Valentine's Day makes those of us who are single wistful for someone to share the day with, someone to be loved by, someone to share our lives with. We wish we had someone to send us a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, a fabulous piece of jewelry or have a romantic dinner with.
If we are alone for Valentine's Day, we feel depressed, unloved and unwanted. Our society has taught us to look outside of ourselves for love and approval when it is more important that we find those things within us. If we do not love and approve of ourselves, we will be unable to feel loved and approved of by others. If we do not love and approve of ourselves, we will feel just as lonely and unloved with a mate sitting right beside us. We cannot have an experience in our outer world until it first exists in our inner world.
Pay attention to how you treat yourself. Do you treat yourself in loving and supportive ways? Do you put yourself down with your inner dialogue or build yourself up? Do you pamper yourself and spend time doing nice things for yourself?
Usually, we look in the mirror and tell ourselves that we are fat, ugly, balding, etc. When we make a mistake, we tell ourselves how stupid we are. We feel inferior to other people. We never seem to have the one thing that will make us happy. We feel that a mate will fix all of these things, but it won't. Only we can fix those things for ourselves.
The only person we can count on to be in our lives from the day we are born until the day we die is ourselves. But instead of treating ourselves in loving, supportive ways and developing a relationship with ourselves, we do everything possible not to spend time with ourselves.
What would you like your Dream Valentine to do for you? If you are alone this Valentine's Day, do this thing for yourself. Send yourself a gorgeous bouquet of roses, buy yourself that fabulous piece of jewelry, take yourself out for a romantic dinner. Do all of the things for yourself that you would like a mate to do for you.
Take time to get to know yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and see yourself as the beautiful spirit that you are manifested in the body that is you. Forgive yourself for the mistakes that you make and honor them for the wonderful learning experience that they are. Be gentle with yourself and listen to the needs of your body. Love and pamper yourself. Treat yourself in the most gentle and loving way possible.
Once you have developed a loving relationship with yourself, then you will be ready to manifest a loving relationship with the mate of your dreams. To manifest a mate in your life, make a list of the qualities you are looking for in a mate. Make sure you include gentle - you don't want an abuser; sober - you don't want a drug addict or alcoholic; healthy; able to commit, etc. Be specific because you will get exactly what you ask for. Cover everything that is important to you, but don't be so specific that you pass Mr./Ms. Wonderful by. You may want someone with blue eyes, but what if Mr./Ms. Wonderful has brown eyes, or is
blind? Be very specific about what is REALLY important to you. Once you have the list, ask your Angels to bring that person to you. You can also burn pink candles to bring you love which may help to bring this person in to you quicker.
While you are waiting for Mr./Ms. Wonderful to manifest, enjoy spending time with the most important person in your life and Be Your Valentine!
Happy Valentine's Day!
