Time Out for the Most Important Relationship in Your Life!!!

Notice how life happens in waves? Relationships, dating, everything included. Periods of insanity where you would give the world for a moment just to catch up with your thoughts, then periods where you'd give anything to get away from your thoughts. LOL Such is life...

Lately I've been grateful that work since returning from a trip out West has kept me on my toes running from the moment my flight touched back down in Ontario. In my journey I've become increasingly aware when I'm falling into a pattern. After the whole friends with benefits proposition last week, it was evidently time for a Time Out!!!

So here it is... what do you do to step back, escape the moment, hear your thoughts, and let them go. For me, that release has been cycling. A chance to get out on the open road, wind in my ears, burn in my legs, kept company by some great tunes... this is my escape. Time for me. Something I do to put the rest of the world on hold... Facebook, Instant Messaging, Email, Phone Calls, all of it can wait. Too often I wonder if in the search for love/companionship we are all too willing to ignore our own needs, sacrifice the necessary time we need for ourselves and one of the single most important relationships in our lives - the one with ourselves.

I came across a beautiful posting a friend shared on Facebook today, and can't help but share it with you. I hope you are have your own time alotted to building your relationship with you:

A new energy relationship is to learn to have a relationship with yourself first... before a loving, sharing balanced and harmonious relationship can be experienced with another. It is a sovereign relationship with self, with all facets of self. The relationship with your partner is just a mirror of the type of relationship you are having with yourself. A relationship with self is to bring the out...side issues to the inside - looking within instead of focusing on your partner- to seek out the missing link to fill the empty gap within yourself first. A loving new energy relationship with another is to be able to open the door of self-discovery without fear of any destructive abuse, limitation or disempowerment. It is to be with your partner, to enjoy their company, for you do not need anything from them, you do not need to take their energy by feeding off them, you do not need to take or share their money or material possessions, and they do not have to do something in return for you to love them and for them to love you. They do not need to feed off you or enslave your energy. It is to enjoy the relationship with them without placing each others fears, baggage, burdens, agendas and attachments upon each other. ~ Pamela Belle Skus ♥!
