Self Help: Intimate Relationships – Family, Friends and Co-Workers

Intimate Relationships – Family, Friends and Co-Workers

Your avoidance of an intimate relationship is influenced by the Ego. The Ego can make you avoid all attempts to be loved by others. You will find yourself refusing to allow the possibility of an intimate relationship or the development of an intimate encounter. Living from your Higher Self will not allow your Ego to control you in your relationships.
When ever possible, take the risk of intimacy. Tell someone how you feel. Even tell them that you love how you feel. You feeling love inside you is ok. You may feel the fear also inside you at this time, but take the chance, tell someone how you truly feel. Just do it! Acting through your fear of intimacy, you invite your Higher Self to replace Ego’s non-loving fear tactics. Invite “your” loving presence to your life. Start loving to live and living to love.
Take the chance of saying how much you love someone. Tell this person how much you value them. Be vulnerable in order to get to get acquainted with him or her better. Opening your heart to others is the way of expressing yourself and you can defeat fear of intimacy. Find an excuse to show your love. Express yourself to him or her as often as possible. It is the essence “of you” that counts. The more you do this the more the fear goes away and soon there will be no fear. For you will not be living from your Ego.
