Add You - Couples Relationship Assessment Quiz - Part 3: Conscious Listening
Thinking about list building pages, you probably think: headline, bullet points, opt-in box, am I right? Well, of course. Those things are mandatory, or you won't collect many names. Yet, under the stuff you see on the list building page, there's a psychological perspective to consider. Why do people sign up for other people's lists?The first thing they see on the list building page is your headline. How well written is it? Does it tell readers: What's in it for me? Or the WIIFM principle. What's in it for them is very, very important. Your headline has to show people some benefit of being on your list. If it's something you want, you're more likely to sign up, right? For instance, if you consider

War correspondents today owe a lot to the pioneer work of William Russell for the London Times during the Crimean War of 1854 - even though the risks are greater.Eight journalists so far have been killed covering the War Against Terrorism in Afghanistan. Daniel Pearl, reporter for the Wall Street Journal, has been kidnapped and threatened with execution. As this is written, his fate is unknown.In the year just past, 37 journalists lost their lives covering military conflicts around the world. All received the same instructions from their editors, as did Russell: "Tell the exact truth."Russell's dramatic dispatch of a cavalry charge against entrenched Russians made him famous and enco
This free set of assessments offers you the chance to find powerful answers. If you are willing to take the time to reflect on these questions, discuss them, and be honest with yourselves and each other, it can help you on your journey to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship so you can be
Lovers at Night, and
Partners for Life.
The adventure of life gives us the incredible opportunity to learn and grow as individuals. I like to say that we do not stop learning, stretching, growing, maturing, and changing until we are 6 feet under. What happens so often is we go through life unaware that we don’t know what we don't know. In this fast-paced world, many of us do not have or take the time to sit, take a deep breath, and really think about the statements addressed in these assessments. We usually do not reflect on and consider the impact the answers to these statements can have on our relationship. We must gain the awareness, learn the techniques, and practice the skills to Co-Create a Conscious Relationship.
Take your time to think about each statement and be honest. One partner should use a black pen and the other partner a red pen. Rate your degree of agreement for each statement on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being a definite yes and 1 being a definite no. Write your score on the first line to the left of each statement. The second line is for your partner's score.
You may find it difficult to give certain statements a low score. You may worry that your response will hurt or offend your partner or create conflict. Honesty, however, is critical for the success of the Co-Create a Conscious Relationship program. Also, no matter what score your partner writes down, be supportive; do not get defensive, resentful, or angry. Thank him or her for being courageous and honest. All of the topics in this assessment series are covered in detail, with exercises, in my book The Journey from I-TO-WE.

Gifts are said to be material symbols of emotions like love, piety, devotion, gratitude, solidarity, and charity and sometimes achieve for you what simple words can not do. It’s always a nice experience to gift something to someone.Though we don’t ponder much over the price of the gift as long as it expresses what we want to convey, the price of a gift does sometimes affect our pocket. Has not the man on the cash counter of a gift shop often made you cough up huge amounts merely for a teddy bear or a pack of perfume? You don’t have to think too much. He has and he has done it many times!It is therefore a welcome relief for you that some cash back portals have come up with exciting cash back

2005 is just around the corner. What are some of the obstacles that stop business owners from reaching their Biggest Vision for their business each year?
