5 Things to Consider Before Reconnecting with an Ex

If you are the one who seems to always be the one complaining and negative about your single situation, you must take a new look at yourself in order to heal this pattern of behavior so that you can stop pushing potential partners away. Your deep mind (subconscious) is doing this to protect you from future hurt but is also preventing you from attracting true, lasting love. You are stuck in neutral.

When you interact with people, notice how kind you are to them. You can’t only be on your best behavior when you are on a date; you have to be in the practice of kindness and compassion in your everyday life. Those simple interactions with every person you meet from the grocery store clerk, the fellow commuter on the road or anyone who provides you a service shows so much about you and reinforces the pattern.

A good example of this is by witnessing how people interact with me and my company. I see all the emails that come through my website. Even though I cannot possibly answer them all personally, I notice everything. I am human and, yes, I do make technical mistakes once in a while and so does my small team. I can tell by the tone of the emails which person is going to have success in love and the person that is going to have a difficult time by how they treat me and my staff.

For the most part, people are very kind and appreciative from the start. They know my intentions are good and that I am always doing my best. I feel so happy for them knowing that their attitude is in the right place and they will be one of the successful ones and probably my next testimonial. They are coming from love and that is what they will get back every time.

The most popular relationship article I’ve ever written detailed the different seasons a couple goes through in marriage. In the article, The 7 Rings of Marriage, I related each season to a different ring of marriage. After looking at my marriage and all we’d gone through — good and bad, I realized each season was common in many relationships. And the results confirmed this.

I think one reason it’s been so impactful is because people could find their relationship within at least one of the rings, and most had gone through a few rings already. There was comfort in knowing this was normal and others go through this. There’s also an added comfort seeing what is to come when you stay the course.
