If you feel a void in your love life, you may find a way to fulfill it when you heed the savvy relationship advice that Socrates shared over 2400 years ago: "Beware the barrenness of a busy life."
Are you too busy to form an intimate relationship or to nourish the love in your existing relationship?
If so, you're not alone. Eight million of us hold down two or more jobs. Working moms spend two or more hours after each workday caring for their children and the home. No wonder so many of us feel over-worked and under-loved. Who has spare time to create or improve your love life?
You will -- as soon as you start making different choices that produce different results. You can add more love to your love life when you make two adjustments in your mental outlook and daily action plan.
1. Focus on the positives
Throughout your day, you may need to flip your thought switch from stress and dis-ease to blessings and love. Think of what you "get" to do each day versus what you must do. See your obligations as opportunities. You may not love all you do, but you can do it with love.
This shift in your outlook takes weight off your shoulders and prevents you from feeling overwhelmed. You're in the right mindset to make your next adjustment.
2. Find a balance in your priorities
Take a quiet moment to notice how you spend your 24 hours in each day. Are you diligently focused on meeting duties and deadlines so that you are neglecting your personal relationships? Do you fill your quiet hours with intense activities or mindless entertainment so that you don't notice an empty void in your life? Are you tired of feeling pulled in too many different directions and eager to change this?
It's time to let go of things that aren't meaningful or important to you. How?
List your essential duties in each day in your work life and personal life.
List what you find most rewarding for you and your loved ones.
List what is most beneficial to your health and well being, including play time.
How can you let go of anything else that drains your time and focus?
How can you say NO to barren busy-ness and YES to a well-nourished love life?
