6 Goals For Singles to Strive For



Do single people really have goals that are different from married couples?

Certainly they do when it comes to relationships. Yet, their career goals may be similar, as are their personal and health goals.

However, because of their single status, unmarried folks have more time to focus on building a future that might indeed include not being single. Or on building a fulfilling lifestyle as a single person, whether or not they remain that way or change their status.

When I coach singles, I encourage them not to put any part of their life on hold, waiting for the day they are not single any more-if indeed that day ever comes. Since none of us is really in control of whether or not we get married, if you are single, set goals for what you want now and in the near future, being realistic about the unknown status of your relationship future.

Here are some realistic goals that make sense for happy, successful, single people to strive for……..

1. Optimum health.
If we don’t have our health, we can’t enjoy life, so I think that’s a great goal for anyone. Singles often have more time to go to the gym, work out with a trainer, or spend time with a favorite sport. They can also eat healthier since they don’t have to compromise what food comes into the house. No temptations from a spouse with a sweet tooth. Although, I do caution singles not to rely heavily on take out. Because their lives can be hectic with lots of activities filling the “single” spaces, they often resort to fast food and eating on the run. I enjoy hearing singles who tell me how much they like to experiment with new recipes and keep only healthy foods at home. If you don’t like eating alone, invite some other singles over and show off your cooking talents.

2. Healthy relationships.
Without a significant other in the picture, a lot of singles consider their other relationships less significant. But friends are there for the long run, while unfortunately some romantic relationships aren’t. Cultivating intimate friendships should not be done to take the place of a relationship with a spouse, but because they are fulfilling on their own. And ultimately the most important relationship to heal is the one with yourself. While you are single, you have time to devote to becoming your own best friend. This is critical to a healthy twosome, where you want to bring two whole people together to form a healthy union.

3. Personal growth.
In between relationships is the best time to grow. We are often licking our wounds after a break up, looking at what went wrong, what was our contribution to the end of the relationship, what could we learn so our future connections are improved. Reading books, taking seminars, and working with a coach are all going to add to your increased self confidence so you can walk into your next relationship with a greater chance for lasting success. Or you can just fully enjoy your current status as a happy, fulfilled single.

4. Ongoing education.
Being single offers such a great opportunity to go back to school, take continuing education classes, teach a class, learn an instrument, or a participate in a new sport. And don’t just take golf lessons because you want to meet guys, or ballroom dancing because you want to meet gals. Take the class because you really want to learn the new skill. And if you meet others, that’s great because you’re having fun.

5. Career advancement.
While you’re single is also a good time to move up the career ladder or take a risk and make a change. Since you’re not supporting another person (unless you have children), you can take more chances with your career. You might be thinking about a 180 degree change say from banking to teaching. Or you may be fed up with the corporate world and ready to hang out your shingle as an entrepreneur. I have a client who was so sick of being around sick people in his job as a radiologist, that he quit and bought a wine shop. Talk about a turnaround. But he’s ecstatic. And if he does get married, he’ll have more energy to share with his spouse because he’s happy and not burned out at the end of each day.

6. Financial well-being.
I’ve talked to some single women who still hold hope in the back of their mind that a man will take care of them someday. And I know some single men who spend every dollar they earn. Neither position is healthy for a single person today. Everyone needs to be responsible for their financial well-being and that means being smart about finances. Spend responsibly, save regularly, and invest wisely. That’s a simple formula for everyone’s financial health-single or married.

2 Ways To Get Your Ex Girlfriend Back



There are people, who live all their life and still can’t find their soul mate. It is tragic, really, but not as tragic as dating someone who you thought was “the one” and then lose her. If you’ve found yourself in such situation there is no sense in sitting alone at home and blaming yourself for what have happened. Your destiny and your happiness lay in your own hands. You can either make things right with your ex girlfriend or obediently accept the consequences and let her go.

A fact that you are reading this article right now shows that you prefer the first variant and that you are ready to fight for your love. So let’s get to the point! There are two ways to get your ex girlfriend back:

1. If she left you even though you’ve treated her as she was a queen, you obviously pushed her away with your overeagerness. Most women, even though like to be admired and praised, prefer strong men, who can set their foot down. I know that when you are deeply in love with your girlfriend, you want to prove your feelings to her every second. Unfortunately, even the most romantic gestures when constantly repeated lose their special meaning.

For example, if you tell your girlfriend that you love her every two minutes, she’ll be happy to hear it at first, but after some time she’ll get used to it and these words won’t make her heart sing any more. If you keep doing it too often, she might even get annoyed with you saying it. It is similar to putting sugar in your coffee. After the first spoon your coffee will taste ok, second will make it perfect, with the third spoon it will become too sweet, but forth may totally ruin it.

So if you want your ex to get interested with you again, you will have to stop being a “nice guy”. When you’ll see your ex, don’t show her, how much you suffer. Act as you’re completely ok with the breakup. Show her that you have moved on by dating other women. It will make her feel jealous and she’ll try to win you back. For example, she may call you and ask to come over to help her with something. Now, that’s where you have to be careful. You must act friendly, but not too available. If you have other plans tell her and specify the time when it’s convenient for you.

If you feel that she wouldn’t mind going on the date with you, ask her out, but take initiative in your hands. You should know exactly the place where to take her for the dinner and what to do after that.

2. If your girlfriend left you, because you didn’t treat her with respect and hurt her feelings multiple times, ignoring her or making her jealous won’t do you any good. Your best course of action would be to apologize sincerely and try to win her forgiveness by doing a grand romantic gesture that she would never think you are capable of. If you are not romantic kind of guy and you have troubles coming up with creative ideas, browse Internet for some romantic ideas.

Don’t expect the woman that you love to forgive you immediately. It is not so easy to win back your woman’s trust, when she has been hurt before. She has to be sure that things will be different and that you won’t repeat the same mistakes again. Prove to her that you deserve a second chance by being gentle, patient, understanding and caring. She needs your attention and your love! Good luck!

Pros and Cons of Online Dating



Are you considering posting an online dating profile and are you looking for some advice on whether you should or not? There are many pros cons of online dating that you should know and you need to remember that even with conventional dating there are many pros and cons. Here is what to know about online dating.

Pros

1. You can screen each potential date before ever meeting them in person. This will save you from having to spend your precious time on them and if they are not right for you, then you will know it in a hurry without ever meeting them face to face.

2. You can be talking to many potential dates at one time and narrowing the field down to a couple that are very possible for you. This is great because it gives you more options and allows you the chance to really get to know someone before you date them.

3. It is much cheaper than dating in person. You could spend hundreds each week going out on dates and dating sites are only about $20 a month. This is great because you can get to know your dates before you spend the big bucks on them.

Cons

1. You have to be careful. Never meet in person the same night you meet online. Never allow the conversation to take a sexual nature online. Never meet at a home or private place. Always take a friend if you do not feel comfortable and meet in a setting where there are other people around.

2. It can be discouraging when you run into someone who has lied to you and you find out. Some people are ashamed of themselves and will lie to you online. They actually think it will not be a big deal once you meet in person either.

How to Cast a Love Spell



Love spells can be cast for a variety of reasons, including a desire to meet your soul mate, reuniting with a former lover, or spicing a current relationship up. Love spells are very controversial, and some people even believe them to be unethical. It’s often believed that casting a love spell on a specific person would be a way of forcing your will upon him or her, going against fate, and in the long run, causing you bad karma.

Of course everyone has their own opinion on the matter, and while I do advise to use caution if you ever want to attempt a love spell, you should always follow your heart. To be honest, I have seen a lot of bad karma resulting from a specific person having a love spell cast upon him or her, but I have also seen success. We each have our own experiences with love spells that we must learn from. And while I recommend only doing general love spells for the purpose of attracting a soul mate instead of trying to make a specific person fall in love with you, if your mind is already set on the latter, then go for it. If you think that any possible consequence(s) from casting a love spell will be worth it, then nothing I can say will stop you.

So how can you do a love spell? Love spells work best when they come from the heart. But if you’re not confident with your own spellcasting abilities at this point in time, then here is a powerful love spell that you can try. You’ll need:

o One large pink candle and four mini red candles. Place the pink candle in the middle of your alter, table, or floor (just don’t knock it over!). Place the red mini candles into each corner of the room-one in each quarter.

o Light some vanilla incense and place it near a window.

o Take some rose petals and throw them all around the room.

o Dress all in white clothing.

o You’ll also need an athame or a sword (be careful with them!)

This love spell, as with all love spells, are best cast on the Friday nights of either a full moon or a new moon.

After getting everything prepared to conduct a love spell, make sure you either call on the four watchtowers or perform the LBRP. If you have no idea how to do either, then I recommend you not to cast any spell whatsoever, let alone love spells.

Once you made all of the pre-spell preparations, sit in the middle of the room in front of the pink candle. Spend a few minutes meditating. Once you begin to feel some energy surrounding you, began chanting this mantra over and over again: “I call upon the powers of love and passion, Please come from above in a timely fashion. I shall have the man/woman I desire, deliver him/her to me through earth, water, air, and fire.”

After a few minutes of chanting this, stand up and grab your sword or athame. Walk around in circles, starting from East, and then South, West, North, and back to East again. Say “I am now destroying all the blocks that separate me from him/her.” While walking, visualize all the negative energy that is separating you from him/her being destroyed by your athame/sword. After a few minutes, you may stop. Thank the spirits who have heard your plea, and then do a proper banishing. Again, if you don’t know how to do a proper banishing, it’s best that you don’t attempt to do a love spell. Leave the candles and incense burning for as long as you can (don’t burn your house down, though!)

The days and weeks after you cast the spell should be spent by you being positive and doing things that make you happy, and that will take your mind off of that person. Obsession toward a goal hinders the chances of love spells working successfully. Not only should you do things that make you happy so that your mind will be occupied, but you need to remain as positive and patient as possible. Love spells usually start happening by 3′s: 3 days, 3 weeks, or 3 months. The more positive your overall feelings are toward the outcome, the faster the love spell will work for you.
