#AlltheSingleLadies | Don't Block the Flow Series, Settling for Less

You see it everywhere – women who settle or say yes to relationships that don’t really work for them because they are essentially convinced they cannot really be treated like the goddesses they are.  You have to realize that until you love yourself, you can't obtain the kind of love you want.

#AlltheSingleLadies | Making the Most of the Season

If you're dreading the holiday season, there are a few things that you can do to make them a little easier. 

Feeling good can do wonders for your self esteem. Buy yourself a new outfit that makes YOU feel good when you wear it.

Get a new hairdo and/or a manicure right before the party date. The natural high from getting something done and looking good will help your party spirit. Just don't go overboard.

Remember, you only live once and life is what you make of it, even at times it may be hard to keep a smile on your face.

#AlltheSingleLadies | Don't Block the Flow Series, Don't Self-Destruct!

Sure indications of blocks in the area of personal and/or spiritual growth are ignoring your intuition or hunches and/or continuation of self-destructive behaviors even when the negative results in your life are very obvious. You must tackle what is necessary to heal the self-esteem issues that harbor such behaviors.

#AlltheSingleLadies | Don't Block the Flow Series, Fun and Recreation

Are you someone who works all the time?  With excellent self-esteem and self-love, who would work so much doing a job she hated?  Do you work or play too much? It is probable that if you do, you are dealing with some sort of block to your own happiness and fulfillment.

#AlltheSingleLadies | Don't Block the Flow Series, Clutter

Clutter is an example of a block. I’m not saying if you don’t put everything away every time you use it, you are blocked and living in clutter. You aren’t bad or wrong. What I am saying is that if your piles have piles, you can’t remember the last time you saw your appointment book or your telephone bill, you are living with clutter – a physical manifestation of a block.

Make Your Life Anything You Want it to Be #AlltheSingleLadies

This is ultimately the biggest advantage to being a single woman. You have the unique opportunity to mold and shape your life and pursue your dreams.

There are no reasons to settle for second-best and no one else is depending on the choices that you make. Even if your ultimate goal is to marry and settle down, you might as well get your own life in place first.

So go for the brass ring and shoot for the stars. Create the life that you want for yourself and then, if you want one, find a partner who will fit into that life.

Prioritizing the Qualities #AlltheSingleLadies

Too often, women are distracted by their current partners and have little time to consider qualities they want in an ideal partner. Use this time for self-reflection. Consider your past relationships: Why didn't they work out, and what was lacking? More important, reflect on yourself. What are your strengths? What kind of partner do you need to match your temperament? What are your passions? Do you need someone who shares these passions? These reflections will prevent you from making the wrong decisions once you start dating.
