Evolve Together
Make it a safe space to grow.
Most of us have been conditioned since childhood to focus on appearance. Good manners. Being polite. Getting better grades than our friends. Having the best job. Trying to ‘one up’ the family down the street.
This creates the illusion that appearance is + should be our focus.
This also reflects in our relationships.
We want our relationships to appear a certain way. ‘Couples goals’ become having the perfect social media photos, the perfect home, the dream vacations.
True couples go aren’t actually seen externally. They come from commitment to doing the work. To show up for yourself (which allows you to show up for another.)
To commit you are having a greater understanding of your own needs, boundaries, + the deeper layers of yourself. To commit to becoming safe in your body (regulating your nervous system) so that you can create safety for another.
This work can create resistance.
The ego doesn’t want to look at the roles we play in our relationships. It’s much easier to blame or to unconsciously control our partners (in an attempt to make ourselves more comfortable.)
True couples' goals create the space for evolution, freedom, expansion, open communication, + forgiveness.
A LOT of forgiveness.
True couples goals say “we are on a journey to heal together + to discover in each other without trying to control that discovery.”
True couples goals bring us back to self-trust
