We Get What We Give


As with anything in life, when it comes to attracting the love of your life it is important to remember that we get what we give. Specifically covered in this article are all the ways in which we take care of ourselves as it pertains to this subject.
If we do not properly take care of ourselves, we are essentially showing our body, mind and spirit that we do not truly love ourselves. When we don't eat right, we may justify it by the fact that contemporary life means having a never-ending 'to-do' list. It has become so much easier to just grab a bite from the nearest fast food restaurant than to make a healthy home-cooked meal, that we often put blinders on in favor of convenience over long-term health.
Having a regular form of exercise to stretch and strengthen our muscles and to provide heart healthy aerobic stimulation tends to get short-changed as well and ends up as a low priority on our 'to do' list, if it is even there at all.
In our hurry up and get as much done as we can world, we tend to push ourselves and in so doing don't get enough restful sleep. If this tends to be a problem, we can forget about taking time to relax at least once a week to recharge our batteries and just take it easy if only for an afternoon. And what about taking regular vacations? It may seem like a great idea, but many find it practically impossible to actually take the time and go somewhere.
Then, there are the more subtle, yet even more powerful ways that we can pamper ourselves that some never even allow themselves to experience. Things like getting a massage, facial, pedicure, manicure or anything else that makes you feel good and lets your earthly troubles seem like a distant memory for a short time are extremely effective methods of self-pampering. And, we all need a little self-pampering before others will feel free to pamper us. This goes for all you macho guys out there too.
If we aren't taking specific steps to take care of ourselves regularly, we are cheating ourselves out of not only our health in the long run, but we are also blocking the way to receiving love from another. A troubling thing is that some of us may already know all of this stuff, yet we still find excuse after excuse to allow ourselves to procrastinate these very important aspects to showing love to ourselves. This comes right down to your subconscious conditioning and needs to be addressed. If we have a belief somewhere within ourselves that we are not worthy or not important, it may manifest itself in the form of not taking as much care of ourselves as we are actually capable.
Stop putting off until tomorrow or until next week the proper care that you should give to yourself without a second thought. Right now is the time to take action. Pamper yourself and treat your body like a temple in all that you do so that the love of your life can come along and treat you the same way. It is truly only when we love and accept ourselves completely that we are free to receive complete love and acceptance from another.
