Why The New Year Won’t Change A Thing In Your Relationship And What Will
If 2021 were a guy in the bedroom, there’d be a lot of performance anxiety.
His partner might say, “You better deliver ‘cause 2020’s been a shit show.”
The pressure’s on for 2021 to deliver.
Are you hoping for anything different in 2021 in your relationship? If so, what?
“I just want some space!” many men are saying. After being cooped up with their partner throughout much of 2020, that’s reasonable.
2020 was a huge stress on relationships. What you’d call a “make or break” year, with divorces significantly on the rise this past year.
Yet, if you want more than just space, it’s a fantasy to think the clock turning midnight will transform your relationship.
John DeMartini, human behavior specialist, has said, “The difference between fantasy and reality is hard work.”
What kind of skin are you willing to put in the game for your relationship in 2021?
Think about it for a moment.
Resolutions and aspirations are great and all. But they’re empty without hard work.
Relationship as hard work?
Thanks, but I’ll pass, most guys would say. Relationship should be fun and easy.
Well, that’s a fantasy. The reality is that with some hard work up front, you’re way more on track to get the fun and easy part.
Truthfully, the hard work is often not that hard. What’s hard is dealing with the one big word that’s in the way of working on your relationship at all.
Yep, the F word. Not the one you’re thinking. This F word is fear.
What fears are holding you back from making 2021 a game-changing year for your relationship?
Maybe it’s fear of rejection, ridicule, rupture. Or fear of aggression or conflict.
Whatever it is, the real work is to get past your fears. SWAP them. That’s right, SWAP your fears for what you really want.
S for shadow. W for withhold. A for action. And P for prize.
This simple process I lead men through goes straight to the heart of what extinguishes most new year’s resolutions. And that’s the R word. Resistance.
I know. A lot of words. A lot of acronyms.
And yet, what’s your resistance to taking charge of your relationship this year?
SWAP out resistance and make 2021 more than just an empty promise. I’ll show you how in the short video below.
Here’s to 2021 being a kick-ass year for your relationship instead of an empty resolution.
