Day 40 - Hod of Yesod: Humility of Bonding
Humility is crucial in healthy bonding. Healthy bonding is the union of two distinct people, with independent personalities, who join for a higher purpose than satisfying their own needs. True humility comes from recognizing and acknowledging G-d in your life, and knowing that He gives you the capacity to unite with another, despite your distinctions.
Exercise for the day: When praying acknowledge G-d specifically for helping you bond with others.
