Reminders Are Good
Yes, it’s easy to forget that we promised ourselves we would take care of our most personal and intimate needs. This is a little reminder. Last year I shared with you the book, Calling In the One: 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life, by Katherine Woodward Thomas. To tell you the truth, I can’t believe how much I’ve resisted reading this book myself, probably because it’s not just a read. It’s a workbook with fascinating and fun assignments that require journaling, reflecting, and letting go of the past. And honestly, it’s been a minute since I’ve had any notion of calling anyone in. But, I had promised a friend that, in the new year, I would begin this journey. To that end, three of us meet weekly on Zoom to discuss our findings, and to hold space for and support each other on this journey. You can also do this work solo.
This book is not about tricks and techniques to seduce someone into loving you. Instead, the focus is on you, and BTW, that means all genders. All of us have aspects in need of healing so that we can enter relationships with less baggage, resentment, and other issues. Yes, we could all benefit from the deep dive into our inner selves that this workbook facilitates.
So, what impediments have you been carrying around in your life? Which spoken or unspoken agreements have you made with yourself or others that no longer serve you? To that point, Ms. Woodward also wrote a book entitled, Conscious Uncoupling. With, Calling in the One, It’s about finding out what you are doing, thinking, and being in your life that has created your current circumstances, and why you keep attracting the same kind of circumstances over and over again. Well, I can tell you that was a lot I didn’t know about myself before undertaking this project. In other words, Calling in the One is really about calling in the one that matters the most: you. Once you call in yourself to honor, respect, and take care of your emotional self, you can more easily attract what your heart most desires in the right partner. This book affirms that our outer world is a direct reflection of our inner world. Because as one dear friend so astutely put it, “You don’t know, what you don’t know.”Are you ready?
