Note from Crista

Hi,

This week I had the privilege of having tea with relationship expert and "Man Whisperer," Gigi Sage. She is the author of Hello Tarzan and creator of numerous workshops on relationships and understanding men.

As I got to pick her brain about men, I realized that one of her main messages to women is not even about men at all. It’s about treating yourself like a princess. She said that if you don’t take the time to take care of yourself, then you will end up becoming resentful and that will negatively affect your romantic relationship and your vitality.

Gigi recommends scheduling your "princess time" or else it probably won’t happen. So take a minute to put some time to love yourself into your calendar. Maybe a massage or a walk in nature? By taking this time to nurture yourself, you will in turn bring aliveness and vitality to your relationship with your boyfriend.

To your love,
Crista

How to Love Yourself in 3 Steps

By Carolin Dahlman

You are wonderful - are you aware of that? Every person on this earth is complete, perfect and worthy the best. Still, so many can´t feel it. They think their arms are too fluffy and their laughter too ugly. They complain about their thin hair or their lack of knowledge on current affairs. In fact, lots of people think more about their faults than their strengths.

You can do different. If you really want to love yourself, you need to re-think and make your mind wander in the right direction. When you do, you pull out a red carpet towards success in life. Everyone knows that when we love ourselves, we are able to love other people too. So how to make it happen?

1. Write a list of 30 things you like about yourself, or that others like about you. You have people around you who choose to be with you, so there is for sure something about you that is alluring. If you can, write the list with a tight deadline, like in 5 minutes, so you need to bring out your inner wisdom and don´t have time to think too much.

2. Find a peaceful place where you regularly can go and find inner guidance, away from stress and other people´s needs and opinions. Seek a place where you reconnect with your inner deep needs and wants in life.

3. Stop trying to "look good". Most of us do things just to avoid looking silly or bad in front of others. We dress in a certain way, because we care about what people think - many even pick a partner that is ok according to society, rather than a person they truly connect with. Question your choices in life and how they are controlled by your need of "looking good".

The more you know about yourself, the stronger you get. When you are aware of why you act and think as you do, you get the power to do different. When you understand yourself you can accept yourself - and love yourself.
