The Work in Love and Life: A Personal Story❤️
15 February, 2018
Doing The Work feels like a balm for the soul. It dissolves every stressful feeling—anger, hurt, disappointment, heartbreak—bringing light and clarity instead. Chaotic thoughts in the mind find their place, quiet down, and leave us. What remains is freedom, peace, gratitude, and a profound sense of joy and oneness with ourselves and with the whole universe.
I’ve noticed that if before doing The Work I feel angry, hurt, upset, or stressed—about an hour and a half later, in exactly the same reality where nothing has changed on the outside, I suddenly feel harmony, peace, gratitude, and joy ✨✨✨✨
I call this inner power—the ability to change your reality by working with your thoughts… to discover that what you believed had happened never really happened at all. That is freedom as Byron Katie says✨✨✨
The Work especially helps me in relationships and in my personal life ❤️❤️❤️. It brings incredible clarity within me, and my relationships become deeper, warmer, and filled with more love ❤️❤️❤️
Let me share one personal story.
I celebrated New Year’s in Kyiv with the most precious person in my life—my beloved Artem. During the holidays, I saw an announcement for a New Year’s jazz concert. I adore jazz and music in general. Honestly, I had always dreamed of having a partner who loved jazz too—so we could go together to jazz festivals and concerts, enjoy the music, and share that joy with each other.
Artem agreed to come with me. But… he slept through the entire concert 😆 and at the very end even asked me if I happened to have headphones with me so he could listen to something else! That moment broke my heart. I was upset and angry that I couldn’t share my favorite music with him, and that he didn’t have the same taste as I did.
I left the concert hurt and disappointed. The whole way home I didn’t speak to Artem, while my mind kept painting a future where this one situation meant we would always have different interests, that we wouldn’t understand each other, and we wouldn’t be compatible. My thoughts carried me even further, convincing me that a true soulmate should have the same tastes and interests as me. You can imagine how far my mind ran with that one story…
Because I felt so heavy, I decided to do The Work. I asked Artem to be my facilitator and help me work on the thought: “We have different interests.”
What followed was a deep and eye-opening process. I realized that aside from music, we actually have many interests in common. And most importantly, our greatest shared interest is that we are interested in each other—that we enjoy being together and that we love each other ❤️❤️❤️
I also realized that if we sometimes have different tastes or interests, yet we still want to be together, that means our relationship is strong. It means we have something deeper in common than just hobbies—something that doesn’t change, even when interests shift (as they inevitably do in life). This awareness was so powerful for both of us. It brought us even closer and made our bond even stronger 💖💖💖💖
This is why I am so grateful to have found such a powerful tool in my life—one that helps me scatter chaotic thoughts and false beliefs, see the truth, and return to peace, harmony, joy, gratitude, and more love every single time 😌🌸💛☀️✨
On March 25th I’ll be leading a The Work Workshop, where you will come home with the same sense of harmony and peace—and with the tool in your hands to free yourself from any stressful thought or situation ☀️☀️☀️
