“Don’t make someone a priority that makes you an option”
Submitted by LJMaggie on - 11:13 am
Frequent contributor LJ Maggie learns a valuable dating lesson…
My friend had heard that quote the other day and it is so true. At times we make the one person we are so attracted to, that doesn’t feel the same way. They call you when it is convenient for them. They act like they want to see you but then they disappear.
I had that experience the other night. It was someone I hung with once last year. Then 8 months later he started contacting me again, apologizing for disappearing. He had been going through a few things (yes he did tell me what it was) and wanted to hang out again. I agreed and once again, we hung out and he disappeared again. He did tell me he had gotten sick and also got a new job so he was really busy. The week of Christmas he started sending me messages again and said when he got back from being with his family we would go out. Again nothing until the other night. He came over and I made dinner and we started talking. Then he got a call from his brother. His brother needed a jump start. He told him to try to find someone else as he wasn’t close and was busy. If it came down to it he said he would go down there and help him. Things were going great and his brother didn’t call back. Then all of a sudden his phone was ringing. His brother couldn’t find anyone else. We hung out a little bit longer, then he left. He said he would call no matter what when he got down to his brother and wanted to come back.
I didn’t hear anything and still haven’t. I sent him a message asking if everything was okay. No response at all. I was making him a priority and he was making me an option. I have been in situations like that before and always tried to make things work because I was really attracted to them.
2009 is the year of change.
Amen to that, LJ!
Manifesting 101: Dare to Be Bold
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 15, 2009 - 6:51 am
“Well behaved women rarely make history.”
That’s one of my all-time favorite quotes. In fact, you might say, those are words I live by. By giving myself permission to blaze my own trail, be true to myself, and make bold decisions whenever necessary, I may have created my own recipe for success.
What’s your recipe for success? I’d like to give you an ingredient to add: Boldness.
That’s right. In 2009, I invite you to become bold.
Sounds scary? It’s not. Sound exciting? It is!
Becoming bold about the choices you make, the actions you take, and your general outlook on life, you greatly increase your chances of success. Why? Because only with great risk comes great rewards.
Let me put it another way. How has playing it safe worked for you? How has the following someone else’s rulebook affected your level of success – in your career, in love, in life, in spirit?
Chances are, it hasn’t. That’s why I invite you to become bold in 2009. It’s going to take some guts to get where you want to go. To manifest everything your heart’s desire, you’re going to have to take chances, embark on leaps of faith, and make great risks to reap great rewards.
Let me give you an example. If you’re really ready to rock your love life in 2009, are you going to keep doing what you’ve been doing in the past? Or are you going to get off your couch, put on come makeup, clothe yourself in a feel-good outfit, and present your best self to the world?
If you want career success, are you going to show up late for work, do the bare minimum, and expect that raise or promotion? No, you’re going to set goals, work hard, and have the best attitude possible.
Go ahead, embrace boldness in 2009. It will never steer you wrong.
Good luck and happy manifesting!
Manifesting 101: Become Goal Oriented
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 12, 2009 - 6:50 am
Be honest. Were you satisfied with your forward momentum in 2008? Did you accomplish, achieve, and experience all the success, happiness, and personal fulfillment you desired? If so, congratulations! You’re well on your way to your amazing future.
If not, don’t worry. 2009 may just be the year of you. To get you started on the right track, it’s important to become goal oriented. And that’s as simple as making a list of goals for the coming year.
What would you like to accomplish? Lose 10 pounds? Get back out in the world dating? Find someone special to share your life with? Get a better job or land that promotion? Take advantage of the sluggish housing market and buy your first home? The first step in manifesting whatever you desire in 2009 is to write it down. Go ahead, write your goals down. (Right now.)
The next step is to create an action plan. What are you going to do on a consistent basis to get where you want to? Write at lease five action steps for each goal. For example, if you want to buy your first home in 2009, your action plan might look like this:
1. Save for a down payment
2. Get preapproved for a loan
3. Hire a realtor
4. Start looking at properties
5. Make an offer
It really is as simple as that. Now that you have a concrete instruction manual for each of your goals, you now know what you need to be doing on a daily basis to achieve all that you desire in 2009.
Good luck and happy manifesting!
Speaking of Exes…
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 11, 2009 - 6:19 am
Now would be a good time to talk about YOUR ex and to assess your Ex Factor. Did you just break up? Has it been a few days, weeks, months? Are you and your ex still speaking? And more importantly, are you still sleeping together? Your answers to these questions are very important because they help us figure out where you are in the breakup timeline. According to the breakup timeline, the more time and distance you put between yourself and your ex, the better your chances are of healing your heart and moving on. Which is why the following rule is crucial to your recovery…
Breakup Rule #1: You cannot sleep with your ex.
Some of you may think this is a ridiculous rule. You may be so hurt, angry, or just plain over the relationship that you can’t possibly imagine sleeping with your ex. But as someone who’s been there, I know just how tempting it is to fall back into the arms of your ex. There’s momentary comfort there. Sex with your ex offers that false sense of security that everything’s the way it once was. But it’s not which is why you have to follow Breakup Rule #1. It’s the first rule I share with you because it’s crucial to your recovery. And I think it’s worth repeating…
You cannot move on from your Big Breakup while still sleeping with your ex. Just don’t do it!
Which leads me to the second rule of breakup recovery…
Breakup Rule #2: Not only can you not sleep with your ex after a breakup, but you should avoid any contact with him at all including calling, texting, emailing, checking his MySpace page, instant messaging him, driving by his house, showing up at his work, or leaving notes on his car. (Repeat after me — you cannot move on if you’re still holding on!)
IF you’re still sleeping with your ex (or maintaining any kind of contact with him), I want you to find the closest mirror, look into it, and ask yourself why. And then wait for a good answer. Maybe you’re holding out hope that the relationship isn’t really over. Or maybe you’re seeking comfort in the arms of someone you love. Or maybe, if you did the dumping, you’re trying to soften the blow of the breakup for your ex. (If so, stop it right now.) The harsh reality is that by sleeping with your ex or maintaining any kind of close connection with him immediately following the breakup, you’re only delaying your own happiness and making moving on impossible.
And if you’re NOT sleeping with your ex…
Look in the closest mirror and congratulate yourself on how well you’re handling your breakup. You are a total breakup recovery rock star!
Manifesting 101: Spend Time With a Guru
Submitted by Lisa Steadman on January 10, 2009 - 6:49 am
When was the last time you got up close and personal with someone you respect, admire, and would love to learn from? If it’s been years, ask yourself why. If your answer is never, take a look at the results that never has gotten you. Probably a mixed bag, yes?
As a coach, I understand the value of spending time with other coaches. People who inspire, motivate, and teach me. In 2008, I studied at the feet of some of the most incredible masters. People who have spent their life learning, growing, and teaching others. My life is so much richer thanks to being in the presence of these gifted teachers. Plus, my forward momentum catapulted me into new and amazing places in 2008 as a result.
Guess what I’ll be doing in 2009? Spending some more time with my gurus. Regardless of who motivates and inspires you, I invite you to spend some time in 2009 with your gurus. From a valued mentor to a personal success coach to a spiritual adviser, whatever guidance you think you may need this year, give yourself the gift of time with a guru. You’ll be amazed at how this continued commitment to yourself will catapult you to new levels of success and fulfillment.
Good luck and happy manifesting!
Dating in 2008, Optimism for 2009
Submitted by LJMaggie on January 9, 2009 - 6:17 am
Frequent contributor LJ Maggie has high hopes for dating in 09…woohoo!
2008 I had a number of bad first dates, briefly dated a single dad, removed toxic people from my life and learned a few things about myself. 2008 I started talking a few new guys but after a week or two realized they sounded a lot like THE EX and this time I ran. I ran because I knew if I stayed I would be in the same place I was towards the end of 2007 and I never want to be back in that place again. I never want to feel the way he made me feel and when I even get the hint of that feeling, the feeling of being bullied or made to feel less of a person I say goodbye to the person who is making me feel that way.
At the end of 2008 I vowed not to sleep with random people. I vowed to wait to have sex with a new person until I feel comfortable with someone. I also vowed not to get involved with someone who doesn’t want the same things as I do. I met a couple of guys who after only talking for a week were expecting sex on the first date and others didn’t have the same family plan of mine. In the past I would have given into these types of guys but I have realized I want more then that and I deserve to be happy.
2008 also brought new additions to my brother’s and cousins’ families, friends getting engaged, married and even two expecting their first child. One of which might be a new mother by the time this is posted. It did get me down and wondering when it is all going to happen for me. But a friend of mine reminded me tonight that technically I did beat my friends in getting married even though it did end. She also told me that sometimes it takes time for the right one to find you. This past year I did have the guts to tell someone how I feel about them. Who knows maybe he is THE ONE and we are taking our time in getting there.
This could be the year.
