"Trying to change ourselves does not work in the long run because we are resisting our own energy. Self-improvement can have temporary results, but lasting transformation occurs only when we honor ourselves as the source of wisdom and compassion.” ~Pema Chodron, The Places That Scare You

There's a strange paradox in personal transformation in that it always includes self-acceptance, warts and all. Paradoxically, as we engage this new things emerge from within.

When you want change in yourself or your partner (or anyone), make your required correction specific, focused and as minimal as possible. Eg you want the person to pay more attention to you on return from work. Tell them that and then praise them when they do. What we often do is broaden our correction of ourselves or others far too broadly which prevents clear change and also demoralises. "I'd like you to show some interest in me when i come in " becomes "we're not getting on, you're not interested in me". This misses the mark, doesn't help the person know what change is needed, and denigrates and demotivates them. This applies equally to our our relationship to ourselves.
