Is Your Attitude Losing Altitude?
Did you know that you can stay positive virtually all the time? It’s a choice. But what if you expect good and don’t always get the outcome you’re hoping for? Well, if you expect the worst, you won’t always get the desired results either. Choosing the brighter outlook produces time spent cheerful and happy instead of downtrodden by gloomy predictions. Doesn’t that make sense?
Do you have a positive outlook on life? Might you be in need of an attitude adjustment?
Even if you want to change it, better to have an attitude of good getting better than depress yourself by focusing on negatives.
Think about this:
Divorced is not pathetic. It is an opportunity for an upgrade. Even if he left you, more than likely you will live to see the day you thank him.
Becoming widowed leaves a painful void and life changes but your partner did not leave you willingly. Trust remains intact, and this trust can be a wonderful starting point for taking a risk on a brand new love adventure.
Never married doesn’t label you as the Great Unwanted. It simply means you never made a bad choice. The big plus is your relationship baggage is small enough to carry into a new love with less problems coming with you.
An imperfect commitment you don’t want to leave offers two choices. One, start finding, acknowledging, and saying out loud everything that is right about your partner. You never know – you might convince both of you this partnership is better than you think it is. Or, your other choice is to gently let it be and start focusing on your own self-improvement.
The runaway groom
COVID has been a time of deepened appreciation for some couples, but it’s been a rude wake-up call verging on an extended nightmare for others. The happier couples were enjoying a honeymoon. The embattled ones were in teeth-gritting pain and avoiding contact for fear of bad getting worse and COVID provided meager opportunities for escape.
Smoldering Through Covid May Equal Revenge at the End
Covid changed us all. In many categories, lives got better or worse but few remained the same. Love was a major area of dramatization. Partners either got closer or couldn’t wait to be apart. Extremes have been more common than subtlety.
5 Ways To Love Your Body — Even When Life Is On Pause
Change what you want — but do it with love.
It’s important to learn how to love your body.
I remember seeing a cartoon titled, “The Difference Between Women and Men,” that had a naked man and woman each looking into a full-length mirror.
The woman saw herself as three times bigger while the overweight, balding man saw a chiseled Adonis.
While I know some men are painfully uncomfortable about their looks, being perpetually self-conscious and unduly critical is more often a problem for women.
So, unless you’re one of the very few who are genetically blessed with society’s idea of perfection, you probably exaggerate your flaws
Many women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are judgmental, which may very well be projection.
Meanwhile, men are, of course, just as likely to be grateful. By the time a man sees you naked, he already desires you and is more focused on enjoying than criticizing.

LESSON TO LEARN BY: Cindy and Mario
Cindy and Mario, are clients of mine who are naturals together – a beautifully suited pair. Their similarities and common interests out weigh their differences. They are loving, sexually compatible, share the same values, and have fun. They had been friends and colleagues for eight years before their romance began. A year later, deciding to marry seemed an obvious and happy conclusion.
7 Ways to Keep Your Relationship Hot
When conditions force you into more alone time, see it as an opportunity.
As important as communication is, without connection — touching, sensing, and giving what you’ve learned your partner needs — a relationship is less likely to be sustainable.
Connection is an all-important key component to a happy love life and a hot relationship.
Here are 7 ways to keep that connection alive and learn how to have a hot relationship.
1. Keep your mate’s most loving messages and texts on your phone and reread them.
The Key to Connection – Mutual Goals
True compatibility is the feeling that you have a helpmate – someone who wants to help you reach your goals and develop as a person. And you must respect and be willing to support your mate’s development and goals as well. With such a strong base, staying together becomes relatively easy.
I’m going to let you in on a secret: people without any dreams or aspirations usually aren’t as interesting as those with a sense of purpose. If you’ve ever met someone who has given up wanting anything for his or her future, you know they tend to lack enthusiasm and are not much fun to be around. They lower the energy level in the room and are likely to be relationship challenged as well.
6 Ways To Make Sure You Love Your Partner MORE After Your Next Fight
Yes, a fight can actually bring you together.
In a perfect world, couples would never fight. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and people in relationships often feel misunderstood, neglected, insecure, and any number of other emotions that can lead to fights and disagreements.
That doesn’t mean your relationship is headed for doom and gloom, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re any ‘less connected’ as a couple.
Fighting, or arguing, can even be healthy for a relationship IF it’s done respectfully and you both come out of it with a better understanding of the other person when the conflict is resolved.
The Secret To Feeling Sexy As You Age Has NOTHING To Do With Your Body
Time to learn where sexiness REALLY comes from.
Albert Einstein may have suffered from cognitive decline, but no one was smart enough to know. Memories don’t start declining until very late in life. If you’re doing it right, there is more in stored for your memory as life rolls on. And filing can be a problem.
Think about it: Now compared to 10 years ago, you know more. Memory has expanded, but isn’t limitless. What you may perceive as decline is uncontrolled off-loading.
In the future, we may have a system for controlled erasure. But now your brain gets rid of what is, for the most part, superfluous.
Can this information make you sexier? Yes — a guarantee. If you would, from this day forward forever, stop saying, “my mind isn’t what it used to be,” you will feel smarter, younger, and sexier.
Because anytime you decrease the number of times you insinuate you are a dummy, you decrease the number of times that you will not feel good about yourself.
I don’t know about you, but if I don’t feel sexy, I am feeling like an idiot.
LOVE STORY
Hell hath no fury like a man scorned. Emotional overload has less to do with gender temperament differences than who holds the power. Lance had a rather lackluster approach to life in general and work in particular. He had the soul of a renaissance man without the resources to back it or a strong urge to earn.
