“I Will Do for You: Touch Me with Decision”
Decisions are made with the heart and mind. The heart says, “I love this person enough to commit to him or her.” The mind says, “Nothing and no one will change that.” If these two forces agree, the decision will be a solid one. However, if only the heart is committed, once the person does something hurtful, his or her partner generally ends the commitment because his or her decision was based on emotions (the heart). If only the mind is committed, you may remain in a relationship based on the idea that you need the relationship or that it is the best thing to do, even if you have no feelings for the person or are unhappy with the relationship.
The relationship will eventually end the minute someone else shows the possibility of giving you something that you don’t have—happiness. Keep in mind that if you stay in a relationship that your heart is not in, you are not really there. You are where your heart is. Therefore, look for ways to re-establish your heart-mind agreement in order to renew your commitment to your partner. Feelings change, but a true decision never will. Decide to love your partner with your heart and mind. If these two internal forces agree, no external force can change it.
“Summary”
You love your partner based on your heart and your decision to love him or her. A true decision cannot be changed by mere circumstances. A tree is a tree. It does not change based on seasons, the time of day or vibrations in the ground. If you truly decide to love someone, it is forever settled.
“Daily Interaction”
Tell your partner three things that you love about him or her with a game of Charades. Think about something her or she does, such as an expression, a look or an action, and then express all three to your partner without saying a word. Show your partner that you love him or her. Have fun!
