Self Care is BIG!

I'm really big on self care when it comes to coping and surviving an affair. In many ways your capacity to cope and create the life and relationships you really want begin with self care. Here are just a few reasons:

1. You need energy and internal strength during this difficult time. Infidelity will test every bit of you emotional and sometimes even physical stamina. Self care keeps your internal tank filled, ready for what you must face.

2. A prominent theme for someone facing infidelity is: "What's wrong with me? How am I so defective that he/she ends with in the arms of someone else?" Self care fights the tendency to think this way. You discover, as you care for your self, that just maybe.... you are ok!

3. You have a much better chance of saving the marriage/relationship if you attract it to you rather that attempting to "make it happen." You want to be attractive, wanted and desirable. This emerges from the practice of self care. This takes much less effort and works better than "pounding away at him/her."

4. Waiting and reacting to your spouse/partner is a dead end road. Pining away and basing your life on his/her actions or lack of them leaves you internally bankrupt and diminishes the possibility of something wonderful happening. Self care shifts the focal point to your strength, both internal and external. You gain confidence and become attractive.

I want to introduce you to a very very special person who can help you immeasurably with self care. She is very positive, energetic, brilliant lady who has a passion for people and listens extremely well.

I know this because she is my daughter. (I may be a little biased, but not much!) Take some time to contact Katie.

Katie offers opportunities for you to create a life and lifestyle in which you:

Look and Feel More Attractive

Surround yourself with positive people

Are placed in a situation where you can help others

Move toward financial independence

Here's an article Katie wrote for you:

HOW CAN I LOOK AND FEEL MORE ATTRACTIVE?

No doubt about it… Inner and outer beauty builds confidence which affects our life.

How sad it is to see so many men and women these days lacking the confidence and self-love need in order to positively move through crisis and the pain that comes with it. Especially if your crisis involves infidelity, chances are you are feeling pretty low right now.

I want to help you. I want to give you the tools to help you through this rough patch in your life and come out on the other side as a more positive, confident and beautiful person.

Focusing on self-care is going to be very important as you move through the next phases of your life and relationship. Feeling beautiful and attractive is such an important part of being a healthy individual.

To feel desirable is the aspiration of many men and women. I have decided to dedicate my time to helping individuals just like you, achieve the feeling of inner and outer beauty they may be lacking.

So, you ask, “How do I achieve this feeling of beauty ?”

Well, here are 2 main factors that affect beauty:

1. What you put ON your body:

Did you know that everything you put on your body is absorbed by all major organs within 26 seconds?

This is true of most things you use on a daily basis. It’s sad but true…most products we put on our body to improve our looks and health, contain harmful ingredients such as chemical fragrance, dyes, or mineral oil.

The scary truth is that these ingredients actually speed up the aging process and make us look and feel less attractive.

What you put on your body makes a difference in the way your skin looks and feels, and how your body feels. When you are using products that are pure and safe and beneficial, you really do look and feel like a more attractive and beautiful individual.

2. What you put IN your body

I think we all know that eating healthy food and taking vitamins is good for our health. But, do you realize just how important these factors are when it comes to your inner and outer beauty.

During a time of crisis, self-care in the form of eating healthy and taking proper supplements can make a world of difference.

Just ask yourself the following questions:

  • Am I getting complete nutrition on a daily basis?
  • If so, is my body digesting everything efficiently?
  • Am I protecting myself against free radical damage with anti-oxidants?
  • Is my energy level sufficient enough to keep me going throughout the day?

So often, we think we have all the pieces of the puzzle neatly put together, but there is something missing. When we begin to address the above two factors together, we truly begin to look and feel beautiful.

I want to remind you that I am not only addressing the outer “beauty” that many of us consider appealing. You don’t have to be a super model to be attractive to other people or, especially, your spouse.

What you think attracts others to you is not always what they find truly desirable. Love yourself and others can’t help but be drawn to you. Value what you put on your body, value what you put in your body, and the rest will fall into place.

HOW CAN I SURROUND MYSELF WITH MORE
POSITIVE PEOPLE AND INFLUENCES?

When faced with change and times of crisis, it is so important to surround ourselves with people who are positive and who want to help us succeed.

The people we choose to go to for comfort, compassion, and advice often have a huge influence on our overall state of mind. If we are surrounding ourselves with negative people, we are most likely to have a negative attitude towards our life and relationships as well.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you enjoy your job?
  • Do you feel fulfilled by what you do on a daily basis?
  • Are you spending as much time with your children as you like?
  • Do you have hobbies and interests that keep you occupied when your mind wants to focus on the negative things happening in your life?
  • Are you always learning about the things that interest you?
  • Do you have good friends to lean on and ask for advice?

Imagine for a moment this situation… You have been fortunate enough to find a job that allows you to utilize your best qualities. Your boss always has your best interests in mind and appreciates everything you do for the company.

You love the people you work with and look forward to speaking to them about your accomplishments. You also feel comfortable sharing your struggles and disappointments with you co-workers.

You are recognized for your efforts and promote when you help others succeed. You get to choose those who you work for, and who will work for you. You are compensated for your efforts and receive a monthly raise, without having to put in extra hours. You spend quality time with your family often.

How does this environment make you feel? Do you feel positive, motivated to succeed, proud of your accomplishments and efforts to help others? If everyone in this environment feels inspired imagine the positive, synergistic effects on everyone.

I want to make the above scenario and reality for you. As you go through tough times in your life, you need to surround yourself with people who truly care about you as an individual and want you to succeed.

“Our Region is made up of the most spectacular men and women. They are smart, caring, funny and talented leaders. It is as if God had this amazing puzzle and He kept flicking pieces at me, one at a time… Ultimately, the pieces fit together perfectly, each having a set of skills contributing to the success of our Region’s puzzle. You would be surprised to know the finished picture of the puzzle was not a white Mercedes-Benz, or the amazing paychecks and cool family trips — it was a picture of friendship, accomplishment, growth and a sense of purpose, knowing our team was making a positive difference in the lives of so many families.”
