The Life-Desire page is a coaching and personal development space dedicated to helping people have better relationships and enjoy life more fully. Interesting and relevant articles will be posted. Additionally, some of the topics we have touched on in workshops will be discussed here. Above all Life Desire is a forum for respectful, thought provoking, and frank discussion about sensitive
topics around relating, sexuality and desire. These are edgy personal subjects that require a lot of vulnerability to openly discuss, so why do it? Most of us realize a good deal of what the popular media (and even our friends and family) have told us is bullsh*t. It might seem counterintuitive, but collectively we actually have a lot of wisdom to share with each other. This is the magic of social media. You are here for a reason, so please chime in. Other Coaches and Teachers are likewise encouraged to join Life Desire as contributors on this page as well as our blog on Life-Desire.com. Together we can rock the world! Life-Desire is a movement from a life where most of our decisions are based on fear, to a life where most of our decisions are based on what we actually desire. We think this is a better way of living and encourage everyone who wants to see a kinder, more connected, mindful, and sex-positive world to contribute. This gentle revolution offers the promise to heal and make us better on this planet, however our fears are very real, and it’s something most of us struggle with daily. Our belief is that overcoming fear is a practice that requires steady resolve, and that it’s easier to do in community, than on our own. Having a safe supportive space to examine our beliefs, actions and attitudes is like having a gym for developing the courage to live and love more authentically. If you find something relevant, helpful or challenging, throw it into the ring and see what happens. Learning to handle fear is an important skill and the first thing about this page is that it is a safe place to air unfiltered truth. So here are the rules:
1. No trolling, spamming, flaming, or anything resembling bullying, or hijacking will be tolerated.
2. Use “I” statements when describing beliefs, judgements or feelings. “You” or “they” statements are only for facts or questions.
3. Behind every complaint is a desire (and desire is hot ;-), and that is what we want.
4. If you have a story, make it compelling, get to the point, and focus on what’s sensational.
5. Judgement is great! Judgmental is not. Please be clear about the line between discernment and prejudice (we all have it).
6. Connection is more important than being right on this page. Only assholes who are willing to love and eat crow can mingle with the nice folk.
7. No outing people or airing dirty laundry. Let the vulnerable truth you share be about you and not another.
8. Being vulnerable includes authenticity, transparency and self-responsibility. Go for it if you’re uncertain, and be willing to adjust if you’re called on it.
9. Life-Desire may announce its events, or events and stuff it endorses; and this will be done sparingly. No other marketing is allowed.
10. This forum is devoted to personal growth and development, especially around relationships and sexuality. Please refrain from posts about politics, news, business, and other interests. If it’s about something else, respect everyone by posting it someplace else.
