when the law of attraction i doesnt work- text received via e mail
Gerardo Flores here and I wanted to shoot out a quick email just to say hello.
I hope you have been enjoying the free lessons on The Science of Getting Rich.
Another reason I wanted to email you today is because I wanted to share a quick
thought with you.
One of the things that I hear many people ask is, 'Why doesn't the law of attraction
work every time?'
And that is a great question! Many people are having a difficult time with making
the law of attraction work for them. There are, in my opinion, 2 main reasons why
this happens.
1. People have 'core limiting beliefs' that keep them from getting what they want.
2. They are not in the right vibrational frequencies to make the law of attraction
really work.
We all have a critical factor. It is the part of the brain which holds all of our beliefs
about money, relationships, God and how the world works. Many times when we
try to manifest abundance, we don't get it simply because we have limiting beliefs
about money. They can range from anything like, 'We have to work hard for money'
or 'My parents told me rich people were greedy' or 'Becoming rich would mean more
problems' and so on.
What we have to do is either by-pass the critical factor to make sure our subconscious
mind receives the message of abundance and manifest it, or we have to completely install
new beliefs, or both!
Many people are also in the wrong vibrational frequencies. What most people who study
the law of attraction don't know is that the law of vibration IS the basis of the law of
attraction. Every thought we hold in our mind, creates a vibrational frequency. This vibration
goes out in to the Universe and brings back into your life all those things, whether they
are people, situations, or places that match that vibrational frequency.
This is why we must get into the feeling of having that thing we want. When we get into
the feeling of already having what we want, we send out those vibrational frequencies
that bring us those things that match our vibrations.
I hope you find this as intriguing as much as I do. Have a great weekend julie!
Love.

Day Four: How Your Wealth is a Function of LOVE
Bonus Lesson & Action Steps
By: Jaime Mintun &
Have you ever noticed that a person’s dog tends to resemble its owner? Or how two people dating will tend to look and act more similar to each other over time?
This is because of resonance.
All life seeks harmony. We desire resonance. It’s a basic law of matter and this is why all of our energy expressions (our actions, thoughts, beliefs and emotions) will attract their likeness. They all have a rate of vibration and everything that comes into contact with them will tend toward their vibration (when they are the constant).
This happens with people. It happens with our pets. And yes, it happens with our money.
So when you find yourself with an empty wallet, a draining bank account, more going out than you
A Quick Note From Jaime…
Today I simply want to say thanks, and share my gratitude.
I’ve been on this journey a long time. Yet when I distill what I’ve learned into tiny lessons like these, it hones a new level of ‘oooh! I get this!’ and I see how the teacher always becomes the student.
With each of these, I am making so many juicy and awe inspiring connections… having numerous ideas and epiphanies that I never got the first time around!
And I wouldn’t have been led to do any of it if you weren’t there to receive it.
So thanks. I’m glad you’re here.

have coming in… what you are seeing is an outward representation of your own tune – your own vibration.
“What’s All This Have to Do With Love?”
Love is the highest vibration there is. Literally. Love for our human tribe has been shown to heal everything from water to wars to illness. The only thing higher is prayer: universal and unconditional love beyond the Self.
So your shortest distance between where you are now and the wealth of abundance you seek is to simply tune yourself to the highest vibration possible.
Then over time your outward reality will come to resemble your full and overflowing experience of love. Because right now your current reality may be resembling the ways you feel empty, or overwhelmed by giving out more than you’re bringing in.
I know this might not be a new idea for you. Or it may seem completely bonkers.
However this lesson forgoes a deep explanation of the science of energy. I’d rather just give you three easy actions you can take consistently to dramatically transform your wealth, and a as a bonus, your experience of love as well!
●●●
The ways you may have tried to create wealth from the inside out were not wrong. They might have just been incomplete. The missing piece is to act from ideas inspired by a higher vibration of Love.
●●●
Love is the highest vibration there is. Express love through giving and gratitude and you will receive inspiration and ideas that create wealth.
DAY FOUR: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 3
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
How to Create Wealth as a Function of Love in Three Easy Steps:
These three action steps are so easy you may think they’re too easy and won’t work. Try them out for 60 days and you’ll see for yourself: they work swimmingly!
1. Give to yourself one small thing every other day. It could be a compliment, flowers, a single unhurried hour for a bath or book. It could be a present or a kind word or an indulgence in a hobby or passion. However small or big, give yourself something at least once every other day.
2. Give to someone else one small thing on the other days. The day after you give something to yourself, give something to someone else. It could be a hug, a kind word or compliment, a phone call, or a gift. Pray for someone or share your gratitude for them. Give to the people you love, the people you know. Then give to people who kind of annoy you or to complete strangers! However small or big, give something to someone else at least once on the other days.
3. Practice awareness and follow your gut. What is happening as you begin giving to yourself and to others is that you’re filling up with love. You’re filling your own ‘emotional bank account’ so that even when you give to others in Step 2, it’s still filling you up. So now, what you want to do is pay attention to random thoughts, new ideas, crazy cravings and other subtle messages. They’re telling you what to do next – and they lead to the money honey!
DAY FOUR: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 4
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
That third step is where Law of Attraction and other wonderful teachings fall short. It’s where the magic happens!
The ways you fill up in the first two steps will trigger new expressions and inspirations. You’ll be drawn to random activities or ideas. You’ll discover a new passion or suddenly have a craving for something random or some long lost passion: like travel, creativity, a certain book you bought but never read, banana splits at 4am, that yoga class you always swore off… it could be anything!
These are the subtle whispers you want to pay particular attention to because they’re pointing you to your next step. That sudden craving for chips and hummus at 2am may land you in the grocery line with your next husband or an important colleague.
Most people misunderstand intuition because they think it’s something big and bold and screaming in your face. But it’s not. It’s the tiny whisperings… the subtle desires or thoughts that come out of nowhere and will leave just as fast.
Always pay attention and take action on the silly stuff! Because those crazy ideas and inspirations are what lead you to your wealth! They were inspired by your higher vibration – they were inspired by love.
So giddyup cupcake! Give it a go and see what happens. You’ll discover so many more gifts than just money.

Day Three: Your Body is a STORY; Learn Its Language
Bonus Lesson & Action Steps
By: Jaime Mintun &
This past January, I received an email from an Indian woman in South Africa.
She confided a dark secret she’d never told anyone else before: that her entire lower body, from her waist to her thighs, is permanently scarred due to mistreatment and illness as a child growing up in orphanages.
She told me she was so ashamed of these scars… of her body… that she’s never shown her body to another person. She declines any social get togethers that involve bathing suits, shorts, or costumes. She has stayed away from any intimate relationships and now, at the age of 46, she knows that she has prevented herself from living life – all because of this one thing that should seem so small, and yet it’s larger than life.
I tell you this deeply personal story because it bears testimony to the many ways our body shames us.
A Quick Note From Jaime…
Today’s lesson reveals the power of story to determine the health, weight and aging of our body.
Therefore, this lesson shares a few stories.
A little less ‘step by step,’ it’s designed to embed into your subconscious because we cannot tackle our body directly.
It’s all about opening up to our unconscious emotions and material so we can release them – and tell a new story for our body.
So don’t worry if this lesson feels less concrete. The part of you that needs to take action on it will already be doing its job as you read this.

It also demonstrates how our body tells the story of our past – the wounds of mistreatment, the markings of illness, the weight of depression or emotional baggage. It speaks loudly of the way we eat, the way we care for ourselves, and it can even tell our secrets.
This is our body’s gift – yet we often see it as a curse.
And we are often most aware of this curse when we realize we’ve aged.
Aging is a woman’s #1 fear, so much so that girls in their 20s and late teens are getting botox and stressing about wrinkles.
The challenge for today’s woman is more than how to battle fat, wrinkles, scars or illness. It’s how to battle all the ways we’ve learned to not love ourselves. It’s how to create more stories for feeling beautiful than we have for not feeling beautiful.
“How Can I Learn to Love My Body?”
When we ask this question, we’re asking how to stop warring with our body. We want to learn how to stop feeling betrayed by our body, or judged because of it.
What few people ever teach us is that a woman’s body is completely manipulated and transformed by her hormones. Disease, aging, weight… it’s all about hormones.
And hormones can be largely affected by our emotions.
You must create more stories for feeling beautiful than you have for not feeling beautiful.

DAY THREE: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 3

This is your body’s secret language. And I’m going to show you an easy way you can begin engaging that secret language so that you can create a new story, and hence a new body that will reflect and tell that story.
Here’s how…
First, Learn Your Body’s Language
Most of us try to leap from some level of disgust, denial or hatred of our body (or a part of it)… to totally loving our body.
It just doesn’t happen that way. We can’t just snap our fingers.
Because when we are upset or ashamed about our body, this doesn’t just mean that our body is fat, or has scars, or is ill.
That may be a fact, yes, however there are plenty of people who are absolutely in love with their big, luscious body… or who have entirely accepted their scars or illness.
When we feel disgust toward our body, what we are feeling is a
disconnect between our model (belief) for what our body should be, should look like, or should do – and the reality our body gives us.
This is why an overweight woman who hates herself can lose all the weight and become a skinny woman who hates herself.
We will often subconsciously regain the weight to justify the hatred – because we never healed what caused the weight in the first place (the holding of emotion that has gotten stuck – such as hatred, shame or self-disgust).
This is why plastic surgery has not been a quick fix for feeling beautiful.
We’ve gone and changed our body, but we never honored what it was telling us in the first place, and so we never got to change the story that created our emotional feeling about our body.
So the first step in healing and loving your body (and yes, to also release weight or reverse age) is to tell yourself the truth – to accept what your body is telling you.
DAY THREE: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 4
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
Telling yourself the truth simply means being honest about what you think and feel about yourself.
I know this can be a dark and dismal place to go, however we can’t release the way we feel until we connect with the emotion, accept it, and really feel it.
Once we’ve done that, we can move to the second step:
Second, Create a New Story… That Leads to a New Truth
I know, the last step really sucked. It’s never fun to face the ugliness we perceive inside of us.
The good news is this second step gets you out of that abyss fast – and for good.
You can’t dig up a rotten plant without getting into the muck and pulling out the roots… and thankfully once that dirty job is finished, getting dirty will have paid off!
Because now you can plant a new seed… the seed of your choice
instead of a seed randomly planted by other people’s judgments or actions.
And as that seed takes root, you’ll watch an entirely new and stunning flower bloom. Your body will transform.
How to Create Your New Story:
Creating a new story means experimenting and playing with your body. You’ll learn to notice feedback rather than judge it.
For example, what is the new truth you want to create?
Let’s say it’s, “I am delightfully beautiful to myself.”
Now think of yourself as a character in a novel. You learned what your starting point looked like in the previous step.
Now you’re going to write the story that can get someone from that starting point to this new truth.
So when I did this exercise, I looked at what beautiful meant to me and how I’d know I felt it.
DAY THREE: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 5
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
Beautiful for me meant I was fit and taking action on my desires – because when my daily actions were not aligned with my desires, I knew some unconscious culprit must be at work.
I learned to see my excess weight as feedback to let me know there was more digging and emotional work to be done.
I learned to approach exercise and eating healthy as ways to stay aligned, rather than ways to punish myself because I wasn’t skinny enough.
As you can see, I didn’t leap to loving myself as I was, or accepting my excess weight. That was too much for me at that moment.
So instead I learned to remove the emotional judgment that ‘my weight makes me ugly.’ Instead I focused on what it said about my unconscious state –the weight of my emotional baggage.
What I learned was that I felt beautiful when I knew I was making progress.
This was valuable to me, because now I had a tool to work with: if I could create multiple ways to see progress, I could create multiple ways to feel beautiful!
And so progress became more than a number on a scale.
It became an increase in strength while weight training… it became how long I could run or do cardio before I got tired… it became how creative I could get with different
ACTION STEPS
Get a piece of paper or digital recorder.
Ask yourself: “What is the truth my body is telling me?”
Don’t over-think this, just write or say whatever comes to you, even if it doesn’t make sense.
This gets us out of our judgment and story so that we can learn what we truly feel and dig up our subconscious beliefs that our body may be reflecting.
Next, ask yourself: “What do I want to tell my body?”
This opens up a dialogue between you and your body and allow you the freedom to speak the truth about how you feel, how you want to feel… what you believe about your body and what you want your body to be.
Again, this may dig up some painful or uncomfortable stuff. That’s okay. It’s okay to be in the mess… let whatever rises to the surface just be – it’s not wrong or right.

forms of exercise that felt adventurous, or different types of healthy food I could experiment with, and find delicious!
Suddenly I’d pieced together a new story for feeling beautiful. I cultivated a new truth and at the same time activated an inward journey that is still healing deep emotional wounds and helping me forgive and release the past.
And yes, the weight fell away.
Exercise and diet were there too… but because I desired them for their own benefit, not because I was forced toward them so I could lose weight. That key difference switched it all up for me!
So now imagine what exciting, juicy, delightful new story you can create… for all the ways you will feel beautiful and love your body!

The challenge for today’s woman is more than how to battle fat, wrinkles, scars or illness. It’s how to battle all the ways we’ve learned to not love ourselves. It’s how to create more stories for feeling beautiful than we have for not feeling beautiful.
“How Can I Learn to Love My Body?”
When we ask this question, we’re asking how to stop warring with our body. We want to learn how to stop feeling betrayed by our body, or judged because of it.
What few people ever teach us is that a woman’s body is completely manipulated and transformed by her hormones. Disease, aging, weight… it’s all about hormones.
And hormones can be largely affected by our emotions.
You must create more stories for feeling beautiful than you have for not feeling beautiful.

This is your body’s secret language. And I’m going to show you an easy way you can begin engaging that secret language so that you can create a new story, and hence a new body that will reflect and tell that story.
Here’s how…
First, Learn Your Body’s Language
Most of us try to leap from some level of disgust, denial or hatred of our body (or a part of it)… to totally loving our body.
It just doesn’t happen that way. We can’t just snap our fingers.
Because when we are upset or ashamed about our body, this doesn’t just mean that our body is fat, or has scars, or is ill.
That may be a fact, yes, however there are plenty of people who are absolutely in love with their big, luscious body… or who have entirely accepted their scars or illness.
When we feel disgust toward our body, what we are feeling is a
disconnect between our model (belief) for what our body should be, should look like, or should do – and the reality our body gives us.
This is why an overweight woman who hates herself can lose all the weight and become a skinny woman who hates herself.
We will often subconsciously regain the weight to justify the hatred – because we never healed what caused the weight in the first place (the holding of emotion that has gotten stuck – such as hatred, shame or self-disgust).
This is why plastic surgery has not been a quick fix for feeling beautiful.
We’ve gone and changed our body, but we never honored what it was telling us in the first place, and so we never got to change the story that created our emotional feeling about our body.
So the first step in healing and loving your body (and yes, to also release weight or reverse age) is to tell yourself the truth – to accept what your body is telling you.
DAY THREE: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 4
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
Telling yourself the truth simply means being honest about what you think and feel about yourself.
I know this can be a dark and dismal place to go, however we can’t release the way we feel until we connect with the emotion, accept it, and really feel it.
Once we’ve done that, we can move to the second step:
Second, Create a New Story… That Leads to a New Truth
I know, the last step really sucked. It’s never fun to face the ugliness we perceive inside of us.
The good news is this second step gets you out of that abyss fast – and for good.
You can’t dig up a rotten plant without getting into the muck and pulling out the roots… and thankfully once that dirty job is finished, getting dirty will have paid off!
Because now you can plant a new seed… the seed of your choice
instead of a seed randomly planted by other people’s judgments or actions.
And as that seed takes root, you’ll watch an entirely new and stunning flower bloom. Your body will transform.
How to Create Your New Story:
Creating a new story means experimenting and playing with your body. You’ll learn to notice feedback rather than judge it.
For example, what is the new truth you want to create?
Let’s say it’s, “I am delightfully beautiful to myself.”
Now think of yourself as a character in a novel. You learned what your starting point looked like in the previous step.
Now you’re going to write the story that can get someone from that starting point to this new truth.
So when I did this exercise, I looked at what beautiful meant to me and how I’d know I felt it.
DAY THREE: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 5
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
Beautiful for me meant I was fit and taking action on my desires – because when my daily actions were not aligned with my desires, I knew some unconscious culprit must be at work.
I learned to see my excess weight as feedback to let me know there was more digging and emotional work to be done.
I learned to approach exercise and eating healthy as ways to stay aligned, rather than ways to punish myself because I wasn’t skinny enough.
As you can see, I didn’t leap to loving myself as I was, or accepting my excess weight. That was too much for me at that moment.
So instead I learned to remove the emotional judgment that ‘my weight makes me ugly.’ Instead I focused on what it said about my unconscious state –the weight of my emotional baggage.
What I learned was that I felt beautiful when I knew I was making progress.
This was valuable to me, because now I had a tool to work with: if I could create multiple ways to see progress, I could create multiple ways to feel beautiful!
And so progress became more than a number on a scale.
It became an increase in strength while weight training… it became how long I could run or do cardio before I got tired… it became how creative I could get with different
ACTION STEPS
Get a piece of paper or digital recorder.
Ask yourself: “What is the truth my body is telling me?”
Don’t over-think this, just write or say whatever comes to you, even if it doesn’t make sense.
This gets us out of our judgment and story so that we can learn what we truly feel and dig up our subconscious beliefs that our body may be reflecting.
Next, ask yourself: “What do I want to tell my body?”
This opens up a dialogue between you and your body and allow you the freedom to speak the truth about how you feel, how you want to feel… what you believe about your body and what you want your body to be.
Again, this may dig up some painful or uncomfortable stuff. That’s okay. It’s okay to be in the mess… let whatever rises to the surface just be – it’s not wrong or right.
DAY THREE: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 6

forms of exercise that felt adventurous, or different types of healthy food I could experiment with, and find delicious!
Suddenly I’d pieced together a new story for feeling beautiful. I cultivated a new truth and at the same time activated an inward journey that is still healing deep emotional wounds and helping me forgive and release the past.
And yes, the weight fell away.
Exercise and diet were there too… but because I desired them for their own benefit, not because I was forced toward them so I could lose weight. That key difference switched it all up for me!
So now imagine what exciting, juicy, delightful new story you can create… for all the ways you will feel beautiful and love your body!

Today’s Powerful Principle: VULNERABILITY
Vulnerability can be a nasty word. It can raise feelings of shame, fear, and disconnection. Not to mention we often stack emotions on top of vulnerability. It may feel like anger, betrayal, anxiety or judgment.
Yet in her groundbreaking research on authentic happiness, and how people come to feel worthy vs. unworthy, researcher Brené Brown, PhD. discovered something very confusing:
The only difference between people who felt worthy, and those who didn’t, was that those who felt worthy were able to be vulnerable.
They believed that what made them vulnerable also made them beautiful. They knew it was necessary and were willing to risk loving, being authentic, and giving of themselves… when there were no guarantees.
Why We Struggle with Vulnerability
When we suffer anything in life, it breaks us open. We feel vulnerable and in those moments, that vulnerability makes us feel ashamed, weak and not good enough.
And so we learn to fear vulnerability. Some of us have never experienced it by choice, and so we’ve

never known vulnerability without all the nasty stuff thrown in on top of it.
But here’s the rub:
The only way to stop feeling vulnerable is to numb it. There are two problems with this:
1. We live in a vulnerable world: we are the most in debt, obese, addicted and medicated mob of adults in recorded history.
2. We can’t selectively numb emotion. Do away with any of the nasties like shame or anger, and you have to chuck out the whole bunch.
So when we numb vulnerability, we deny the very nature of our world. When we numb vulnerability we also numb joy. We numb gratitude. We numb happiness and love.
This is why stepping into vulnerability is the great leap toward happiness.
When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we allow ourselves to be truly seen. Vulnerability also attracts others to us, not because we are weak, but because we are courageous enough to be our true selves.
Tip Toeing Toward the Great Leap…
You don’t have to rip your heart wide open and sing your greatest tragedies from the mountain tops, so don’t worry!
Stepping into vulnerability is an exercise in awareness and choice. Choose to feel, choose to come alive.
ACTION STEPS
1. Write down what vulnerability means to you right now. Complete the sentence: “Vulnerability is…”
Examples from Brené Brown include: not being able to control what happens to kids at school, being sick, putting my work/art out there.
2. Write down what vulnerability feels like. What other emotions come up for you?
Examples include: anger, anxiety, fear, freedom, acceptance, judgment
As you can see there is a dark side to what vulnerability is for us, and a light side. This exercise is simply about getting insight into what vulnerability is for you right now. There are no right or wrong answers and awareness is the first step toward new choices.

Day Two: Why Love is a VERB
Bonus Lesson & Action Steps
By: Jaime Mintun &
The hardest question we face in our relationships is “How to keep loving?”
Sometimes the sparks fade, or a numbness sets in. Maybe you start to fight too much or communication halts entirely.
Have you ever wondered whether there’s any love left between you and your partner? We’re just not in love anymore…
In his book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey describes a similar exchange with one of his clients. The man tells Covey that he cannot save his marriage. He’s tried everything yet there is no love left between him and his wife.
“Have you tried loving her?” Covey asks.
“I told you, there is no love anymore.”
“But have you tried loving her?” Covey repeats.
A Quick Note From Jaime…
Wooohooo! How was Day Two?
Today we dove right into relationships and the differences between men and women.
My biggest ‘aha’ moment during today’s sessions was the realization that I can only reduce stress when I am nourishing and pampering myself and I’m not in a hurry.
We women do way too much – we’re always in a hurry!
I am committing to put myself first just a little more often, and to give myself love so that I have more of it to give others.
What was your ‘aha’ moment?

DAY TWO: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 2
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
A potent secret to lasting love exists in Covey’s
simple question. The secret is to stop having
relationships and to start relating. Stay active in
your loving and focus more on how you can give
love to another.
Because love is a VERB. You have to do it.
Every day.
It is a commitment to love fully, and to give of that
love daily – regardless what we receive in return.
I know this isn’t easy. It raises every major fear we
have.
“What if I put myself out there and he just ignores
me? What if I’m nice to him and he still insults me?
Then I’m just letting him get away with it.”
These natural responses come from our fear that
we may no longer be worthy of our partner’s
returned love. We’re scared to act first, to put
ourselves out there and risk rejection or lack of
response.
But we can break that pattern of belief. Because
love is not transactional. We don’t give it just to get
something in return.
Love is something we feel and give no
matter what.
The Second Secret to
Lasting Love:
Give your partner the
freedom to love you in
his or her own way, and
maintain the freedom
to talk – about anything.

How We Accidentally Destroy Love…
If you ever feel love seeping out of your relationship, there may be very real problems that need to be dealt with – such as infidelity or anger or other forms of mistreatment.
However in most cases, the absence of love that you may feel (and even tangible issues like those mentioned above) is a result of a deceptively simple, yet very sinister and damaging thing:
You’ve stopped communicating.
The #1 thing that destroys a relationship is the assumption that because someone loves us, they must forever be and act a certain way.
We begin to expect and demand certain things from our partner, and they from us. We stop questioning and exploring how the other feels, what he or she believes, where he or she stands on certain topics.
This causes stagnation. It revokes freedom. It forgets the power of communication and expects both partners to stay the same, feel the same, and act the same – always – simply because at some point in the past, they both said, “I love you.”
And so the talking and exploring and relating stops. The people go on changing, growing, feeling different things on different days.
But the relationship stops allowing those changes to be voiced, talked about or explored.
In many relationships, specific topics become taboo, get taken off the table, or are forbidden. And when anything goes unspoken – or one or both of you feel you can’t say whatever you’re feeling or thinking… this creates walls where there should be doors.
You accidentally destroy the safe space in your relationship and force each other to go outside your relationship to feel safe, to openly communicate, and to feel accepted and listened to.
And trust me, I know how hard it is to say “anything goes” in conversation.
DAY TWO: BONUS LESSON & ACTION STEPS 4
Copyright © 2011, Jaime Mintun Provided for LoveYourLifeSummit.com
It means risking that we may hear our partner’s dissatisfaction, or how his or her needs aren’t being met.
It takes away our illusion of certainty in the relationship… to talk about the tough realities we’d rather ignore: like attraction to other people or lack of attraction within the relationship.
Yet when you talk to each other about all the tough stuff, you create a safe space where you are again on the same side of the table, and can solve your challenges together, as partners.
No relationship is perfect. No person is perfect. And we have to live in our relationship – communicate with each other – with this in mind.
I invite you to explore a new way of communicating with your partner, by doing three things:
1. Give yourself permission and freedom to tell your partner everything you feel, fear and need in your relationship. Don’t blame. Simply tell them what you’re experiencing and what you need.
2. Give your partner permission and freedom to tell you the same. It may hurt your feelings. But honor them and what they are feeling. Accept their feedback with love.
3. Commit to give love and kindness to your partner for one week, regardless of how they give love to you.
ACTION STEPS
The first time you talk about anything previously off the table for discussion, a lot of fear may come up for both of you.
Before you have your chat, I recommend you gain clarity on a few things for yourself first. Ask yourself:
• What are some things I want to talk to my partner about… but until now I felt that I couldn’t, or that they didn’t want to hear it?
• What are some things my partner has wanted to share with me that I’ve refused to discuss, or that make me uncomfortable?
Can you and your partner commit to share these in a safe space where you will not judge or blame each other?
If not, can you commit to at least talk about your fear around these topics, rather than the topics themselves? Say to each other, “I’m afraid to talk about ________ and _______ because I’m scared it will mean ___________.”

Yet when you talk to each other about all the tough stuff, you create a safe space where you are again on the same side of the table, and can solve your challenges together, as partners.
No relationship is perfect. No person is perfect. And we have to live in our relationship – communicate with each other – with this in mind.
I invite you to explore a new way of communicating with your partner, by doing three things:
1. Give yourself permission and freedom to tell your partner everything you feel, fear and need in your relationship. Don’t blame. Simply tell them what you’re experiencing and what you need.
2. Give your partner permission and freedom to tell you the same. It may hurt your feelings. But honor them and what they are feeling. Accept their feedback with love.
3. Commit to give love and kindness to your partner for one week, regardless of how they give love to you.
ACTION STEPS
The first time you talk about anything previously off the table for discussion, a lot of fear may come up for both of you.
Before you have your chat, I recommend you gain clarity on a few things for yourself first. Ask yourself:
• What are some things I want to talk to my partner about… but until now I felt that I couldn’t, or that they didn’t want to hear it?
• What are some things my partner has wanted to share with me that I’ve refused to discuss, or that make me uncomfortable?
Can you and your partner commit to share these in a safe space where you will not judge or blame each other?
If not, can you commit to at least talk about your fear around these topics, rather than the topics themselves? Say to each other, “I’m afraid to talk about ________ and _______ because I’m scared it will mean ___________.”

Day Two: Why Love is a VERB
Bonus Lesson & Action Steps
By: Jaime Mintun &
The hardest question we face in our relationships is “How to keep loving?”
Sometimes the sparks fade, or a numbness sets in. Maybe you start to fight too much or communication halts entirely.
Have you ever wondered whether there’s any love left between you and your partner? We’re just not in love anymore…
In his book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey describes a similar exchange with one of his clients. The man tells Covey that he cannot save his marriage. He’s tried everything yet there is no love left between him and his wife.
“Have you tried loving her?” Covey asks.
“I told you, there is no love anymore.”
“But have you tried loving her?” Covey repeats.
A Quick Note From Jaime…
Wooohooo! How was Day Two?
Today we dove right into relationships and the differences between men and women.
My biggest ‘aha’ moment during today’s sessions was the realization that I can only reduce stress when I am nourishing and pampering myself and I’m not in a hurry.
We women do way too much – we’re always in a hurry!
I am committing to put myself first just a little more often, and to give myself love so that I have more of it to give others.

A potent secret to lasting love exists in Covey’s
simple question. The secret is to stop having
relationships and to start relating. Stay active in
your loving and focus more on how you can give
love to another.
Because love is a VERB. You have to do it.
Every day.
It is a commitment to love fully, and to give of that
love daily – regardless what we receive in return.
I know this isn’t easy. It raises every major fear we
have.
“What if I put myself out there and he just ignores
me? What if I’m nice to him and he still insults me?
Then I’m just letting him get away with it.”
These natural responses come from our fear that
we may no longer be worthy of our partner’s
returned love. We’re scared to act first, to put
ourselves out there and risk rejection or lack of
response.
But we can break that pattern of belief. Because
love is not transactional. We don’t give it just to get
something in return.
Love is something we feel and give no
matter what.
The Second Secret to
Lasting Love:
Give your partner the
freedom to love you in
his or her own way, and
maintain the freedom
to talk – about anything.

Secret on Day Seven!}

How We Accidentally Destroy Love…
If you ever feel love seeping out of your relationship, there may be very real problems that need to be dealt with – such as infidelity or anger or other forms of mistreatment.
However in most cases, the absence of love that you may feel (and even tangible issues like those mentioned above) is a result of a deceptively simple, yet very sinister and damaging thing:
You’ve stopped communicating.
The #1 thing that destroys a relationship is the assumption that because someone loves us, they must forever be and act a certain way.
We begin to expect and demand certain things from our partner, and they from us. We stop questioning and exploring how the other feels, what he or she believes, where he or she stands on certain topics.
This causes stagnation. It revokes freedom. It forgets the power of communication and expects both partners to stay the same, feel the same, and act the same – always – simply because at some point in the past, they both said, “I love you.”
And so the talking and exploring and relating stops. The people go on changing, growing, feeling different things on different days.
But the relationship stops allowing those changes to be voiced, talked about or explored.
In many relationships, specific topics become taboo, get taken off the table, or are forbidden. And when anything goes unspoken – or one or both of you feel you can’t say whatever you’re feeling or thinking… this creates walls where there should be doors.
You accidentally destroy the safe space in your relationship and force each other to go outside your relationship to feel safe, to openly communicate, and to feel accepted and listened to.
And trust me, I know how hard it is to say “anything goes” in conversation.
