You! The most important relationship of all

Often our deepest wishes are for us to find happiness with another person be it our Prince Charming or a family member; to distill our loneliness and have someone to share our experiences with.

I am especially lucky that I have found someone with whom we can both grow, seek adventures together and have a beautiful family to cherish. But I know a lot of people who have never experienced this or have lost their love forever.

It is totally natural to try and seek true love or another love to displace the feeling of being lost; after all life is love but the biggest effort and challenge is facing ourselves and learning to truly love yourself!

The quickest way to figure out who you are and what you truly want is by starting to spend time with yourself and learning to dream again. Life certainly changes who we are and it is important to reconnect with our desires. I am a great believer in always having dreams; from the small to the ridiculously big as living without dreams is a life half lived.

The self power we create when we realise those dreams is magnificent, self worth and belief begins to grow and yup you’ve guessed it you are falling in love with yourself again!

The key to finding out more about yourself is learning to relax alone; to strengthen the mind so that it can detach itself from the daily worries and fears long enough to think about you. This may be with a cup of tea or coffee everyday in quiet; a long walk at the weekend; listening to your favorite music; yoga; writing in a journal; a bike ride; creating a piece of art. It  needs to be regular and you need to be alone. It is far too easy to get stuck in a rut and become bored with the tedium of life, work and bills on repeat. By regularly tapping into yourself and nurturing the true you; your self love will grow enormously. As if by magic all your relationships will flourish because you have given yourself time and space; and your dreams will really come true.
