What are your relationships revealing? Do you see what you really need to see? How can you learn to be better?
We learn in the context of our relationships, and the world is a looking glass reflecting back what we need to know. Our innate desire is to have nurturing and intimate relationships, experience good friendships, and have positive interations with others. Relationships, whether in our personal lives, work, community and any setting, show us what we need to know about ourselves. We all have a desire to feel a sense of belonging; and to be respected, valued, and appreciated. What we give is reflected back to us; and it is just what we need to grow and be better.
We often live our lives with detached reflection. As Stella Terill Mann state, "The daily mirror test will help us see many parts of the truth about ourselves". Thought provoking self-reflection enables us to take inventory of ourselves; and to build, revive and renew our connection with others.
Relationships are mirrors. In this episode, Dr. Jean Marie reveals empowering life lessions that can inspire us to self-reflect, heal, let go and love.
The Love In Action Practice is to reflect on your relationships. Are they adding to or subtracting from your wellbeing. Are they draining or restorative? Are they healing or and bring ease and comfort or destructive? What role are you contributing? Journal on these relationships and what they are showing you about yourself, your perception of love and worth.
Dr. Jean Marie closes with an excerpt on "Self-Belonging".

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
