[fusion_text]I originally went to Les' Vinyasa flow class because Derek Loudermilk said Les was one of the best men he knew. With an introduction like that, from a person like that, I HAD to go.

What I found was man who seems to have been smoothed out by the roughness of life. He had an ability to make me (in the back row of the class) feel like I was totally okay as I was and that I couild do anything.

I know that this is what yoga teachers are supposed to do but I’m a tough person to impress in this way and boy did Les ever impress.

Walk the talk myself first.

Phase 1 Day8: You are... where? Relationships. 

Picture

Before we move on to phase two and look at what kind of relationships you want in your life, it’s time to take another look at yourself. 

What you have is usually the product of who you are.  If, as Jim Rohn says, you are the average of the 5 people closest to you... they are also a reflection of you. 

If you’re surrounded by awesome, life affirming people who light you up and are making a difference in the world... keep on, keepin’ on. 

If you’re somewhere shy of that, you might have some work to do. 

Relationships Phase 1 Day 7: What are you a clearing for?

Picture

We’ve looked generally at the state of your relationships so far and now we’re going to look at.... you.

...or, more accurately, you are going to look at you. 

It’s surprising how often people seem to be surprised when it’s pointed out that the common factor in all of their relationships is them. You are the common factor in all of your relationships... even the non-existent ones. 

What kind of relationships are you prepared to have? One clue, it’s the kind you currently have. 

We get what we’re a clearing for. That might sound metaphysical and squishy but ultimately it’s true. 

We can’t lift weight that we’re not strong enough to lift, and we can’t have relationships that we’re not prepared or willing to have. 

This is a bit of a touchy subject for those in bad relationships. This kind of talk can land as blame, but it’s not. 

What we’re talking about is claiming responsibility for the relationships in your life. Again, this is not blame, this is a place of power.

Once you embrace your responsibility for how you are socially and what you have in terms of relationships, you can do something about it. 

If you are where you want to be, you can keep doing what you’re doing and know that you’re driving forward the life you want. 

If you’re not where you want to be, relationship-wise then now’s a chance to figure out why. 

So, what kind of relationships ARE you prepared to have? What are you open to? What are you closed to? What terrifies you? What fulfills you? What inspires you? What do you want but think you can’t have? What do you settle for? 

What kind of relationships are you a clearing for?

 Challenge: 

Ask yourself what kind of relationships you’re open to and what kind of relationships you’re a clearing for in the various kinds of relationship groups you’ve identified in your life. 

Phase 1 Day 4,5,6: What's working, what's not and what's success anyway?

Picture

We’re going to be merging a few parts for this post. These parts go together and doing one without the other is a little ... complicated. Which to choose first and how to do one without the other just seemed like a pointless exercise and so, we’re going to look at them together. 

Part A: Which of your relationships, and relationship groupings, are working? 

Part A I: Which of your relationships, and relationship groupings, are NOT working?

Part A II: How do you measure success in your relationships? 

Relationships can be tricky and can be seemingly working one day and not the next. Still we tend to be able to tell the difference when we stop and ask ourselves these questions directly. 

You can go into this as in-depth as you you’d like. Some relationships might simply not be working as well as you’d like. 

If something is “not working”, that doesn’t mean that it’s wrong, broken forever or in need of being ejected. All it means is that it doesn’t fit your current standards. 

When looking at how you measure what a working, successful, relationship is to you,  you will get a sense of what you want in each relationship or group. If you’re not where you want to be... well that’s coming.

Challenge:

Answer the following questions: 

-Which of your relationships, and relationship groupings, are working?

-Which of your relationships, and relationship groupings, are NOT working?

-How do you measure success in your relationships? 

Relationships Phase  1 Day 3- Inner Circle

Picture

You’ve looked at the relationships you have and the ones you’d like to have. The next step is to rank them a little. Let’s identify the most important ones to you. You can look at the top groups, the top people inside of those groups. We’re looking for the people with whom you most definitely want to maintain and cultivate a relationship. 

These are the people who can help grow you and who you can help to grow. 

This does not mean that the people not on the short list are unimportant. It’s important to identify the people that matter the most though and to know where your time and energy must first be focussed. 

It’s eye opening to see that we sometimes don’t spend the time on the people we say are important that would verify that they are indeed so.  I believe that while the success of  our relationships are a function of how much we “relate”, it’s also important for us to put energy in various forms into those we say are important to us. 

This goes double for those categories that are not currently peopled. If we want to have a mastermind group full of dynamic, driven and awesome people... What’re you waiting for? 

There are factors that limit us in relationships, things in us that might be sabotaging what we say that we want. We’ll look at some of that later but right now, look at who and what is most important to you. 

Challenge: 

-Identify the top relationship areas and the top people in your life.
