Life and Afterlife Coaching: Stepping Up to Love
On our most recent episode of Zodiac Divas with special co-host Butch Patrick, we discussed some of the ways in which 12-Step programmes can be applied to romantic relationships. Whether you have an addiction or not, everyone can benefit from the universal wisdom offered by the 12 Steps. Some of the slogans of AA that you can apply to your present relationship (or one you will be having in the future!) are:
"HOW: honesty, opennes and willingness...
Let go and let God...
Live and let live...
If it works...don’t fix it...
This too shall pass...
Let it begin with me...
Practise an attitude of gratitude...
Time wasted in getting even can never be used in getting ahead, and...
More will be revealed!"
Also, as Butch mentioned on the show, if you feel a resentment building toward your partner, pray for them. You will see that person in a different light and probably feel better about yourself in the long run. Prayer can also put things in perspective for you, reminding you to place principles above personalities and to keep the focus on yourself.
