4 Ways to Show Your Children You Love Them
March 3, 2008
Children can be wild and rambunctious at times, but they still need to know that Mom and Dad love them all the same. How often do you tell your children you love them? How often do you do little things to show them they are loved? Here are some simple tips you can use:
1. Write a love note. Kids love mail. A simple, quick and easy way to show your child you love her is to write her a love note. A message as simple as “I love you!” or “Hope you have a wonderful day at school today!” is enough to make your child feel loved by you.
2. Play a fun board game together. Most children also enjoy playing board games. This is a really terrific way to bond and connect with your child. Making it a family affair can truly bring the entire family unit together as a team and create a deeper connection and sense of love in your children.
3. Ask about their day. Kids love to talk to their parents about their day. When school is in session, they love sharing what they learned. As your children grow older into pre-teens and teens, encourage them to share without being overly adamant about it. Just knowing that you are there to listen often means more than them saying anything to you.
4. Say THANK YOU. Kids are often taken by surprise when a parent says, “Thank you” for a job well-done. Surprise your child by doing so when he/she does something great. You’ll be surprised at how far a simple word of thanks will go.
Find Your Perfect Mate with the Law of Attraction
February 25, 2008
The law of attraction is simple. It states that whatever you focus your thoughts and attention on is what you will attract into your life. But can the law of attraction be used to find your perfect mate? Yes, I believe it can, and I have a story to share with you about how this happened for a friend of mine. I’ll call her Janie…
Janie was involved in an unhealthy relationship. It was an on again, off again kind of relationship. And it seemed to everyone (except Janie) that this relationship was not healthy for her.
Janie claimed that she loved this guy. She enjoyed spending time with his family and she truly thought that he was “the one” for her. However, as time passed by, it became clearly evident that this guy was not committed to this relationship as Janie was.
Arguments would ensue and upon the final break-up, Janie became emotionally distraught. She couldn’t eat. She couldn’t sleep. She clearly missed having this person in her life, even though he was not devoted to her.
I gave Janie a journal and told her that this was not just an ordinary journal. This was a special journal, in which she’d write about all the things she wanted in a man and in a relationship. I encouraged her to put all her feelings on paper and really get it out there—what she wanted.
Janie contacted me later to tell me about some of the things she’d written in her journal. She told me about how it had helped her overcome the loss of her relationship.
Here’s the interesting thing…now, years later, Janie is married to the man of her dreams and they are awaiting the birth of their first child. By using something as simple as journaling her greatest desires in a relationship, Janie subconsciously created a path to marriage and a family.
Decide what you want. Focus only on that. Then go for it.
Love – Forgiveness Is True Love
June 10, 2007
Most of the lovers do not forgive their loved ones. They may forgive their sworn enemy, but they may not forgive their lover. Do you agree with me? Why is this so? It should have been exactly reverse. Why, let us discuss.
What is love? What do we understand by loving someone? How is love different than other relationships and emotions? In love, we give our whole mind and heart to our beloved. We try to keep our beloved most comfortable. We take care not to hurt our darling. In love, we care for each other. We are in the mood of giving in love. Giving always gives more pleasure in love than anything else.
If our darling makes a mistake, shall we berate them? Shall we blame them and give them pain? Shall we hold it against them forever? Shall we call them betrayer? If we do all this then it is not love, but a business relationship. I have given you so much now you give your truth, faithfulness and everything else in return.
In love, we have to forgive. We have to pacify our beloved that mistakes are a way of life and everybody does them. We have to tell them not to worry and we are with them. We have to tell them to stop thinking of what happened and think of good things and try to live life joyously. But a majority of us behaves in reverse. That is our failure. It was never love to begin with. If you believe that you love your darling, please learn forgiving.
