Internet Love Stories

By Candace Czarny

The odds are good that you have seen those people who seem to
magically draw people to them. They always seem to have a date
or someone who wants to date them. You’re not alone. Many
people feel like everyone else is more successful in love than
they are. It has less to do with physical appearance, your
bank account, and being outgoing than you would think. It’s
often more about using the positive energy in your life to
fulfill every aspect of your life including the romantic
element.

You are probably wondering what all of this energy talk is all
about. You have heard of the ancient Chinese philosophy of
Feng Shui. It revolves around the concept of creating a space,
your home, that encourages the flow of positive chi. It affects
every aspect of your life in a good way if done correctly.
This isn’t to say that every person with a successful love life
uses Feng Shui, but it certainly won’t hurt to encourage some
good vibes to come your way in the love department. After all,
we all want to become a magnet for love.

So how does one go about using Feng Shui to become a love
magnet? The first step is pretty unexciting, but it does get
better. You will need to focus on the bedroom since you are
looking for romantic love. Cleaning the room from top to
bottom is an essential step that can’t be overlooked. Just
because no one gets into your closet or looks under the bed
doesn’t mean you can ignore those areas. They are important
too. Get rid of things you no longer use or need. They create
a hindrance to the flow of good energy. While you are clearing
things out that you don’t need, this is also a good time to get
rid of any reminders of old flames. You don’t want that past
energy infecting any future or current relationship. If you
don’t want to throw them out at least get them out of the
bedroom. Make space for your new love interest in the closet,
leaving some hangers empty and clear out a drawer of the
dresser. This will encourage the arrival of someone new.

Now that all of the things left behind from your old love life
is out of the room and you have a clean slate to start with,
take a good hard look at your bed. With any kind of luck, your
bed is no larger than a queen. A king sized bed is a hindrance
to the natural intimacy that you are looking for. With the
correct sized bed in place, you are well on your way to using
Feng Shui to become a love magnet of huge proportions, or at
least to the proportion that will find you a significant other.
Consider the placement of the bed in the room as well. There
should be room to walk on either side of it. If not, it isn’t
very welcoming to a new lover and the positive energy will be
less efficient at moving about the space.

Still dealing with the bed, your choice of bedding is very
important in regards to Feng Shui as well. Just like every
book or article you have ever read about love and finding Mr.
or Ms. Right says, your bedding should reflect your desire for
intimacy and romance. Think about using satins, silks, or a
high quality all cotton sheet set that invites touching and
romance. Of equal importance, you should also look for a
comforter that is soft and comfortable to lounge on.

The color of your decor is vitally important as well. Without looking
like a product of Hallmark, you can create a romantic look that
still fits in with your personal style. If pink, white, and red
aren’t your idea of good decorating colors, try using them as
accents or in different tones, like salmon or coral. Make your
bedroom a haven even when it is just you in it. Use plenty of
throw pillows on the bed to create the perfect place for
relaxation. The rest, and the new partner, are sure to follow
soon with all of the positive energy you have created.

Another thing to remember when you explore the new world of
Feng Shui and becoming a love magnet is to pay attention to the
photos you display in your bedroom. Keep pictures of the kids
or other family members in another room. There isn’t anything
sexy about children’s pictures or photos of dear old mom and
dad. Place those in the living or family rooms. Instead
display paintings and prints of happy couples or inviting
scenery. It is important to always have artwork depicting two
items.

Feng Shui can help you turn into a love magnet in no time.
Before you know it, you’ll be looking to this ancient practice
to further enhance your new found relationship.

What is the first thing that you usually do when you wake up in the morning? Do you stretch and smile, eager to start your day? Or do you throw the covers back over your head, wishing that you could “fast-forward” past the day and all of the responsibilities that await you?

When your feet finally meet the floor and you make your way towards the bathroom, do you smile at the person staring back at you in the mirror? You should, because that is the only person who you can truly depend on to make you happy. When you put your happiness in the hands of others, you will soon realize that you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.

You’d be surprised to find out how much joy you can bring into your life by simply treating yourself good. Self boosters such as smiling every time you pass a mirror and telling yourself how gorgeous you are can make a huge difference in the way you feel about yourself. Think of how good it makes you feel when a stranger pays you a compliment or when someone tells you how brilliant they think your ideas are. The truth is we don’t really need others to make us feel this way. Even though it’s nice to hear these kinds of things from others, we possess the ability to create this for ourselves, but only ten times better.

Just as others can easily make us feel good about ourselves, they can also say things that can easily lower our self esteem. For instance, overhearing someone mention how big your thighs are, or a group of kids on the bus laughing as they use you as an example of a whale. A person with a healthy self esteem would not be affected by such things. We are all aware of our personal flaws, and trust me, we all have them, but once we learn to accept the ones that can’t be changed as a part of who we are and make an effort to change what we want to change, only then will we see that others will accept us too.

Talk to yourself…

Don’t worry; no one will think you’re crazy–if they do just sarcastically invite them to try it for themselves. In a world where talking to ourselves would label us nutty, it is completely normal and extremely healthy in one particular sense. When we make it a habit to tell ourselves positive things, and use words such as “I can” and “I will” instead of words like “I can’t”; we simply eliminate any room left for negativity to affect our lives.

Positive thoughts and positive actions can only lead to positive results. Tell yourself how proud you are of you and don’t be afraid to give yourself a hug from time to time. Often times, our past can find ways to blind us from our promising futures. Always remind yourself that “yesterday is gone, forget about it–today is here, enjoy it!” Learn to accept each new day as a brand new adventure, with a brand new opportunity, to make it better than you could ever imagine.

Even when times are not so good, understanding that you hold the power to make it better will grant you a sense of peace. Patience enables our hopes and dreams to become a reality.

Living in this day and time, stress seems to lurk under everything we fix our eyes on. With matters of employment, obtaining a job is difficult within itself; but lacking a college education can bring a person to feel as low as the sugar settled to the bottom of a cup of coffee. Another thing, the cost of living often exceeds the average salary; forcing many of us to take on additional jobs in order to barely “get by”.

Money has a tendency to greatly affect our happiness, wellbeing, confidence, and self worth; it can literally alter the way we view the world. When we are unemployed, we may feel worthless, we may feel like a failure more than anything else, and worry about how the rest of the world perceives us.

There is a saying that goes “Why stress what cannot be changed in a moment’s time”. Being hard on yourself will only make matters worse and will only put a damper on your spirit. Instead, do something nice for yourself that will help lift your spirits; even if only for the time being. The key is learning how to take a step at a time. Reducing stress will help you to focus more energy into the things that you are trying to accomplish. Some enjoyable stress relievers include warm baths, reading, listening to music, reading a book, taking a walk, enjoying the company of family and friends, cooking, meditating,
and basking under the gentle glow of scented candles.

Nothing is EVER as bad as it may seem.

Our minds are powerful tools, and if we allow it, they can take us on irrational rollercoasters. Think back to when you were a child; did a monster ever actually come out from under your bed or come leaping out of your closet? I would hope not! Use that same general idea and apply it to some of your fears as an adult. The only differences are upgraded fears and wisdom due to age.

The only thing you possibly have to fear about your life is fear itself. It is because of fear and doubt that we are so hard on ourselves. When you finally learn and make a choice to become your own best friend, every time you walk past a mirror, the words “I love you too” will surely find a way to escape from your lips.
