Meditate Awake

DAILY INSIGHT One of the most common reasons for the breakdown of intimate relationships is a loss of connection. One or both partners feels a sense of disconnect; a lack of the closeness that they once felt so strongly. Over time this disconnect can turn into resentment or distrust. But it doesn’t have to. DAILY ACTION If you are in a romantic relationship, focus on connection today. Rather than big gestures, connection can be cultivated deeply in the seemingly insignificant moments. Look them in the eye and ask how they’re doing; and then listen to their response. Touch or kiss them without intending to initiate sex. Tell them that you see them, appreciate them, and want to be close to them. Care for your connection, and allow it to grow again.
