APPRECIATION IS A DAILY PRACTICE

March 2, 2010

LISTEN BELOW TO AN IMAGO APPRECIATION DIALOGUE ABOUT PLAYING IN THE SNOW WITH AMY AND MICHAEL SHERMAN OF COURAGEOUS LOVING

Why is APPRECIATION like martial arts for relationships?

Several months ago, I was lucky enough to hear Marianne Williamson speak.  She’s incredibly captivating, and her biography is as dramatic as her radiant presence.  When talking about how much of a mess she was, she wailed, “What is my problem?!? Why can’t I remember that as long as I pray and meditate I’m okay, and when I don’t I’m not okay!“  It all comes back to daily practice…

Tonight was a big night for me.  I just returned from aikido class – something I haven’t done on a regular basis in nearly 10 years.  After a slam on the mat and a twist up my wrist, it all came back to me — and I wondered: What the hell have I been doing all this time? Like Marianne Williamson, as long as I train, I’m okay.  When I don’t, I’m not okay.

In my relationship with Amy, it goes like this: As long as we do Imago Dialogue, we’re okay.  When we don’t, we’re not okayDAILY PRACTICE. And the thing about the Imago Appreciation Dialogue is that it allows you to give and receive uplifting positivity as a habit, as a gift that you deserve.  But with Dialogue, this gift is less like a once-a-year Christmas toy wrapped in paper, and more like a glass of water, whose cool reliability awakens your energy and stretches your senses.

TRY THIS:

Today, focus on appreciating 3 people.  Keep track.  Get it over with.  1) There’s the girl who gets me coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts:  “Nice Earrings.” 2) There’s your boss who is working extra hard lately:  “I really appreciate how much effort you put into your work.  It makes it easier for me to do my job.”  3) There’s your spouse who had a hard day:  “Did you know that you are a really terrific (fill in the blank), and whenever you (fill in the blank), I feel peaceful.

Try it. Write me and let me know how it goes.

Warmly, Michael
