Intention: what is your relationship with intention really about? Is it a new tool you use in order to have some sort of influence over what happens in the external aspects of your life? For instance if my intention was to have a life full an abundance of love and in doing that  my hope would that some how that would delivery me a loving relationship. Or is your relationship with intention a tool you use in order to have a guiding principal in your life.  If my intention was to have a life full of an abundance of love then that becomes my guiding principal and starts to influence who I am and how I respond to every relationship and event.  Tune in to find out and discuss the difference between external influence and internal influence has on your life and those around you.

We hear constantly, "trust in the process," just trust, everything is going to be ok, "if you trust your intuition you are on the right path." All of this is great advice in theory but how do we really do that, and what is needed to make that stick?

Sometimes it is to learn to let go of expectations, attachments to things that hamper the happiness that we are seeking. At the time it seems to be a senseless painful experience but looking back often we can find unexpected gifts.

So if knowing that things ultimately turn out to bring us closer to ourselves and the world and potentially bring us more joy, what is it that makes it so difficult to have trust? And what can we do to bring more trust into our consciousness? Is it trust that is the missing component to more joy?

Listen and Call in to Lisa and Laura with your questions on how to enhance your day to day happiness and fulfillment in your relationships, career and romance and what it is we need to effect that change. Tune in and the number to call in live will be given.

Relationships Co-Op Radio

Nov 19, 2008 - How our Family of Origin affects our Relationships

What we learn:
This is where we learn how and who to be in relationship. It is the playground where we create our relationship myths from: Men will always leave; a good man is hard to find; I can not trust a women; women are just in for a free ride; in a relationship you cant have commitment and fun; you cant have your dreams filled inside a relationship; or committed relationship comes at a cost to personal fulfillment.

Who we pick:
We pick someone who presents that they will fulfill the needs that were not met when we were young; we are attracted to someone with a lot of the negative and positive characteristics of our parents. The question is, what do you do with them. Do you use them to create a smaller and more confined box or relationship, or do you use them to rewrite the story and have a more fulfilled relationship and life?

How we pick:
In the beginning we look for who is going to make us feel good, who makes us feel smart, special, good looking, capable, competent, safe and more complete. We look for characteristics that we either received or didnt receive from our parents. They are going to show up in some form in our relationships. These are the things that attract us and can break us apart.

How we get stuck:
We get stuck when we either run from what is not working. We blame it on the other person because they are not being what we need them to be or not being what we had imagined them to be. If they are what we wanted them to be, we become bored with the safe little box we have created in our relationship and begin to search for things outside ourselves to feel fulfilled. Both ways we end up blaming our relationship for not meeting our needs. This reinforces our idea that something outside of ourselves is going to complete us or make us feel better!
