I know this is supposed to be a tantalizing page, with tips, tricks and such, but I would not be doing myself or any of us justice by only highlighting the positives, so it’s time for some real talk… it’s all fun and games and then reality hits, right?!?
Happy HUMP DAY!!!
Welcome and a friendly HELLO to all of our newbies!!! I am thrilled to see so many new people added to the group and even some ladies I don’t know personally… worldwide domination, here I come… let’s keep this group growing!!!
With it being prime time in the resolution season, this seems fitting on multiple levels. My husband has been totally on board with the HO 30 Challenge and while it might seem like “what partner wouldn’t”, he’s not the typical type that needs action on the regular, but thrives for quality time and attention. While this week was probably our highest high since being married (6 years), it was met with a bit of difficulty.
When discussing this HO 30 Challenge with almost anyone who wants to listen to me and receiving incredible feedback about it, I won’t lie, I got hyped up about it. I talk with my husband regularly about my vision and discussing various ideas around it and what this blog could become. Apparently, it got to the point where he grew concerned that my excitement of the potential of where this could lead, in his eyes, appeared to overshadow US… you’ll see the numbers above, there was not a lack of us connecting in any fashion…
While I may not totally understand where he was coming from as I involved him in every aspect along the way, I could not dispute his experience. I felt dismissed due to his lack of interest in supporting the vision I have for us turning this into something grand and he assumed I pulled away with my focus and attention elsewhere. Mind you, we do have a shared career goal together and this will be a part of it, this is simply a different avenue to achieve it, which we both know and understand now. I hear too often how relationships seem to unravel over time and I think a part of that is not sharing in one another’s goals and vision… it may start out small, for example; wanting to lead a healthier lifestyle and want your partner to join you, time goes by and you want to have a more active life, while your mate is content with lounging around when there is downtime… or it could be more education and career driven, or even the desire to travel more, etc. Resentment can build and distance can grow. Your mate should be your greatest supporter and it’s not about them making you a better person, but providing you the support and space for you to evolve into your best self… like the saying goes, nothing looks better on a person than confidence and a life fulfilled!!!
It is important to be able to share your dreams with your partner, whether they include them being a part of it or not… allowing there to be space and opportunity to support one another and while also creating something for you both to share in, it is so crucial to having a long lasting success.
Take a chance and daydream with each other and work towards creating a goal for both of you. Who knows what you might discover on how your priorities align, how you can better support each other’s dreams and what you have the potential to achieve together. It is all about communicating and creating life long plans together, year after year.
This week: Find your connection, because sharing means caring!!! 💋
