Intimacy is the one thing that makes EVERYTHING better! It is the essence of closeness that a person experiences by feeling connected and understood by another. It happens inside of us, before it happens outside of us. There are four different types of intimacy: Spiritual, Emotional, Intellectual, and Physical … I call this, Intimacy in 4-D. Today, I am sharing some thoughts about Emotional Intimacy.
Emotional intimacy … It begins with self-awareness. It’s having awareness of: what you like and don’t like; what you want and don’t want; who you are and that determines who’s in your life. It is the maturation of the unseen self. It’s knowing that we have feelings, but understanding that our feelings aren’t facts. It’s the ability to observe people, situations and circumstances and how those things make you feel and as we mature and grow emotional intimacy happens when we care about other people, their situations, their circumstances and how we make them feel. It’s an awareness of how who we are, how we feel, and what we do that affects others and the world around us.
In one word, emotional intimacy happens when we care. It happens when we care enough about ourselves and choose to be healthy, that we can care about others and help them become healthy, by being who we are!
