Mirror Activity…archived 2002
Friday, June 11th, 2010Set aside at least one hour to conduct the Mirror Activity. This self-viewing exercise is one you can do alone or with a partner. Couples sometimes discover hidden secrets about the other that they never realized were there, such as a delighting in your shoulder formation, a special mole, or a twinkle in the eyes. Use this process to learn how to accept and embrace yourself. It’s created for self-awareness (toward self-acceptance.) It’s not there to give your partner criticizing feedback, only encouragement.

Your Life Story…archived 2005
Friday, June 11th, 2010Some of the best things I learned from Cheryl Richardson as my coach were these three things:
1. Think big (cast the dream, create the vision, set the intention)
2. Admit your weaknesses (reality check, honor where you are and are not)
3. Watch for early signs of failing/trouble (early warning signs prevent disaster later on, avoiding denial, breakthrough empowerment happens with early intervention).
Now, if we were to translate these three principles and commands to your sex life, what do you think that would be like?
