If your relationship is not working - listen to your inner voice

If you look back at your life, at your previous relationships before they ended... and I’m talking about the relationships that didnt work out here...think back to how you were feeling and thinking when you were in that relationship – I bet you will admit that you knew (long before you actually broke up)... deep down inside yourself somewhere, that it wasnt going to work out. You had an inkling.... or gut feeling.... you just knew that the relationship wasnt right?!

A lot of people carry on in a relationship (that they know is not right for them) for a good while longer then they should... months... maybe even years... pretending they don’t feel that way...

Make time for the people you care about TODAY!

Society today is constantly about rushing here or there... people never seem to have enough time to do everything, see everyone and have a little time left over for themselves. Well I’m gonna lay it out for you now... even if you don’t want to hear it... the reason you may feel you dont have enough time to do everything is purly because you have allowed that to happen... so now its time to make a change. Why make a change you might ask.... because making time for the people you love will enhance your life like you wouldnt believe.

Define your Personal Boundaries - and make your life better!

We all have boundaries - both Physical and Mind Boundaries that we do not like other people to cross... (Unless... they are invited of course).

Let's start by defining your Physical Boundary. Just because you can't see it - doesn't mean it's not there. For example; have you ever been talking to someone and you begin to feel uneasy... claustrophobic perhaps.... Maybe you feel like they have come into your personal space? That you need to take a step backwards in order to feel at ease again? That's because whoever you were talking to... crossed into your Physical Boundary and your subconscious mind didn't like it.

Grow younger… in your mind!

Age is just a number... it's a frame of mind. I often wonder if people didn't know their age - or live by a label of what "number" they are... how old would they feel? When you are defined by your age -people tend to live the way they "should" for the age that they are. In my opinion... your mind defines how old you are - therefore... you are only as old as you feel... and there are plenty of ways to stay and feel young.

My dad said something to me that really makes sense when we think about this topic - if there were no mirrors in the world, and people didn't know what age they really were - they would look younger on the outside as well and feeling younger on the inside. My father grew young... he really did - and I know some of you will say that it makes no sense - but for anyone that knew my dad... I'm sure they will agree with that statement. He never looked or acted his age...To him, age really was just a number...

Tell them in a humorous way that they are annoying you!!

Every couple annoy each other in some little way or another..... Whether it's leaving toothpaste all over the sink... putting an empty orange juice carton back in the fridge.... or pressing the snooze button on the alarm clock 17 times before they eventually get up. Every couple have their own quirky things that push each other's buttons and trigger those feelings of annoyance we get inside us from time to time. Every person on this earth is an individual - and when two individuals live together - their habits can annoy one another... question is... what are you going to do about it in order to keep your sanity and not upset your partner or cause an argument?!
