When we hear the word Intimacy, we often think it means our relationship with others.
But Intimacy is foundationally about your relationship with yourself. Do you expect others to provide you with Attention, Acceptance, Appreciation, Affection, and Allowing, while not providing this for yourself?
Do you know what you really want? Do you give yourself these things? This is where Intimacy begins. With you. You generate goals, you practise the skills, and then you go out to the world and you put it into action. This is the journey.
