CHRISTMAS IS A TIME TO GIVE AND RECEIVE PRESENTS

As Christmas approaches you probably wonder what presents to give. If you have a partner you want to show how much you love him/her. You are also curious what gift they’ll give you. But if you don’t have a partner, here’s an idea for a great gift you can give to yourself this holiday season.

DO YOU WISH TO HAVE AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP NEXT YEAR?

Christmas and New Year are almost here. If you have been trying for the last several months to meet someone with whom to develop a relationship and haven’t succeeded, the chance that you will in the next few weeks is quite small.

This, however, shouldn’t disappoint you. Trying hard to meet someone and develop a relationship, so you won’t be without a partner during the holidays, might not be the right way. It might boomerang back at you, and you will find yourself – once again – with someone who isn’t right for you, or be abandoned right around the holidays.

THE GIFT OF SELF-AWARENESS

The best Christmas gift you can give to yourself is to embark on THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS. Telling yourself you want to find out, once and for all, what makes you fail in your relationships over and over again; understanding how come you’re still single, in spite of wishing so much to have a relationship.

WHY IS IT A GIFT?

Becoming Self-Aware doesn’t come in a wrapped package. No one can give it to you – except you.
You just need the motivation to decide that:

* The time has come to get to know and understand yourself better;

* It’s time to find out how you shoot yourself in the foot in relationships;

* You want to learn how to change.

As you embark on THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS you may find out:

* Which FEARS about relationships you might have, which have prevented you from establishing a serious relationship until now;

* Which NEEDS you have, which make you dependent on others and thus sabotage you as soon as you meet someone;

* Which EXPECTATIONS AND FANTASIES about partners and relationships you hold on to, which are unrealistic and harm your attempts at developing a healthy relationship;

* What BELIEF SYSTEM you hold on too, which influences your attitudes and thoughts about partners and relationships and thus harm them;

* OTHER ELEMENTS IN YOUR LIFE you are not aware of, which harm your attempts at establishing a serious relationship.

Embarking on THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS is a precious gift you can give to yourself, which will enable you to:

* Find out things about yourself you haven’t known before;
* Become empowered to change;
* Become ripe to meet someone with whom to develop a satisfying and intimate relationship.

HOW CAN YOU EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY TO SELF-AWARENESS?

The way to embark on The Journey to Self-Awareness is by:

* Reading books on the subject;

* Attending self-awareness workshops;

* Talking openly and honestly with close friends about yourself, your fears and needs, expectations and fantasies;

* Observing yourself and asking yourself questions you haven’t before;

* Giving yourself honest answers you have never dared before.

As you embark on The Journey to Self-Awareness before Christmas and New Year, you can take advantage of the holidays’ season as a productive time for you to learn as much about yourself as possible, knowing that even though you don’t have a partner now, you’re taking the necessary steps to have one next year.
