BLOG: Perk Up the Passion or Pay the Price

The Love Trifecta

It’s time to perk up the PASSION!

If you have a playful, peaceful passionate relationship, you’ve won the love lottery. That’s what we call the Love Trifecta! So we divide our year into those three areas to give each one its’ due focus.

The Season of PASSION is Jan 15th to April 14th, although it's always a great time to invest in intimacy. So let’s dive in and perk up the passion today.

Do you want to improve in the area of how to feel more comfortable, confident and fully expressed in the bedroom (and beyond!)? Or how about how to create a sense of openness, curiosity and adventure?

Beyond the Body

Let’s not forget here that passion isn’t just about physical intimacy...

Passion is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. Passion can range from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of an interest or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards a person. Wikipedia

Where does YOUR eager interest, enthusiastic enjoyment or strong admiration lie right now? How might YOU Love Better during the Season of PASSION?

If YOU had a goal about having more PASSION in your relationship, what might that be?

Play a 90 Day Game

What would make the biggest difference in YOUR relationship in these next 90 days? Imagine, it’s three months from now. What will you have done, experienced, or created between now and then to create more passion in your relationship? In your life?

‍

For most couples, if we don’t perk up the passion, it slowly peters out over time.

‍

Slippery Slope

The cost of letting passion poop out is high. At first it’s subtle. It might even seem “fine”. But face it, “fine” is a slippery slope to f’d up. One day you wake up and it’s just gone between you or even IN you.

Don’t let that happen to you! Invest your intention, attention and action into pursuing PASSION now. Explore, have fun, get creative.

Here are some goals Raj and I created. Use them yourself or make up your own.

Our goals for this Season of Passion:

Create and apply a Season of Passion screensaver with our purpose, vision and goals.
Post a list of the For Better Love Passion Tools on the fridge as a visual reminder.
Find and test out at least 12 new passion products to enjoy and then add to the couples cart.
Take a shower together to start the day. Finish with eye contact, a kiss and say “Hot!”
Do a passion check and score the six passion questions daily at dinner.
Maintain a screens-free environment in the bedroom.
Go to sleep at the same time and give each other a goodnight kiss and say “Hot!”
Get away for a 3-5 day retreat together that includes planning, passion and play.

These are all Games Raj and I will play to Love Better this Season of Passion. How about you?

Endless Avenues

There are endless avenues for pursuing passion. It matters less what you do, than it does that you do SOMETHING. It’s not about loving perfectly. It’s about Loving Better.

Research has shown that it is not the actual state of your circumstances of your life that determine happiness as much as it is about if things are improving or letting worse. So don’t focus on the idea of living the perfectly passionate relationship and life where all your goals and desires are pursued and fulfilled. Just stop focusing on the problems and start aiming for awesome.

You don’t have to be perfect. Just aim for awesome and keep moving closer towards it step by step, day after day, year after year.

Loving Better

We’ve got 90 days set aside this season to engage in and explore passion. But don’t put more pressure on yourself. This is not about getting somewhere. It is about growing together. It isn’t about loving perfectly one day, it is about loving better now.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Life is a journey, not a destination.” Enjoy the PURSUIT of passion.
