#TuesdayThoughts - How To Fall In Love With Yourself

2.13-tuesdaythoughts-love yourself

I thought I passed through my midlife crisis already... 

 

But without revealing too much information, I find myself in a tornado of major changes in my life.  And as I head into this Valentine’s Day with the potential prospect of being on my own, I’ve been able to do a lot of thinking. 

 

I’ve realized that being part of a couple has made me complacent.  The time alone has made me realize that I’ve spent most of my energy on other people and not really myself. 

 

I came across the article and heart-ily embraced it. 

 

Fall In Love With Yourself

 

Here’s what I came away with….

 

See Yourself Through The Eyes of Someone Who Loves You

 

· Really grouchy first thing in the a.m. without coffee …this is why I learned how to make coffee at a young age, Mom

 

· Over-planner and over-estimater …consequently, always prepared…although, I don’t know why someone needs to worry about Plan Z

 

· Always asking the deep questions…c’mon, Mom, we’re just watching Gilmore Girls!

 

· My best friend…although, I can’t spend more than 12 hours with you….

 

I wouldn’t change a thing…

 

 

 

 

If There’s Something You Don’t Like About Yourself, Change It

 

· Stop overanalyzing things – I can’t control it so I need to just accept it instead of finding things to “explain” it

 

· Stop planning – learn from my past, hope for my future but LIVE in the PRESENT!

 

· My coffee addiction…I think this is why I overextend myself…

 

 

 

Fall in Love With Yourself by Working on Your Self-Trust

 

· Keep my promises to myself – how many times have I put off Yoga or postponed my ME (curling up on my couch with old Hitchcock movies) Days?

 

·  I’ve done pretty great things in my life…so why am I second-guessing the last 8 years and trying to figure what I did wrong?  I fell in love…I was a person in love…it might not work out…going back, I wouldn’t make any different decisions!

 

· No matter what the outcome, I need to bet on myself.  Design a life that is fulfilled and not dependent on others.  They’re just “icing on the cake”

 

 

Ask Yourself What You Need

 

· I need to simplify – no more shoe sprees or “things” – spend my money on experiences…travel, classes, anything that revs up my passions!

 

· I need authenticity!  This crisis has brought many surprising reactions from my support group.  I’m learning the meaning of true friendship and I will value and take care of those relationships. 

 

· I need more positivity in my life.  Being with people who constantly bring up the negative aspects of life and human kind has dragged me down a bit and that’s not really me at all.  The “ME” I’m in love with is someone who wakes up excited to start a new day. 

 

 

I feel better already

 

In fact, since I’m now “dating” myself, I’m going to take myself out for a fancy coffee.  But only one shot…after all, I don’t want to ruin the date…
