Relationships

Best Friends

Wherever you go, there you are! It’s true. There is only one person in this world that is with you every step of the way. They were there at the beginning and they’ll be there at the end. That person is YOU.

And this brings me to what I want to talk about and think about today. Being your own best friend. Being my own best friend. What does that look like?

For me, it looks like this:

I’m actually a good friend to have. I’m loyal. I’m interesting. I have ideas about just about everything under the sun. And if I don’t have to do the driving, I’m up for lots of cool stuff to explore and go do. I’m also pretty good about accepting my friends for who and how they are, not being the least bit interested in changing them into someone or something else.

I do, however, expect to be kept in the loop because my primary love language is “spending quality time” and if you don’t want to spend time with me, I’m likely to drift away.

I’m also very intense and tend to be self absorbed, plus I need plenty of alone time. I probably won’t invite you over to my house very often. And I’m sure that I can be really hard to deal with plenty of times, especially when I’m being stubborn about weird shit.

Which leads me to question if I actually am a good friend to me. And if I am, how can I be a better friend? What would I want from myself if I was my friend…. if there were two of me and we were friends… what would I be wanting more of? What would I want less of?

What about you? What kind of a friend are you? Are you your own best friend? And if you are friends with yourself how could you improve your relationship? And if you are not your own best friend, what can you do to change that? How could you go about cultivating that relationship?

Unplug and Unwind

So this is the last simple thing that I have rewritten. It’s the one I have had the most issues with, and it’s also really quite long and not actually simple at all. This is what the original said, ” Before you fall asleep, visualize chords connecting you to everybody you met that day, and send their energy back to them.”

I pulled out my trusty Synonym Finder, a giant book that I love to just read sometimes… LOL… I love words. More on that in a day or two. Anyway, it turned into a long and involved, once again complicated and convoluted thing. Here’s what I came up with:

In advance of descending into slumber,
Envision the bonds
Tying you to those encountered during the day,
And then disconnect, release,
And return their influence.

But it occurred to me that we might not want to disconnect our bonds with those we live with, those we love, those who support us and help us, those we help and support… And maybe that’s why I have so much trouble with this one.

With that in mind, I came up with:

Before you hit the sack, unplug, unwind, and let all that shit go.

I like it. You know what shit you need to let go of. So, just let it go.

Asleep On The Job

The fifth of our Five Simple Things is the following: “Before you fall asleep, visualize chords connecting you to everybody you met that day, and send their Energy back to them.” I have been able to remember this one exactly ONE time in the last 15 days. Just ONE time!

And, interestingly, I am totally blocked when it comes to making a bunch of different stickers. My biggest problem with stickers for the other four was making myself stop. I made way too many. This time around I made exactly two. Yes, two.  Not 5, not 10, not 20… I only made two. Here’s the other one:

So, what the heck? The idea is an excellent one. I love the concept. Why can’t I remember to do it? Anyone else having similar problems? Any ideas? Suggestions? Insights?

Letting Go

“Before you fall asleep,
visualize chords connecting you to everybody you met that day,
and send their Energy back to them.”

What a great idea! And no matter how hard I try, I cannot remember to do this. I am now contemplating hanging a note from the ceiling over my bed. Part of the problem is that I have a bad habit of falling asleep on the couch and then stumbling off to bed at some point late into the night.

One idea I had was to visualize and disconnect those chords whenever I get home from work, or the store, or wherever I may have gone during the day. As I get out of the car, do the disconnect. I could leave myself a note in my car, which would help me to remember. The drawback to this is that I don’t go very many places these days.

Alternatively, I could post a note on my front door, and do the disconnect before I go into the house. This would prevent me taking “stuff” home with me. But again, these days I’m not leaving home very often.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for how to make this a regular practice, I’m definitely interested.

Removing Hazards to Relationships

Today we are removing hazardous elements from the Relationships and Love area of our homes:

Get rid of pictures of ex-lovers, icebergs, anything depressing or violent. Also cactus, Venus flytraps, stinkweed, and weapons will not enhance this area and must go!

(I guess this means that I have to take this picture down? Even though it does tend to sum up some of my relationship issues?)

The air conditioner and refrigerator, if located here, will chill out your love life instead of heating it up, so you will want to make certain to use enhancements and cures in this area.

Get rid of “singles” items – bring in a guest pillow, get rid of pictures of you all alone. Don’t bring games into this area – you don’t want game-playing in your relationship.

This area is not for storage, unless you want a relationship with a lot of baggage.

If the television is here, it may be a distraction that comes between you and your partner. If your ex’s stuff is still here, it will keep you hanging on to the past.

If you must keep these items here, drape them in a fabric that will enhance this area, such as pink or red.

Spread The Love

There is nothing worse than being a “fifth wheel” at a party or get together – so look for items that you have too many of, or that don’t quite fit in. Things you like but never use. That Christmas gift that didn’t quite hit the mark, those cute little doodads that well meaning friends gave you for Christmas, or birthday.

And what about the “extras”? Do you keep an extra this or an extra that just in case? Isn’t that a little bit like keeping your little black book of phone numbers just in case your current relationship doesn’t work out?

Maybe you have a nice little collection of elephants, or dogs, or salt and pepper shakers and you haven’t added to it in years. Isn’t it time to let that collection go to someone who might really enjoy it?

Don’t take too much time with this, just do a quick survey and grab those items up.

Relationships are about giving as well as receiving, so while you are at it, get out that extra roll of wrapping paper, some scotch tape, and a ribbon or two if you have one. Lovingly wrap each item up as a gift. Think of someone who just might like it, and give it to them.

Alternatively, you could box the items up and take them to a battered woman’s shelter.

Remember, we aren’t talking about “junk” items now. We are talking about the “nice” things you have but don’t really love, the useful things you own but don’t ever use, the “pretty” little decorative items that don’t really fit your decor. They deserve something better. And so do you.

Colorize your Love Life

Walk over to your Relationships corner. How does it feel? Focus your energy on this very special corner, carefully decorate it, and think loving thoughts. Then loving things will happen naturally in your life.

Don’t overdo it though – too many lovers and too much love, too many emotions, can bring on a whole new set of problems. So go slowly and carefully here.

Pink is a great color here. Pink feels like love.

Anything red works here too. Red energizes and adds excitement to this area. Red hearts, a jar of maraschino cherries, a can of tomato soup, a red silk scarf, a red notebook, and red-hot chili peppers will work.

You can use red or pink construction paper, string, or ribbons and hide them out of sight. Tape them under furniture or under shelves. Line drawers with red or pink shelf paper. You don’t need to go overboard and paint a whole room red. Red or pink pillows, slippers, lacy undergarments work great in this area.

Symbols of love


Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol

Mirrors work great here to keep the love energy moving, and they draw in light and energy. Round mirrors work great. Candles generate heat and energy – they can heat up your love life! Fresh flowers that you find beautiful and fragrant are perfect for this area – even mistletoe. Sensual music can be played here.

Any symbols that mean LOVE to you – a bottle of champagne and two glasses; Barbie and Ken in formal bridal wear; animal-print material; a bowl of Hershey’s kisses; two of anything – statues, lovebirds, pillows, lights.

Lovingly moving your stuff in this area can enhance your life by helping you to:

  • Find “the one”
  • Make a commitment without fear
  • Get married
  • Put the sizzle back into a relationship
  • Get along better with family, friends and coworkers
  • Learn to trust people again

This area is not just about love relationships, but about improving ALL the relationships in your life, including your boss, coworkers, extended family members, etc.
