What’s Keeping You From Finding Him?
At one of my recent School of Love events we talked about finding and keeping the man of your dreams. In today’s post I want to share some of the insights we gained with you, as well as the first steps in finding love.
One of the observations we made was this: If you are trying to find a man but are not in an intimate relationship right now, chances are you don’t really want to be in one. And, more often than not, it’s unconscious fears that are holding you back.
If you want to find love it’s important to identify those hidden fears.
This is how they show up: Every time you think about having a fabulous relationship, a little voice creeps in telling you things like, “Oh, yeah, how are you going to do that? First you’ll have to lose that extra weight.” Or, “Don’t kid yourself, you’re not interesting enough or pretty enough, or ___________ to attract the guy you really want.”
To justify your fears, you make excuses. You look for evidence. You tell yourself that there are no good men out there, that the ones that are available are not interesting – or not interested in you, that a relationship is nothing but pain, that you’ll have to give up your independence, that you can’t have what you want in a relationship, etc.
So, what can you do?
First, relax, breathe and let go. If you truly want to find a man, the one that’s right for you, you can. He’s actually already out there.
Then, be honest with yourself. What’s holding you back from finding him? Let those fears bubble up and take a good look at them. What are the voices in your head telling you? What stories are they making up? How are they trying to convince you that you can’t have everything you want?
Once you are fully aware of your fears, take some small steps to expand into them. Instead of pushing them away or ignoring them, accept them, be with them and really get to know them. How does it feel to have that fear? Where in your body do you feel it? What are the sensations that go along with it? How would your life be without it?
This is a very important step. Realizing and dealing with your fears will serve you in all areas of your life. As long as you keep them hidden away in the subconscious they’ll keep attracting the very things you are afraid of.
Remember, you are an amazing person, you are wonderful and you deserve to have everything and anything you want in your life including a great partner and a wonderful relationship.
Now that you have dealt with your fears and are able to recognize them, you are ready to take the next steps of exploring what it is you really want – in a man, in your life and in a relationship. More about that in my next post.
As always, thank you for reading.
Love and Light,
Karin

"I need to start with this: Karin is awesome! From the first time we spoke I knew I wanted to work with her because of her incredibly intuitive gift as a coach and teacher. She nailed it every time I had fears or insecurities and I left every session feeling empowered, encouraged and excited. From the heart to the point, I hope to be able to be near as good of a coach as Karin. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor and I'm very proud to be a graduate of Karin's Coaching Academy."
"I feel so fortunate that I discovered Karin Lehmann International! Before I began working with Karin, I felt scattered, frustrated and couldn't seem to find a direction to focus my true passions and create something I can be proud of and enjoy. Her insight, wisdom and creative inspiration helped me find that clear direction. I couldn't be more pleased with what we created during our coaching sessions and I look forward to working with Karin again."
“Karin is a careful listener for your deepest needs and desires. I have worked with her several times over the last ten years and I always experience profound insights to help me with the next level of my own work. With her calm strength and compassion, Karin creates a space for me to see beyond my own fears and worries. Thanks to her loving attention and support I am able to make important decisions from my heart. I love my coaching experiences with Karin and highly recommend her to anyone who is in search for what’s next!”
„Karin has the gift of seeing the best in every person. Within my first session she assisted me to understand myself better; she helped me to find out what I really want and what my special talents are. Going on a ‘treasure hunt’ with Karin has been so much fun and I will always be grateful to her for uncovering my life path with such ease. Thanks to Karin I am so much happier today! -Franziska Fischer, Berlin
"Karin Lehmann has a unique ability of identifying one's special gifts & talents. She has coached me to show me my expertise and has encouraged me to bring forth my talents and let go of the fear of using them as my career.
Karin is very insightful into the human drama that takes place everyday. She has helped me to identify the things in my every day life that have stopped me from living my dream. I highly recommend her!"
"Wow! Karin is amazing. Within two short weeks, I booked a commercial, got a call back for another one, and I am having so much fun. I'm starting to live my life as if every day were the weekend! I feel so fortunate to have had Karin come into my life. She helps transform you in a very gentle, organic way that just feels RIGHT. Yay!"
“My work with Karin has changed my life! In my daily interactions with clients, friends and significant others, her brilliance rings in my ears. She taught me to relax and let joy be the barometer for my life. Her wisdom, clarity and honest perception of the moment is remarkable."
“In one session with Karin I was able to really get to what lights me up. Being a life-coach myself I was amazed at how I had missed the obvious that Karin so easily picked up on. She was able to quickly get a true sense of me and what really matters in my life. I am now spending more time and energy on just that. Karin shifted my attention from what I should be doing to what I really am passionate about, and everything is flowing easily now."
“Coaching with Karin put the fun back into my life. She "tuned in" immediately to my needs and created a space without any pressure so that I could clearly see my next step. Energy for my life and career has returned. Thank you, Karin!"
“Karin encouraged me to keep looking in my heart for what I wanted in my life and not to settle for anything less than what makes me absolutely happy and fulfilled. Out of that I was able to build a strong and powerful relationship, start my own business and bring the fun back into my life!" -Dana Minney, Austin
