Being a wife and having a loving spouse has totally proven to be one of the biggest blessings in my life. Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being someone's wife. My mother was a great wife. She was always my Dad's partner, travel buddy, help mate and friend. Their relationship was a great model for how a man and wife should conduct themselves with love and respect while raising a family.
My husband has been the friend that I prayed for. Our union has proven to a blessed one as we have grown together in spiritual, emotional and physical realms of life. I am just so happy that I found a mate who provides me with the support and love that I deserve. Our love and the faith has actually elevated our entire lifestyle. In this relationship I have developed talents that I didnt know I had, I have stepped out of my comfort zone and I provide him with the same type of support.
But before I reached this point, there were certain behaviors and mental barriers that I had to break through. I was extremely stressed, depressed and sad. I was in need of a change. I needed to keep my thoughts optimistic. I started working on myself. Some of my findings may seem like "common sense" cliches but the problem is that so many of us face the same challenges. Being and remaing positive is not as easy as it sounds and if it were everybody would be happy!
Listed below are just a few things that I did for myself that prepared me for the love I wanted to receive. The key is to be consistant.
1. Love thy self- No one will love you the way that you want to be loved unless you love yourself. This involves having a positive image of yourself.
2. Love thy neihbor- You can't expect to get love unless you give love. You must showcase the love you have in your heart by doing to others as you would do unto you.
3. Pray or Meditate on Love- Find and seek solitude. Listen to your heart. Pray and ask for what you want. The answer will show up later. Do this consistantly and often.
4. Maintain a Positive Attitude toward Love- When you maintain a certain level of positivity, people will be drawn to you like a magnet. Make sure you are putting out the right bait...or energy.
5. The Past is The Past- Move on and let go of ant unnecessary baggage and drama. Forgive yourself for past mistakes! Use the past experiences as lessons and never dwell.
