Make a Date with Yourself

5/4/2013

Nourishing a relationship takes time and commitment, patience, words of affirmation, affection and love.  Do you give yourself all of these things?

Something I love about yoga is it's ability to present new challenges, class after class.  I am sure the same can be found in other forms of exercise.  But, for me, the challenge of literally taking my body into new shapes and stretching my mind to believe I can is so beneficial. Each class teaches me something new about myself. I leave feeling interested in myself and eager for a second date. I now look at my time on the mat as a date with myself. Sure, there's planning and preparation that goes into it - just like any other appointment.  It is just as important to remain accountable to yourself, as it is with other person with whom you've set a date.

Next time you feel like breaking a date with yourself, pretend you were delivering this news to another person.  Would you be as quick to cancel?  If you absolutely had to cancel, would you schedule a make-up time?  If you had a date with "the one" you likely would do what it takes to see them, would you? After all, this is a person you might spend the rest of your life with!  Newsflash: you are already spending the rest of your life with you!

Start falling in love. Be the one for yourself.  Nourish your relationship with you.
