Some uplifting and hope-inspiring news about relationships:

Almost every relationship holds the potential to deepen and grow into a more thriving and fulfilling partnership!

To create that, intention, awareness, attention, and consistent effort are needed (also, see our last three posts, part 1-3).

More great news ~ there are things we can do to lighten and improve the mood and ambience, and infuse our days with more love, hope and harmony.
Here are 10 everyday relationship-enhancing ideas:

1. Be intentional about greeting your partner when they come home and giving them a hug/kiss as you wish them a good day when they leave to go to work or anywhere

2. Send a text or write a love note and place it where your partner will find it ~ it’s a quick way to brighten their day and remind them how much they mean to you!

3. A fun and loving little thing to do (not just once a day, but throughout the day): a 20 second love-boosting hug! Hug for at least 20 seconds to release oxytocin, the bonding chemical, and you’ll feel more connected, grounded, and uplifted. Also, hold each other a lot and often, and hold hands!

4. In the morning, set the tone for the day with some sweet, gentle, kind words and gestures. Also, before sleep; try not to go to bed with argumentative words and behavior (at minimum, commit to having a conversation the next day; you don’t have to resolve everything before bed, but you also don’t have to fight as you get ready for rest and relaxation)

5. Take a moment to truly express your appreciation, by acknowledging your partner for something they’ve done, or who they were being that you really appreciate

6. Ask your partner with a genuine interest if you can do anything for them, like help them with something they would normally do on their own

7. Light candles; buy each other flowers; wear that outfit your partner loves on you ~ every day can be a special occasion if you set your intention and make it happen

8. Do something together for the pure purpose of fun (put to-do list and logistics aside for even 15 min), try a new hobby, learn something new, explore nature (bonus tip: stargazing is very romantic) ~ do things daily that will ensure you are continually growing together, not apart

9. Reflect on your day during dinner or before bedtime, and share your "high" and your "low." If there’s something to explore deeper, acknowledge it and park it for the next day, etc.

10. Take a few moments to dream and envision what you want to experience together in the future. Get excited and motivated together

The beautiful thing is, there are hundreds of small actions you could take every day ~ and that, when done consistently, can make a huge difference in the nurturing of your relationships (and not just romantic, but relationships of all kind).

Our hope is that you take some, even one, inspired action today 🤗

Part 3

Third ingredient for a thriving, harmonious, loving partnership:

3. Joint Relationship Growth
🌱
A collaborative effort that can lead to deeper intimacy, stronger resilience, shared sense of purpose, and sustained attraction.

Working towards shared vision intentionally, both individually and as a couple (often with professional support), prevents partners from drifting apart and cultivates a thriving, meaningful connection.

🌹 Together, get curious about:

“What could we do differently in our daily interactions to have less friction, feel more love, and be more connected?”

“What practices, tools, experiences might support our relationship growth?”

Then ~ commit to it. Explore what’s possible. Seek the support you need. Do it as a team.

What happens when both partners commit to and learn and practice the time-proven relationship tools?

Their love blossoms in ever-lasting, magnificent ways.
🌱

The most powerful and meaningful changes in your relationship happen when you cultivate all three ingredients (see previous posts for ingredients 1 & 2).

Which of these areas in your partnership need some attention and nurturing?

The more you invest in growing - as individuals and as a couple - the more your relationship will thrive (and heal what needs healing).

This practice, this growth is what we are so passionate about and committed to ~ both in our own loving partnership and in our work with other couples!

If you’re ready to create a more harmonious and thriving relationship ~ it would be our pleasure and honor to be of support.

Part 2

Second ingredient for a thriving, harmonious, loving partnership:

2. Your Partner’s Personal Growth –

As vital it is for you to take on your personal growth ~ it is as vital for your beloved to do the same; on their own terms, at their own pace.

Your partner can be asking themselves the same reflective questions you are, such as:

“What part am I playing in this repetitive argument?”
“How do I contribute to our relationship growth? To our disconnect?”

Any change, no matter how seemingly small, towards better communication, more patience or appreciation, and self-regulating – can lead to a positive shift and have a significant impact on your relationship.

Stay tuned for Ingredient no.3.

🌳

If you’re ready to release the old habits and belief systems that keep you stuck or depleted, and desire to repattern and create a more harmonious relationship ~ it would be our pleasure and honor to be of support.

Part 1

Have you ever felt like:

~ You and your partner keep having the same arguments?

~ Your partner doesn’t hear you?

~ You are disconnected?

~ You are left craving more closeness?

If yes ~ you’re not alone.

And, it sooner or later, sometimes or often, happens to pretty much every couple.

That’s the “bad” news.

The good news? There’s a secret sauce you can surely learn, or remember, to concoct.

The ingredients? Three vital and essential things:

1. Personal Growth

Focus on your own personal growth, in all ways. Invite yourself to ponder questions like:

“What aspect of myself is asking to evolve through this experience?”

It might be to shift your perspective. Soften. Heal past wounds. Expand self-awareness. Learn better communication (and listening) skills. Understand deeper. Have more compassion (for others, and self).

Through openness, curiosity, patience, and seeking support as needed, you can lay the foundation for positive and lasting change. 🌹

It is such a beautiful thing to experience the most incredible changes when you commit to creating the secret sauce with all three ingredients. This was Ingredient 1, where it all starts.

Stay tuned for Ingredients 2 & 3.

If you’re ready to release the old habits and belief systems that keep you stuck or depleted, and desire to repattern and create a more harmonious relationship ~ it would be our pleasure and honor to be of support in any way.

On attachment ~ to a thought, desire, or things that we don’t like

The things we long for and the things we dislike or hate are both forms of attachment.

Anything that we’re grasping with tension and intensity stands in the way of our peace.

What can you intentionally let go of that weighs your mind down?

Ask yourself: does it really need to be taking so much space in my mind? Permit yourself to unfold from the attachment and allow the tension around it to ease.

Instead of staying attached, can you hold your thoughts and desires very lightly, and stay open to what is actually happening?

This practice can help us tremendously with not just our romantic partners, but also in any type of relationship.

Our next HEARTS ALIGNED couples retreat will be happening in October in Tucson ~ stay tuned 🥰!

An unfolding through practice in trust, listening in, and being one team.

A journey that took us from “going to travel in our RV while our house gets built in Sedona”, to...

Road trips; first Mexico, then Tucson, AZ.

And after three weeks of exploring the first two of many scheduled destinations, as we wait to build, to (and here’s the nugget) ....

Both of us listening to that inner voice, initially only a whisper, a nudge, that expanded into a clear and non-ignorable: time to experience richness of life, elsewhere.

That elsewhere, quickly, surprisingly, for both of us simultaneously, became ~ Tucson 🌵

We kept listening in, and checking with each other. It kept being a full-body YES, for us both.

So much more content is needed here to bring you into our inner and outer new landscape; the quiet and then loud excitement; the why’s and how’s; the deep knowing that this is what we want to create for us next ~ and yet what comes to surface is that things aligned for us to make this our new home, because we kept being aligned; and, for many reasons (most of which are out of our control) to not be even close to building our Sedona home.

So, Tucson ~ thank you for embracing us in this new, sudden, yet sweetly rooted life exploration 💜

What does this mean for our HEARTS ALIGNED couples retreats?

We will continue to hold our one-of-a-kind couples retreats, now offering them in our sweet Tucson location. And we will continue to offer Exclusive Couples Weekend Retreats in Sedona ~ so contact us to learn more ✨

Today, we celebrate all mothers, and all women with motherly roles and nurturing energies 💜

Being a mother is also about raising our own self. Learning to mother ourselves, to hold and cradle ourselves, too.

Today, we celebrate the mothers among us and the mothers within us.

And we honor all women who never could experience being a biological mother.

Our hope is that everyone gets to feel motherly love, whether it comes from their own mothers, or other women figures in their lives. And, that we all get to hold the little one within us with tender yet strong love and compassion.

From our hearts to yours,

Lidija & Ken

I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within ~ Lillian Smith

As we explored and enjoyed Mexico, curious and excited about the culture, tradition, colors, scents, sounds and flavors ~ the true exploration has also been happening within us.
Learning who we are on the road, in the newness of things, in tight motorhome quarters, out in the unfamiliar and figuring out how to not just navigate RV life ~ but to thrive in it (okay, not so easy always, but, for instance, our tiny bedroom has been reminding us of how cozy and intimate spaces really are so delicious!)
And, when the sun sets, what a magical time to hold hands and be in awe of nature and the mystery of life!

How do you swim in the unfamiliar waters, together and as individuals? Where can you soften, let go, adapt, see the gifts in unlikely places?
Sending you all so much love, from our hearts to yours 💜

Where have we been?

Last two months have been a whirlwind of activities - packing, organizing, holding our last couple's retreat in our retreat space. And a whirlwind of emotions. (A blog post about it coming next week!)

A week ago, we moved out of our Sedona home. House sold, storage packed, our motor home readily embracing us for this new chapter.

Where are we now? ☺️

Journeying for a while. Open roads that will lead us to different sceneries, flavors and experiences. Learning about geography, as well as human psychology, mostly about ourselves. Stretching our comfort zones and adding a zest for exploration.
Layering travel with coming back to Sedona.

This, while we manifest and create our new home in Sedona 💜.

And, continuing to facilitate and host HEARTS ALIGNED couples retreats ~ our passion for this work only grows!

Curious about how this new chapter unfolds? Stay tuned, posts and blogs will be coming! 🌱

Curious about our weekend and mini retreats? Let's connect 🥰!

📸 Our starting point was Puerto Peňasco, Sonora MX 🌞

Our word(s) for the trip, so far, as a couple: adjusting to this space and being together in such tight quarters 🙃

Compassionate, kind.
Deep-diving, and light- and joy-gravitating.

Passionate, and loving.
And so much more ~ that I admire and deeply love ✨

All this, and whatever else excites your heart, my lovey, I wish for your new journey around the sun 🥰💜
