		<description><![CDATA[I like to use imagery to help clients (and myself) understand what life is like when lived "in the question mark."  Imagine then, if you will, the two extreme options.  For example, the man I am dating is "in"  -- meaning he is "the one," or he is "out," meaning I must break up with him immediately.  If I choose to live in the "question mark," however, I am standing smack dab in the middle of both these extreme options.

What, though, does it feel like to BE, to LIVE  life in the question mark?  Here's how to experience those feelings so that you can begin to go there effortlessly when you feel yourself heading down the path of "either/or"  black and white thinking]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who have that covered, keep in mind that I am not just speaking about telling a guy "no," when it comes to sex, or asking that he be on time.  I am talking about the types of boundaries that set your stomach a-twitter simply by envisioning the conversation in which you have to say "no,"  face the retaliation, see the look of dismay or have the argument that ensues once you draw the line.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is the scoop on this week's Question at Dating With Dignity: How do I establish boundaries and express my needs without causing my guy to "run off," or think I am too high maintenance?

Ok, the truth is this:  Time isn't "running out," but I invite you to act like it is, because often we only act when we think there is an immediate consequence.
The consequence is this:  The longer you play it "cool," the longer you are allowing yourself to spend time dating men who aren't looking for what you want -- a relationship.]]></description>

While they realize that the results each time are exactly the same, there seems to be something that propels them forward into madness, frustration and disappointment.
That said, how can you immediately stop [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ask yourself, "What is the next step I could take today?"  The answer will come in the form of small, measurable steps. What's now required is faith that taking this step, following intuition and listening to the quiet voice within will provide the direction that is required to maintain forward motion.  Want more information?   Learn to ask more specific questions -- not of your friends, mentors or coach, but of yourself.  Clear away the clutter to gain access to your internal wisdom.  Develop a practice to connect to this wisdom consistently through yoga, meditation, a brisk walk, or simply staying still during your morning shower.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that letting go of a relationship, especially when the person meets 75% -80% of your needs, is a challenge.  Men and women constantly ask me what is the "right" way to break up?  Should they have "break-up" sex, can they be just  "friends," should they talk on the phone regularly?  Or, should they just sever ties  --  make a clean break?  ]]></description>

First off, it's important to know that it is, in fact, difficult to say "no," to someone. Old patterns of creating drama to make it "easy," must be avoided at all costs. He or she does not have to be a "jerk," to warrant ending a relationship. Most important, once you determine if this person will not meet your long-term relationship goals, it is time to say good bye. Here are a few tips to get you through this difficult period.]]></description>
