If you’ve been doing a ton of work on yourself by changing routines and bad habits or taking courses about self-improvement and your partner isn’t supportive or excited about growing with you – this video is for you.

In 1994 when I first met my husband Chris, he was participating in a three-day seminar about personal development. I was completely weirded out and thought to myself, “I’ve met the man of my dreams and he’s in a cult.” I was really confronted by what I might learn about myself if I took the same course he was in because I wasn’t complete about how I treated former relationships, and I was scared that something might change between him if I started to get to work on my own personal development. I was scared at what I might find out about myself if I went on this journey.

Instead of Chris giving me a guilt trip about doing the seminar, he would just share what he was learning. In doing that, my curiosity grew and I eventually joined him on the path of personal development.

What do you do when the person you are with isn’t supportive of your growth and refuses to work on their own? It may not seem like it, but it is a HUGE problem.

First things first, you have to understand you can’t pressure them, give ultimatums, or give them so much shit that they all of a sudden start on their own personal development path. It’s not going to happen.

But what you CAN do is influence whether or not they truly want to.

The keyword in personal development is PERSONAL. It’s about you. When the person you love isn’t supportive about your growth, you continue to do you. Continue to journaling, continue reading and going to the gym…and then, you’re going to share with them the things you’re learning.

By opening yourself up this way they’ll begin to see why they should consider diving into personal development in their own way, without you telling them to.
