What Changes Do You Most Want To See?
Usually, those people that are motivated to re-marry do so within 2-5 years of their divorce, but alas not all of us feel the need to tie the knot so quickly after being burned-- especially, when your vision of a life happily ever after goes up in flames. It's okay to take your time and mend your broken heart before you go in search of love again. And while you are at it, here are some changes you may want to consider: 1. Physical Health- How comfortable are you with your own body? If you want to lose weight or tone your muscles, change your workout or maybe even get some medical intervention to fix things you don't like about yourself, go do it! Focus on yourself for a bit, and don't feel guilty about it. The great thing about setting physical goals is that within a short period of time you can really start to see results, and this will boost your spirits greatly. The undisputed fact is the more positive your energy is, the faster you will recover from whatever heart break or disappointment comes your way. 2. Intellectual Stimulation- Are you bored at work or at home? Having a great mind is a gift you should not squander. We all suffer lulls either at home or at [...]
What Do You Like Most About Being Single?
After a decade of being single, I've been reflecting a lot on what I have enjoyed most about being on my own the last 10 years, and here is what I have so far: 1. You wake up and go to sleep when you want to, without anyone else disturbing you; 2. You eat what you want, when you want; 3. You spend what you want on whatever you want; 4. You make your own plans on your free-time; 5. You can be as neat or as messy as you want to be at home; 6. You never wake up surprised that your favorite snack/drink is gone from the fridge; 7. You can plan whatever trips you like without the need to compromise; and 8. There are no arguments at the end of the day-- just peace and quiet. Now while all of this may resonate with many and sound great, let's be realistic-- there is a reason why about 80% of Americans get married, and I highly doubt the motivating factor for most is to have kids or gain financial security. The truth is that life can be much sweeter when you have someone special by your side. If I am completely honest with myself and all of you, for the past decade, that special person has been my [...]
What Skeletons Are In Your Closet?
In light of the whole Ashley Madison scandal, I am sure millions out there are now counting the days until their secret is revealed, especially those that used their government or military emails that now risk severe consequences not just personally, but professionally. And then at the other extreme we can all picture a whole other camp of individuals relishing in the fact that these people that broke their sacred marital vows are now being exposed, in fact almost branded with a virtual scarlet letter. Where you fall on this hotly debated topic depends a lot on how honest you are with yourself about the skeletons you have in your own closet. No one is perfect, and since none of us are currently sitting in the position of ultimate judge or jury on any of the cases that may result from this unfortunate breach of online information, let's just take a moment to think about the current turn of events. Over the last 10 years, modern technology has completely changed our lives. The search for anything, including a sexual partner, is now possible with just a few swipes or keystrokes from the comfort and privacy of your own home. And yet, everything is now captured digitally, and just about everyone around you now has a camera and immediate access to [...]
