Anthony Robbins brilliantly states;
"Do what you did in the beginning of a relationship and it will never end"
Wayne Dyer brilliantly states:
"Hold hands not grudges"
I remember saying to Greg, early on in our relationship "we'll be together forever if we continue with the same enthusiasm, effort, devotion and love we expressed in the beginning". A beautiful sentiment I like to call effortless effort. The effort you make that doesn't seem like an effort at all. Because; you want to, you choose to - consciously, with a smile. Taking care of yourself, being the best you can be and taking care of each other. To nurture, grow and enhance what's already there.
A while back I read a comment by Dr Phil, he said each morning when he wakes up, he thinks to himself (about his wife) "what can I do to make your day better?" A thought I have since happily taken on board. And I can't help imagine - what if everybody did that?
Many years ago I put together a list and labelled it 'Memorable Moments'. It was a kind of to-do and re-do list, to keep things fresh, varied and fun. In many books it's 'Quality Time' - either way it's something we can do - should do, to keep the spark alive.
You can schedule in a regular time - a date night even - or be spontaneous! Plan something from 'sweet & simple' to 'extravagant'. You can both plan it together or take turns to surprise the other.
Give 100% of yourself, your time, your energy to the one you love, in that moment.
Below is a fun list of some wonderful ideas, memorable moments!
If you can think of something you would like to share, any idea you have or a moment you've enjoyed I welcome you to click on this link - and I will happily add it to the list.
