Whether you’re just dating or you’ve been married for 30 years, this applies to you:
When a man is not physically with you
When he’s travelling
When he’s at work
When he’s out with his friends
When he’s in the other room watching sports…
watch the voice and the impulses that want you to do something to get his attention. (I had many of these voices and acted out of impulse in the past, so I can totally relate)
“When was the last time he sent a text?
Why isn’t he calling me on his breaks?
If I was more important to him, he would show me that he’s thinking about me…
I prioritize him over my friends, and he doesn’t. I must love him more than he loves me…”
And then you look at your phone…
You check when he was last online on Whats App
You send him that text: are you ok?
You get angrier, more anxious, more triggered
There he is, innocently paying attention to what is in front of him (being present), and assuming you are too,
And here you are, energetically leaning forward, making up stories about how he feels about you, and based on those stories feeling worse and worse.
And it’s safe to say, when you DO hear from him, you either let him have it, or you are completely shut down!
Am I right or am I right?
My love, this is your invitation to stop.
Stop thinking about him, focusing on what he does or doesn’t, and stop telling yourself stories that make you feel absolutely miserable.
When he’s not with you:
1. Catch yourself when you start thinking about him.
2. Take 3 deep, embodied breaths and as you do that, visualize him in a thought bubble that starts to float away with each breath.
3. Take another 3 full breathes and visualize you are inhaling your attention back to you and back to your body.
4. Lastly declare to yourself that you’re going to be present with you, with what you’re doing, who you’re with, and that you are going to take ownership of your joy.
