under your breath again, wondering if he deliberately provokes you … and if he waits until people are watching to do it. It’s no coincidence that he’s more irritating when you’re the center of attention. That is, after all, when you’re more consumed with presentation—and what everybody else is thinking!

(END ITAL) To walk away from what we hoped -- and promised -- would last forever is one of the most heart-wrenching breaks we can make. It feels as though we're cutting off a piece of ourselves … and we struggle desperately to decide if it's right and if it's necessary. How do we know?

Resolve to Be Happy This Year

Resolve to Be Happy This Year Life is about falling down and learning from it, getting up and starting again. And if that doesn't sound like fun to you, just watch a baby do it. Better yet, let the baby wrap his little fingers around yours and help him learn to walk. Look into his twinkling eyes and see if you don't get a new perspective on resilience — joy in the stumbling and peace in the falling. There might be some cries and screams, but they won't keep him down. With a little coaxing, you can turn his cries into smiles and laughter.

What Are You Doing to Your Child?

INSIDE RELATIONSHIPS WEEKLY COLUMN RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2009 What Are You Doing to Your Child? When you hold a newbo baby, you sense something God-like … I dare say, even if you're an atheist. A baby is untainted, sacred, perfect! It's important to hold that thought because incessant crying can get old, questions can grow monotonous, and running after a toddler can be a full-time job. That's not really the problem, though; the problem is that you already have a full-time job.

See What Lurks Beyond Your Own Drama

INSIDE RELATIONSHIPS BY JAN DENISE RELEASE: FRIDAY, JULY 31, 2009 See What Lurks Beyond Your Own Drama Is there somebody who always leaves you feeling better than he found you? I used to live next door to such a person. Whenever I ran into Bob, whether it was for 20 seconds or 20 minutes, I'd later count our meeting among the high points of my day. It took me a while to figure out why. Bob was a psychologist -- still working, still playing tennis, still stimulating -- in his 70s. And he had, with much practice, learned how to make everybody feel accepted: He accepted them.

Entertain Each Other First

Entertain Each Other First We have more entertainment at our fingertips than ever, but are we any less apt to be bored in our relationships? Most of us carry our own personal entertainment screen around with us—our favorite people, music, reading material, and games. If somebody keeps us waiting, or just bores us, we can escape. Among other things, this promotes zero tolerance for boredom. Ironically it also promotes boredom … because our needs for stimulation are not really met by the little screen. And our needs for intimacy and companionship may be getting buried altogether.

No, I'm Fine, Really ... there's no reason to reject me

No, I’m Fine, Reallyr There’s No Reason to Reject Me By Jan Denise My mom says that when I was a baby, they could pick me up, and I was fine and happy. They could put me down, and I was still fine and happy. No crying. For decades, I thought what a perfectly delightful baby—so pleasant, no matter what. I wonder now, though, if I was ever really fine and happy. Maybe I just intuited that everybody around me was sufficiently taxed, and that I had better be fine and happy!

Off to Mom’s … to see how enlightened we really are In keeping with this month’s travel theme and Mother’s Day, why not plan a visit to Mom’s? If you have a whole litany of excuses, maybe I can help. Let’s start by acknowledging that our deepest wounds are often created when we’re still dependent on a caregiver … and mothers are first in line for that role. I like the way Ram Dass (a contemporary spiritual teacher) said it, “If you think you’re so enlightened, go and spend a week with your parents.”
