Love Those Dating Relationships

Passion, deep hearted sighs, and drumbeat heart thumping when you see your beloved?  It’s daisy picking time!  He loves me, he loves me not.  Remember the love poem we sang as kids?  We all have picked the petals off daisies when we were teenagers trying to determine whether the latest man of our dreams loves us or not.  I don’t care whether you are 13, 23, 33, 53 or 73 years old, you still will experience the same unsure feelings when you are dating someone new. 

 

The only sure thing is that you will go through a step by step process of first adoring the new person in your life.  All you want to do is dream about him, talk about him incessantly to your closest friends and sit by the phone anxiously awaiting his call.  Your heart thumps wildly when you see him and blood easily rushes to your face.  During the next stage when you actually have gone out a few times, you begin to notice his human-ness.  Some things aren’t 100% perfect, but that’s okay too.  You have adjusted what you want out of the relationship and are still perfectly okay because he fits 85% of your criteria. 

 

During the third phase, you literally are at a cross roads.  You’ve been together for some time.  You are seeing cracks through the mask he puts on as his public face.  Can you live with the real person?  Your mask is also beginning to crack as he sees you in action when you do things together.  In this stage you are more willing to trust and show a deeper inner you that is a truer picture of who you are.  You have risked taking off your public face.  However, if you do not find he is honorable and trustworthy with some of your fragile feelings, your public mask soon returns.  This is the phase where you decide to stay with him or to leave.

 

During the fourth phase, your relationship deepens as your love deepens.  You have settled into a more lasting love that possibly can stand the test of time.  Deeper love feelings in relationships are based on four “must-have” qualities: trust, honorable great communication skills, and reliablility.

Love Yourself, Then Love Family

With spiritual counseling with women and particularly mothers, I tell them to love themselves first.  The psychology behind this is the secret.  This focuses woman energy on the family in a more pleasant way.  If the woman takes time to pamper herself daily, then she has refilled her emotional well.  She then feels better about herself and has more energy to give to her husband or partner as well as to her kids.

 

 

For example my daughter-in-law has three young children.  As a stay-at home mother for the past decade, she has totally devoted her life to her family.  However she has done little for herself.  In the spring she was telling me how exhausted she was.  I asked her what she was doing for herself and heard the usual “there is no time for me” story.  I asked her the same reflection questions below.  She choose to start pampering herself by getting up an hour earlier every day and going for a walk.  This is  “me time” for her when she could relax, get in touch with herself, meditate while walking, and so on.  She was emotionally exhausted from being a mother and wife.  Four months after doing this for herself, she is re-energized, has lost several pounds and looks forward to life.  That sounds to me like a win-win situation.  She wins, her relationship wins, and her children win.  Win-win situations are so delicious!

 

 

 

Reflection Questions

1.      What 4 things would I choose for pampering myself?           

2.       Where can I find time today to do at least one of those 4 things?

3.      Do I love myself enough for “pamper me time?”

4.      On a scale of 1-10 how well do I love myself?  5 = average, 10 is top of the scale.

Manifest Your Ideal Man Vision Board

Are you in a dating relationship that you want to move to the next step?  We women tend to want a loving relationship.  Are you looking for the ideal partner? Manifest him or her! 95% of women want that love relationship to be with a man whom they can have a family with.  95% of men want the same thing.  Today approximately 50% of new relationships end up in marriage.  Even so, we women want to live with a harmonious relationship whether we marry him or live with him.  Why do you think men want anything different from you?  They too want a loving woman in their lives.

Create your manifesting or vision board!  First be clear on the characteristics of the man or woman you want to bring into your life on a permanent basis.  If you clearly understand the basic “must have” characteristics that you simply need in your partner, then you are well on your way to manifesting your ideal man or woman. 

 

Years ago after being through disaster after chaotic disaster in relationships, I did this exercise and came up with my priority list.  On the list I wrote down the qualities I needed for my partner.  Sometimes, it is easier to write down what you don’t want on left side of your paper, then write down the opposite word on the right side.  Once I clearly understood my “must have these characteristics” list, then I was able to create my manifesting wishes for my ideal partner.   He walked in my door a few days later.  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.  I had to know what I wanted in a man before the universe could bring him to me!  Okay, time to raise your consciousness!

Reflection Questions

3. motivate yourself.  How well you master managing your emotions is up to you.  On a scale of 1-10, where do you feel you are at this moment in time? 5 = average.
4. recognize emotions in others.  This is called people skills.  Where are you at on your scale of 1 – 10 in your people skills?   How well do you read other peoples’ emotions?
5. handling relationships.  If you are at least at a 5 in knowing how someone else feels, then you are well on your way to handling your relationships effectively.  When you are in negative emotion, pause and ask yourself where you are on your love and relationship calculator!
