Is Ego bad? (Q+A time!)

Happy Tuesday! 

How was your Equinox?

Thank you so much to everyone who signed up for the Autumn Healing Meditation!

If you’d lie to get a copy of the recording to listen to and gain the energy benefits, you can go here and we will send it to you!

Today, I’m answering a question from our Goddess community.

Q: “Diana, I’ve been really working on my spiritual practice and trying to not take things personally in relationships. It’s not easy! One thing I wondered about – Ego bad? Where is the line between having a healthy Ego and an unhealthy one?

I love this question! Ego gets a really bad rap but really it has a very important purpose in our Lives!

Understanding this purpose can help you in all relationships.

Break the Board (Love and Life Advice!)

Happy Tuesday!

What is something you’ve done that has scared you?

When I was in high school, my sister and I took up Tae-Kwon-Do, which was super counter intuitive t the hard-core ballet classes I was taking at the same time. Talk about muscle memory confusion! 

One of the required components of passing to the next belt level was to break a wooden board with either our bare hand or foot. (I kept that detail to myself as I know my ballet master would have had a fit!) 

The process I went through internally to prepare for that taught me so many lessons about life and also relationships in the years to come. 

I’d love to share it with you with the intent that it supports you in being brave and opening up to what you truly desire! Listen below:

How to Have a Happy Relationship (5 Secrets from Happily Committed Couples!)

Happy Tuesday to you!

Can I share some exciting news before we get into today’s post? 

This weekend I am getting married to my love!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know it hasn’t been an easy road to get to this point!

I’ve had my heart broken, more than a few times.

I’ve broken hearts without meaning to.

I’ve doubted that I could ever love again or that maybe I was just too much for someone. 

I’ve feared letting someone in-what if they saw something they didn’t like and leave? 

So many things, Goddess!

But what I do know (OMG I channeled Oprah just then!) is that a ‘happy relationship’ is something  that can be cultivated. 

Once your inner ‘house’ is ready to receive another person and they you, there are things you can do to maintain a level of balance and happiness in your partnership.

And by the way, what I’m about to share also applies to friendships and other relationships too!

Here are 5 secrets to a happy relationship:

For more secret nuggets, watch the video but here is the quick cliff-notes version:

  1. Calendar ‘couple time’
  2. Find something to appreciate about the other person daily-and express it.
  3. Maintain your personal joy (don’t stop doing the things that make you happy). Be responsible for your own happiness.
  4. Make each other a priority.
  5. Explore professional support to make the relationship stronger.

When You’re Not Sure Which Way to Go… Do This!

Ever been torn between two options when t comes to a relationship?

Both may seem equally appealing (or not) and it can sometimes feel really frustrating to know what to do. 

So the clients come to me with a conundrum like this, I invite them to move out of their head and into that playful, receptive open space of possibilities. 

In order to access that space, you can do this simple thing…try ’em on.

Try on each choice for 24 hours.

Just for 24 hours, imagine that you’ve already made the decision to do XYZ (choice 1).

Live with it for 24 hours, take it into your body and act as if.

Notice how your body feels throughout the day and how this choice informs how you speak, how you move in your world, etc. 

Then, journal on that at the end of the day.

Shake it off and take deep breaths.

Then, the next day, ‘try on’ the other choice. Repeat. 

You can gain invaluable information if you are willing to fully surrender to each choice. 

I’ve had clients tell me:

  • “I knew what I wanted to do in the middle of the day. It was clear-like my head couldn’t get in the way.”
  • “Neither choice felt expansive…I realize I’ve been discounting a third possibility. I don’t know what the looks like but I’m going to stay open to that presenting itself instead of feeling like I have to choose between these two only.”
  • “Both made my body feel pretty neutral. I realize it really doesn’t matter which one I choose-both create the same result in my body. Interesting…”

So, there you have it.

Q: Are you willing to ‘try on’ different options this week for a 24-hour period?

No need to attach to the outcome or judge yourself or the experience. 

It’s about gathering information from your intuition and your body. Who knows? You may even get a clear sign out in the world. 

What do you have to lose but getting in your way?
