Keeping Intimacy Alive in Your Relationship

By David B. Bohl | May 10, 2008 | No Responses Yet

When you are trying to keep up with the daily grind, it is sometimes easy to lose sight of the fact that you reap what you sow in your personal relationships. If it is intimacy you desire, you must first be able to inspire it. If you desire friendship, you must first be able to bestow it. If you seek equality and fairness, then those qualities must work both ways.

istock_000004764477xsmall.jpgRelationships are like flowers. They need sunshine and tending. They need to be looked after. They need attention. Without these things, the relationship will grow stale and wither away, like a flower dying on a vine.

As a relationship blooms, it becomes the priority in each person’s life. Both people put in the effort to make time for each other, to pay attention to each other, and to constantly let the other person know how much they care. There is tremendous happiness in each others’ company, and the relationship brings a great sense of fulfillment.

But as the relationship matures, the struggles of day to day life gradually creep back in, like weeds growing in the garden. At first they may not even be noticeable, but if left unattended, they can slowly take over and choke out the flower.

Do you have a personal plan for success?

Most people today are completely overwhelmed by everything that life throws at them on a daily basis. Because the boundaries between work and personal life have become so blurred, we become lost, confused and derailed from our goals.

Personal success is attained in gradual increments by setting and achieving goals.

At SlowDownFast.com, we have developed a comprehensive, customizable and highly flexible program which addresses such a need: The Slow Down Fast Intensive Empowerment System (IES).

The Slow Down FAST Intensive Empowerment System helps individuals achieve their goals.

Here’s how you can benefit from this program:

  • You’ll realign yourself with your purpose.
  • You’ll once again connect with your values and talents - and this will ignite your passion and drive to succeed.
  • You will leverage your own, unique learning style for quicker retention and more rapid advancement.
  • You will be empowered in your personal life, which in turn fuels you professionally and brings you greater commitment and dedication on the job.

What Women Need: Is it Really that Different From What Men Need?

By David B. Bohl | April 25, 2008 | 2 Responses

Men often complain that they have no idea what women need. They even go further to say that even when they ask women what they need, women don’t know themselves. It’s no wonder men and women have a challenge communicating and meeting each others’ needs.

istock_000005621007xsmall.jpgTruth be told, we are not here to meet each others’ needs, but more to understand our own and others’ needs and to offer support and guidance to help each other fulfill their own needs. That’s not to say men and women don’t fill certain needs for each other, but the bottom line is it’s up to each of us to fill our own needs–whether from the opposite sex, same sex friends, or ourselves.

What I’ve discovered for myself in coaching both men and women is that what women need is really not a whole lot different from what men need. Other than the basic needs for survival and safety, here is what I’ve distilled down to some of our basic needs for either gender: Read Post

How to Finance Death

By David B. Bohl | March 12, 2008 | No Responses Yet

From my guest post How to Finance Death at Dumb Little Man:

“Any unfinished business is a cause of ongoing stress. While it’s not the most joyful topic, any steps towards overall personal development should involve tying up all the loose strings of your life. This includes planning for your ultimate demise, and determining how your assets are to be distributed once you have left this life behind.

istock_000003471582xsmall.jpgThere are many who believe that once you’ve died the disposition of money or property is no longer of concern. Yet most of us have family members we would like to know are taken care of when we are no longer there to see to it ourselves. At the very least, the greediest person can take steps to ensure the tax man is cut out of the equation.”

Where is the Love?

Tips for Getting Back that Old Spark

By David B. Bohl | March 11, 2008 | 3 Responses

Ever stop to look at your partner and wonder, “Where has all the excitement gone?” Healthy, committed relationships can sometimes lose their luster because we get too comfortable and fall into old routines. We take each other for granted and put our partners on the Low Priority list. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Like anything worth having, good relationships take work. Fortunately, this kind of work doesn’t have to be grueling. In fact - once you get it going, you’ll find that rekindling the old flame is really pretty fun - no matter your age or how long you’ve been a couple.

Awareness: How You Live is Who You Are

By David B. Bohl | December 17, 2007 | 3 Responses

Knowing what you want to be, and who you want to be, is the first key to actually being that person. “What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you are saying” is a good quote that describes, more often than not, how most people are. They say they want to be kind, generous, and patient when they are being mean, selfish and impatient. Awareness is how we get to where we want to be. If you want to become an improved version of yourself, you first have to know what you want and then you can begin to go in that direction; what you do is who you are, but when you change what you do, you change who you are.
