Hi,

I am back from the Palm Desert JW Marriott where I spent days relaxing, sunning, dining, exercising, getting massage and spending some quality time with my darling for Valentine’s Day and President's Day weekend. I definitely needed the time off to find myself again and relax. The JW is a beautiful resort where I am planning on having my first live event this fall, stay tuned for upcoming details.

Now that I am back I have been thinking a lot about how we all run ourselves ragged trying to do everything for everybody and do everything for our businesses and we forget to treat ourselves well, or to even have a relationship with ourselves at all... and then we wonder why we are not fully happy!!! I have learned to slow down, let some less important things go and work at a pace I can handle, rather than having to keep up with everyone else. Can you relate to this?

Are you a person that constantly goes, goes, goes and has a hard time stopping to notice your personal needs, or to listen to your inner voice? Well today’s featured article is here for you- “How To Have a Relationship with Yourself part 1: the first steps to greater success and happiness, read on...

“HOW TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF
(Part 1): the First Steps to Greater Success & Happiness”

By Dr. Cindy Brown, “The Relationship Strategist”

Today we are all trying to do so much to spread our message, share our passion and gifts with the world, get ahead, stay afloat, make ends meet and just have the lifestyle we want, that we often sacrifice our own well being, health, relationships, success and our lives for this material, business and financial success.

The key here is to learn how to balance it all and still be successful. I know it’s easy for me to say, however it may be a challenge for some of you to change your set ways and patterns and adopt, try on and implement some different strategies and daily rituals in order for you to have different results.

If you are ready and willing to learn some simple new ways of running your business and life you may change your life for the better as I have. Are you ready? Ok let’s learn the first important steps to having a relationship with yourself.

STEP 1: KNOW THYSELF- Spend time each day getting to know who you are; Look in the mirror without negative feedback, instead be in awe, fall in love with yourself force yourself to have only good thoughts and feelings then only focus on the good feelings, and/or sit in silence; listen to your inner voice. I teach a method to my coaching clients called EMT- Emotional Management Technique™, that helps you get to know and understand and manage your inner committee. To find out more about this you can purchase my new book, or buy my Relationships Secrets Product or schedule a coaching session. Being aware of who you are inside helps you to negotiate your thoughts, emotions and reactions. When you understand and can manage yourself from the inside-out, you can interact more successfully with others and have a better life!

STEP 2: KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO FUNCTION OPTIMALLY! When you are in-tune and in-touch with your personal needs you can actively attend to them and then function better. Some of the most important needs we have are nutrition & fluid intake, sleep, zone time, exercise & movement, social/relationship, passion, career, self expression time and personal/spiritual time. Knowing yourself inside and out helps you function better. I know that I need cycles of sleep 3, 6 or 9hrs, I need to eat every 2-3 hours and drink 1 cup a water an hour. Begin to become more aware of your personal needs by slowing down and leaving space to listen, be and understand what you are needing on a minute by minute basis and then tryout, implement these strategies (put yourself first) and practices and see the results.

STEP 3: PLANNING- Successful people plan out everything. Unsuccessful people wing it, or go from one activity to the next and hope other things will get handled or done and then time runs out and your needs get neglected. I plan my workouts, errands, calls, shopping time, girl time, relationship time, sex time, beach time, meals and my nap time etc. Everything, even spontaneous time has a time slot. Try for one week planning everything! Then write me an email and tell me what your results were. 

These are just 3 simple beginning ways you can start to have a better relationship with yourself. Next issue we will continue this dialog and I will reveal to you the next steps. If you want a complete 7 Step personal growth process to get you ready for a romantic relationship, OR improve the one you are already in go to www.TheCinderellaSystem.com and purchase my Cinderella System.

Remember: In order to be the person you have never been, In order to have the life and relationships you have never had, You must do what you have never done before: Give me a call or contact me so I can support you in having the bestlife you've ever had!

RELATIONSHIP TIP OF THE MONTH:

Since we find that Men are mostly single focused and need transition time to switch focus from one task (project, person) to another; A good practice to have when you want your partner to focus on you is to ask him first “is this an Ok time to interrupt you?” Then wait for his response before talking or finding out when it will be a better time. Pausing will give him time to transition and give you his full focus. This practice will cause less communication issues and conflict, AND you will get better attention and respect.  More on this next issue.

Dr. Brown will answer your questions here each month. Please send your questions to info@drcindybrownintl.com

Get Your Book Done!

Have you been thinking about writing your own book?

I had been thinking about it too… for years!  But, last year I quickly and easily got my book (The Cinderella System™) written and published and started reaping the reward of being a published author immediately.  And, now you can too!
 
My friend (and publisher) Christine Kloser is hosting a F-R-E-E telelcass this Wednesday, February 27 on the topic of:  How to Quickly and Easily Transform your Business (and your life) by Becoming a Published Author.  During this call she’ll be featuring me, along with two other newly published authors, to tell you exactly how we’ve transformed our businesses by getting our book done, and how easy it can be for you, too.
