Every relationship you have ever had is really with yourself. Or an aspect of yourself that you have deemed good or bad. Therefore it’s fair to conclude that every person you will ever meet is in some way or another a facet of your personality.
We live in a mirror reality, where what we perceive is a reflection of what we think our reality is. Or you can think of it as the Universal Law of Attraction when it comes to relationships. You are what you put out there. You get what you give.
Have you been feeling crumby the past few days? Well, that cranky co-worker, who is getting on your nerves is just reflecting what is back at you. Do you find it hard to relate to a struggling family member? That is possible if your reality is filled with love and joy. We are unable to see that, which we are not.
This Mirror World can work against us or for us. With the acceptance that what you put out there, is what we get. We can start to change our reality, one thought at a time. It starts with kindness to yourself and forgiveness of others. Know that in every moment you can do better and you will see your reality shift with you.
The Act Of Intimacy
When you are unable to connect with that struggling family member, remember the act of Intimacy defined by Teal Swan’s video here, which will help you to meet in the middle. Find common grounds to link your two’s realities and interact healthily again. This concept is still hard for me to grasp, but every time I see a Therapist on TV, flipping their client’s emotions or reactions back at them. It shows me how it can be done.
So keep working on your sh*t and feel the benefits through loving relationships around you.
Live Joy, Renee
