DAY ONE:

It all begins with YOU...It's strange, but true.  You cannot give love if you aren't in a good place yourself. So day one is a perfect time to assess where you are and how you are feeling. It can't be too bad because you already have a fundamental ingredient, desire. If you didn't want to be more romantic, you wouldn't be reading this. Unfortunately, desire alone is not enough. I could desire a million dollars, but without an outward action that desire wouldn't carry me very far toward my goal.

 

In my book THE EVERYDAY ROMANTIC I devote an entire chapter to preparing yourself to avoid what's called Romance Bounce-Off...it's a condition most of us have but few could name.

 

We've all fallen victim to a hard day at work, a stressful schedule or an afternoon of screaming children...none of these things are conducive to a romantic evening. If we are frazzled we can neither be romantic or receive romance.  If you think on it a few minutes I'm sure that you can come up with a few times recently when your significant other has tried to kiss you or hug you and you've been busy or "not in the mood". 

 

This has little to do with them and everything to do with you. We have to take care of ourselves and be both physically and mentally in the right place to take advantage of those rare opportunities.

 

Your assignment today is to make a short list of the things that stress you and then out beside them write what would help you feel better about those items. This doesn't mean you take care of the situation or item completely, but many times you can just acknowledge them and feel better knowing you've given the item some thought and can indeed handle it.

 

 

Check back tomorrow we've got thirty days of fantastic ideas to help you become a more romantic you.

 

May all your days and nights be filled with romance!
