Welcome to the LifeProof Relationship Perspective
The "Choose Love" pillar emphasizes the importance of prioritizing love and connection over being right in relationships. We encourage individuals to focus on the underlying depth and strength of their relationships, akin to the powerful currents beneath ocean waves, rather than getting caught up in surface-level conflicts and chaos. The quality of the relationship - how you're treating each other - matters more than the specifics of any conversation/disagreement. By choosing love, individuals create a self-sustaining positive feedback loop that builds trust and opens space for deeper, more meaningful interactions. The principle extends to self-love, urging a compassionate and kind relationship with oneself as foundational to all other relationships. Practicing "Choose Love" involves dedicating attention to how we treat each other and ourselves, fostering a profound and resilient connection that withstands life's challenges.

The "Connect to the Vision" pillar is about creating and aligning with a personal and shared vision to guide relationships. This practice involves envisioning what you want your life and relationships to look like in the future, considering your core values, desired growth, and ways of being. This vision serves as a powerful compass during challenging times, helping you choose love over fear and navigate stressors with resilience and clarity.
For individuals, it means defining a personal vision that captures aspirations and values, providing a grounding reference point. For partnerships, it involves both partners creating their own visions and then finding common ground to create a shared vision. This shared vision should be treated as a living document, continuously revisited and realigned to ensure it reflects the evolving relationship. Similarly, creating a family vision involves collaborating with family members to define collective goals and dynamics, fostering simultaneous interdependence and support.
The process of connecting to the vision is likened to tuning a guitar—it requires ongoing interaction, modification, and alignment. It emphasizes patience and commitment, recognizing that a vision is dynamic and needs regular attention to remain relevant and effective. By embracing these principles, individuals can cultivate relationships that are loving, nourishing, and dynamic, supporting each other’s growth and navigating life’s challenges with a clear and intentional direction.

The "Expand Your Awareness" pillar focuses on deepening collective understanding and self-awareness to enhance relationships. This process involves actively seeking to understand oneself and others, cultivating curiosity, and engaging in self-study and mutual study with partners. By expanding awareness, individuals can navigate relationships more effectively, fostering deeper connections and greater empathy, and reducing misunderstandings.
The pillar emphasizes the importance of curiosity, especially during emotionally charged moments. Pausing, taking a breath, and shifting focus to get curious about the other person's perspective can create space for understanding and connection. This approach aligns with Victor Frankl's idea that the space between stimulus and response is where you find your freedom.
Overall, expanding awareness involves deep listening and a continuous commitment to learning and understanding oneself and others, fostering empathy, and building more profound connections.

The "Nourish" pillar emphasizes the importance of self-nourishment and providing consensual support in relationships. It starts with asking oneself, "What kind of nourishment or support do I need right now?" and responding to those needs, whether it's rest, healthy food, or connection with nature. The key is to be intentional. Extending this practice to others involves asking, "How can I support you?" or "What would be most nourishing for you right now?" and genuinely listening to their needs. This is where you discover the difference between the support you think they need, the support you want to give, and the support they genuinely want. This approach fosters open dialogue and mutual support, creating a positive feedback loop of nourishment and growth in relationships. By regularly practicing self-nourishment and consensual support, relationships can become more resilient, connected, and dynamic.

Opting in is to lean into life, to receive your experience fully with equanimity and trust. To highlight what we mean by "Opting In," we share a quote by Mark Gafni: "We have one evolutionary choice available to us at any moment: to open or to close. To evolve is to open, and in every moment, we have the option to choose to love the moment open or to remain closed. When we stay open in love, we pulsate alive in the flow of love, creating new life. Conversely, if the moment remains closed, the potential of new life is stillborn. This simple evolutionary concept highlights that to open or to close is no less than to choosing to love or to die. To love the moment open, one must be fearlessly present, facing everything and avoiding nothing. In denial, the moment closes. With radical recognition and humble embrace, we can love them moment open and receive the potent promise of that specific instance in time."
