Kirangetting ready to go out
July 28th 2006 10:27
i know this is a dating advice column..i will do my best...
you know...if you have not been out with the particular person in question...how does one prepare for such an adventure into the unknown?
i think is starts with something about care
that is..care for yourself
settle back and wonder for a while...what makes you feel cared for?
how can you make this happen in your world before you venture into the unknown with your new date?
for some it is to buy a new outfit, a trip to the hairdresser etc...and we can all read heaps on what we can do to look good etc..but i want to write about a different sort of care. a care of the inner self
i wonder if it would be a good idea to spend some time on the early part of the day before you meet your new person, just wondering about how it is to feel cared for deep inside?
how can we care for ourselves on the inside?
maybe it is sitting quietly
maybe it is listening to favorite music
or playing the guitar
or taking a deep bath
or making something in the kitchen
or walking in the park
you can see i am refering to a deep inner care, a care of the soul!
...something we can do specifically for ourselves to reconnect with that part of ourselves that is deep and loving and completely unique.....we can care for ourselves in this way, we can do this ourselves...as a way of preparing to go out into the unknown, to meet a new person
perhaps if we care for ourselves in this little way as preparation before going out on our new date, we can be more settled, more connected, more present to who we are...and so more able to get to know the other
i wonder what would happen?
see you next time
