ASK YOURSELF QUESTIONS you may not have asked before, such as: * How do you present yourself to your dates – either with on-line chatting or fact-to-face? * How do you come across on blind-dates? * Are you authentic with your dates – or do you wear masks? * Are you needy and desperate for a relationship? * Do you have the tendency to “jump in with whoever shows interest in you? * Do you honestly wish to have an intimate relationship, or do you (still) prefer to be “free and happy”? * Are you a person who is driven by fear of commitment on the one hand, and fear of loneliness on the other, causing you to always start a relationship and run away immediately thereafter? * Are you true to yourself while in a relationship, or tend to give up on your will, ideas and opinions for “the sake of the relationship”? 4. GET UP THE COURAGE to answer these questions with uttermost honesty. 5. IDENTIFY THE FACTORS behind your behavior(s), such as: * Your attitudes about life, relationships and “the other sex”; * Fears which control you (such as fear of commitment, fear of being alone); * Needs which control you (such as the need to always be loved; the need for space); * Belief-system which controls you (such as ‘freedom is more important than relationship”; “being in control is the best way to survive in life”). 6. TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK INWARDS and observe yourself. 7. HONESTLY SCAN REACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS you exhibit with dates and partners, understand how they might sabotage you, and take the necessary steps to change. 8. EXAMINE YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND FANTASIES about partners and relationships. Ask yourself if they are realistic, and fine-tune them if necessary. 9. MAKE A LIST of the traits you are looking for in a partner. 10. EMBARK ON THE JOU EY TO SELF-AWARENESS : * Take the necessary steps to get to know and understand yourself better; * Find ways to change whatever needs change; * Read books on Self-Awareness and/or enrol in Self-Awareness workshops. Adopting these 10 New Year Resolutions and becoming motivated to learn about yourself and develop your Self-Awareness, will empower you to cultivate a healthy and successful intimate relationship next year.
