Speak Your Truth to Create More Passion
What it means
Speaking your truth simply means bravely sharing with your partner how you truly feel. It’s being honest and open within your relationship, and staying true to yourself. It has to do with knowing yourself – what you value, what you need within a relationship, what you can contribute – and then sharing that. Often it is easier said than done. And when you don’t speak your truth you may find that you have lost yourself in the relationship. Distance can grow and intimacy can be blocked when partners do not feel able to share their truth.
It takes a lot of courage to speak your truth. Sometimes it is hard to even know what your truth is! You may find that you have lost touch with how you really feel inside, with your passions and your zest for life. You may not know how you feel about your relationship, so how can you express that to your partner? (Actually sometimes it is just fine to say you don’t know how you feel, and that IS your truth at that time). Honesty opens the way for intimacy.
Signs that you are NOT speaking your truth
Some signs that you are not in alignment with your truth may be that you feel irritable, aggravated and dissatisfied a lot of the time. You may feel angry at your partner and not know why, or perhaps you find yourself griping and picking fights over minor things.
When you are feeling terrible and angry and you are not sure what it is about, it’s a good idea to take a step back and go inside yourself. Is it really about something ‘they’ are doing? Or is it something inside of you? Often we can unconsciously take our own resentment and anger and channel it towards our partner by making it about them or something they are doing. We can create all kinds of drama this way. Often this is the easier option, rather than going inside to explore what is really going on.
