Are You Loveable? 4 Tips to Help You Feel Loveable – Part 2

heart candlesSee my previous blog

Here are some Relationship Indicators to let you know if you don’t feel loveable or deep down really don’t believe you deserve to be loved.

  1. Do you need to be in charge? Do you make all the arrangements? Do you ask for input from your partner? Or better still, do you dismiss the input from your partner?

Tip #2

It’s all about love isn’t it? What does loving behavior look like to you? How is love communicated? How does it feel?

The questions above describe someone with a ‘controlling’ personality or at least a strong ‘controlling’ characteristic. Someone who has to know it all, have all the answers, tells others what to do without asking or getting input. You have met that type of person before, right? You may have even been married to one? If you are perfectly honest, you have had some of those behaviors yourself too. Some of the time it is normal:  most of us have a little of that.

However, when it is overpowering, it is out of balance and a less than ideal way of treating another person. It’s disrespectful and inconsiderate. Why do some people behave that way? The short answer is they don’t love themselves very much. They are insecure and full of self-doubt. The controlling behavior is a mask to feel ‘strong’ because inside he/she does not feel that way at all.

Here are few tips to help change this behavior if you have these. Start by being kind to yourself. What is it that you don’t like about yourself? You might ask ‘How do I know what that is?’ Here’s an example. You might know someone that drives you crazy. What is it about that person that drives you crazy? That trait is something you have within yourself that you don’t like about you. Here’s the good news — you can change it!

Maybe your friend doesn’t listen and talks over people. This drives you crazy. Pay attention- do you do that to people? The answer is probably yes, or you do something similar. If you don’t like being treated that way, then don’t treat someone else that way. Make a new choice — this will require some positive self-talk “I am going to be patient when listening to others.” “I am going to slow down and be present, I am interested in what this person is sharing with me.” “I intend to listen with an open mind and not be judgmental or critical.” This is how you create change for the better and how you can change the things that you don’t like about yourself. Make new choices about how you want to feel in your life. Treat yourself better as well as the people around you.

Ask questions in a relationship, have dialogue, and ask for input. Asking questions and communicating is not a weakness:  its called consideration. When you treat yourself in a loving way, you will treat others in a loving way and will be treated that way in return. Love isn’t about control, it’s about sharing. And isn’t that what you seek, sharing and intimacy on all levels?

Are You Loveable? 4 Tips to Help You Feel Loveable – Part 1

LoveThis is a follow-up to my previous blog.

 

  1. Do you give your power away in relationships? Do you let the other person make most of the decisions? Do you trust your own decisions?

Tip #1:

Why do you and others give their power away in relationships? It’s usually because you don’t feel secure or confident with your own decisions. How do you change that? It’s about believing in yourself more. Take a few minutes and write down the accomplishments in your life, there will be several. You made good-even great decisions to reach that accomplishment, correct? Absolutely! So even though you may not feel confident sometimes in a relationship, do this exercise to re-build your confidence and let that carry over into your relationship.  I am sure you have made a good decisions in relationship too, it’s just that human nature tends to focus on the negative instead of the positive. Take your power back and focus on the positive and all you have to give and offer.

 Relationships are about respect, trust, love and compromise. It also takes you showing up and being an active participant in the relationship. It takes two people to make it work, are you ready to experience something different and magnificently better?

Being in the Presence of Love?

I_love_all_that_I_am copyDo you know what being in the presence of love feels like? It feels like honor, trust and surety. You are with a person you can rely on, someone who supports you no matter what is happening. Your partner doesn’t always have to agree with you, or even fully understand your position on something but knowing he/she is always there for you is the presence of love.

It’s a gift knowing you can have someone who shines their light for you and you for them. No one has to be right or wrong, it can be just what is – an experience in this moment in time when you or your partner are growing or releasing some old pattern that is no longer useful.

Being in the presence of love is holding the space of love for your partner and yourself – which may be a bit more challenging. The presence and space of love is no judgment or guilt or doubt. It is a space where all things are possible. Imagine what this feels like — a safe space for love.

Is Tenderness The Same As Intimacy?

love kissDo you know how to express tenderness in a relationship? Is tenderness the same as intimacy? Let’s say they go hand in hand. It’s letting yourself feel vulnerable and connected to your partner and with yourself. I know many women and men who do not like to feel vulnerable. It’s not safe, they feel too open and in the past when they have cared that much they were hurt and the wound was deep.

Does that mean you will never let yourself be vulnerable again or allow yourself to share an intimate tender moment with a partner? I certainly hope not because you are cutting yourself off from love – from giving and receiving love. You wouldn’t want to miss that tender touch, that brush of his or her lips across your neck, the melting of stress and the “yes” to love would you?

I hope your response is of course not! Life is to short not to experience the joys, the tenderness and the surprises of love. Saying yes to love takes courage and a commitment to your personal happiness.

Day Thirteen– Love Inspiration – Magical Love

couple laughingHave you ever experienced the state of magical love? All things flow easily, life is delightful, and our desires not only in love, come easily to us. How do you stay or maintain that state of magical love? Wouldn’t that be amazing if you could do that? Life would be really enjoyable. Because when you are in that state your vibration is higher. And what I mean by that is positive energy, love, joy etc… is lighter and when you move through life in that state it is easier.

One way to create that is to have a positive attitude and be grateful everyday for all the goodness in your life. Especially the little things that you might take for granted like a smile, someone making you laugh, or you making someone else laugh. It could be a kindness, your good health or the beautiful day.

If you are with a partner or want a partner, what would your relationship be like if you were in that state of magical delight? You would show-up as being light-hearted and not so serious or stressed. You could laugh at yourself and be amused when negative thoughts come in. Your energy would be contagious and others around you would change too. If you are seeking a relationship how wonderful would it be to draw a partner to you who could share in the same magical delight!

Life and love can be magical. Are you ready?

Day Twelve– Love Inspiration – Cultivating Love

candle flame 2How do you cultivate love and keep that spark alive? You nurture and feed it with kindness and adventure. If you are in a long-term relationship or want to be in one, keeping the excitement and mystery alive is key! So how do you do that? You keep learning and growing as an individual. That keeps you interesting to your partner. It’s easy for any of us to become stagnant and fall into our routines. When you recognize that take action – don’t wait. If you’re bored in your relationship what can you do to change it?

Here are a few tips:

1. Talk to your partner about how you are feeling and engage him/her – brainstorm new ideas and activities that will keep you both interested and you will enjoy.  Find an interest that you both like to share that experience together. Maybe it’s photography or improv! Be willing to move out of your comfort zone.

2.  Don’t blame your partner for not doing enough or not spending enough time with you. It’s ok to talk about it and come up with engaging or thrilling solutions.  Is it time for a weekend getaway, or go to a concert?  Make it something special you haven’t done in a while or even something brand new.

3.  Commit to a monthly date night and build to a weekly date night.

Love matures with time but you don’t want the spark to go out and to do that it needs to be cultivated. Keep the flame alive, burning bigger and brighter and hotter and hotter!

Day Eleven– Love Inspiration – Sharing & Caring Love

couple walking on beachIsn’t it amazing that we get to share our life with someone or spend time in a relationship? It’s such a gift and a tremendous growth opportunity. Many people are under the illusion that marriage and relationships are all blissful and easy with no conflict! Just the opposite – they are about growth, understanding, and healing the past – they provide the opportunity for each of us to show up, as better people.

We get to share who we are, what makes us laugh, cry, sing and those things that just drop us to our knees. These experiences open our hearts to deeper caring for ourselves and our partners. It opens us up to deeper love and compassion. It spreads our wings and so that we can fly and expand. It’s so beautiful. That’s why we are here; to learn, grow and expand.

Can this deeper level of sharing in relationships be challenging? Of course. They are designed to bring out the best of you and your partner. It’s the ability to hold a sacred space for each other when old layers of the past are released.

The process of relationships allows your heart to grow, so that you can experience greater love and joy. Life is a journey and your love is too!

Day Ten– Love Inspiration – Self-Appreciation

gift of youWhat does it feel like when you appreciate yourself? It feels pretty amazing doesn’t it?  Absolutely! I want to remind you to appreciate yourself everyday. Even if it’s for some thing small.  Maybe you crossed something off your to do list, or helped out a friend.

Your day can buzz by so fast that you can take the good things in life for granted. Our life is made up of small moments. Holding the door open for someone, or saying ‘thank-you’ to someone else. People really appreciate these kind gestures. I know I do, how about you?

Today is the day to acknowledge yourself and your goodness – celebrate the gift of who you are! You provide so much to others and yourself. There are many things that happen behind the scenes in which you aren’t aware. For example, when you hold the door open for someone, that person appreciates the gesture and holds the door open for the next person and so on. You may have heard of the acts of loving kindness, how it grows and grows.

Do you see how one small gesture can spread love in the world, just by you being thoughtful and kind? Appreciate you! What special act of kindness will you reward yourself with this week? Make it extra special –this is a self-love gift just for you!
