3 Simple Ways to Manifest More Love this Valentine’s Day!

3 Simple Ways to Manifest More Love this Valentine’s Day!

by Gladys Diaz

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I realize that today can be a bitter-sweet days for some people, given that the day is focused on love — primarily romantic love — and it can be painful if you’re not in a relationship, or in a relationship that’s not going well at the moment.  If you’re not focused — truly focused — on the love that’s all around and within you, you can actually find yourself feeling Toxic Emotions, such as jealousy, sadness, or loneliness.

So, what can you do to make today a happy day, and one where you are able to see, receive, and give love, no matter what your relationship status is? 

1. Gather evidence of love all around you. 

Rather than trying to resist or reject all of the signs of love around you today, look for evidence of love and pull it toward you.  One thing you can do is put your hands over your heart when you see evidence of love today — whether it is a picture of flowers someone received, or a couple holding hands, or anything having to do with love and romance — and, rather than get hurt, angry, or resentful, with your hand on your heart, say something like, “I’m so happy for her/them, and I can’t wait to feel that way, too!” or “I’m so happy for her/them!  I send them love and receive that love as it comes back to me!”

2. Make a Love Plan for yourself. 

If you haven’t already planned out what you are going to do to fill your day with love, take the time to do it now! Plan to do something nice for yourself, get yourself a token of your own love for yourself, and make plans with friends or family.  Isolating yourself only reinforces the belief “I am alone,” and that only deepens any feelings of sadness or separation you may be feeling today.  So, rather than being reactive and closing yourself off, surround yourself with the people and things you love and enjoy.  You, more than anyone else in the world, deserve your own love, so be generous in giving that love to YOU!  

3. Bask in Gratitude. 

One of the most powerful and transformative energies we can embody and practice is gratitude.  As you gather evidence of love and fill yourself up with love, remember to truly feel and express thanks for the things, people, and blessings you have in your life.  It’s virtually impossible to be angry and grateful or upset and grateful at the same time.  When you choose to turn your heart and thoughts to the things for which you are grateful, you are making a conscious choice to not allow negative thoughts and feelings to overtake you.  Does this mean you have to “pretend” you don’t feel the sadness or upset?  No. Resistance only has those feelings strengthen and persist.  Instead, feel the feelings, acknowledge that they are there, and then choose to release them. And, as you release them, fill the space left by the negative feelings with thoughts of the things, people, and blessings for which you are grateful.  This practice can leave you feeling empowered, rather than disempowered, as you will come to see just how able you are of navigating through and your emotions with power, grace, and ease!

Putting these simple practices in place today (and every day) can help you manifest and experience love, joy, peace, and gratitude, which are highly magnetic emotions and can truly shift your state as well as your experience of living and loving!

My heart-felt wish for you today is that you are able to see, feel, and create love all around and within you and that you come to the indisputable realization that…

YOU ARE LOVED!

Why FAITH Matters in Your Love Life

Why FAITH Matters in Your Love Life

by Gladys Diaz

Today we’re celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the United States, and, aside from relishing having a day to spend with my family, I also wanted to take a few minutes to reflect and remember why this day is so important.

If I had to use just three words to describe Dr. King and his life, the words would be faith, love, and hope.  And, of course, all of these were enveloped in his dream.

As I was looking through some of his inspirational quotes, I came across this one:

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

As soon as I read it, I immediately thought back to my family’s vacation to Hawaii in November, and the way I felt when I stood inside the volcano crater and looked up at the tiny staircase that was miles and miles away, at the top of the mountain (see the photo below, and you’ll see the staircase at the upper left-hand corner).  

I remember thinking, “How in the world will I ever make it up there, especially with my fear of heights and the pain in my knee?”

I didn’t know how I’d make it, but I did know one thing:

I was NOT going to allow my fear to stop me from getting to the top of that mountain and witnessing the view from up there!

So, I started climbing.  

And, yes, I was scared.  I got dizzy a few times.  My feet slipped on the rocks. And the pain in my knee became almost unbearable the higher we climbed.  

But I had faith that something beautiful, something I’d never seen or experienced before, was waiting for me at the top of that mountain and on the other side of my fear.  So I climbed!

And, when I got to the top of the mountain, it was so worth it!  I’d climbed my first mountain, the view was absolutely breathtaking, and I was experiencing it all with the three guys I love most in this world!

Honestly, it was MORE than worth it!

So, why am I telling you this?

I know that love and relationships can be scary. There is so much uncertainty because there aren’t any guarantees.  

You don’t know if it’s going to work out with the guy you are seeing.

You’re afraid of having your heart broken again.

It feels safer to stay where you are, even though it’s not where you want to be.

I get it.

However, staying where you are — whether you are single or in a relationship that is stagnant or not working — is the surefire way to NOT get to where you truly desire to be: The place where you feel loved and adored.  That amazing place where you know that you know that you are loved!

Maybe it’s been a long journey for you.

Maybe you feel like the pain is more than you can take.  

Or maybe you’re just tired of trying.

Whatever your “mountain” is, I promise you that if you will have your faith be stronger than your fear, if you are willing to focus on your desire more than your doubt, and if you are courageous enough to take that first step in the direction of your dreams, with the right guidance and support, you WILL get to the place where you are in the relationship your heart desires with the man who is absolutely right for you.

If you’re ready to take that first step and you want to know exactly how to do that, then it’s time for you to have a Love Breakthrough!  Simply use the link below to schedule time for us to talk and together we will take a look at what your personal love goals are, distinguish what has been stopping you from attracting that loving relationship to you, and what your best first step is for getting the happy, loving relationship your heart desires.

The Secrets to Making Love Last for a Lifetime!

The Secrets to Making Love Last for a Lifetime!

From Hawaii with Love! (Pictures inside)

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who live in the U.S. and celebrate this wonderful holiday!

Today, my heart is overflowing with thanks!

For the past two weeks, I have been in Hawaii, enjoying more natural beauty than I even knew existed! From beautiful beaches, to majestic mountains, and breathtaking sunsets, it has been one miraculous moment after the other.

If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be spending Thanksgiving with my husband and kids on this amazing island, I probably would not have thought it would be possible.

Yet, here we are! And every moment of this trip has been a dream come true!

While some people may say that I should have come alone with my husband for a romantic getaway, I’ll tell you what I know to be true! Love and romance are a creation! We get to create as much love, passion, and romance as our hearts desire. And, while, yes, perhaps it may have been a bit more romantic to be here without the kids, that hasn’t stopped us from creating some truly romantic moments while we’ve been here.

The first one happened at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, I mentioned to my husband that I would love to have a unique souvenir that I would see and use often and that would remind me of our trip. Before we left Pearl Harbor, we saw a small kiosk selling Hawaiian pearls. As soon as I saw the pendant of “The Tree of Life,” I gasped! It was so beautiful and original, and the monument had moved me to tears. Plus, knowing that the tree symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and a reminder that we are all interconnected made it all the more special!

I kept going between wanting the ring or the pendant, because they were both so beautiful! Then, my husband surprised me by telling the saleslady, “She’ll take both of them!” I squealed with delight as my eyes watered up and I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a sweet, long kiss!

The saleslady’s eyes watered, too, and she said, “How cute! How long have you two been together?”tree-of-life-ring_hawaii_11-20-16

“17 years,” I
answered.

“Wow! And he is still like that with you? You are lucky!”

“Yes. I’m blessed,” I said, and gave him another hug!

Then the next day, after driving all over the island to find the perfect spot to watch the sunset, because I mentioned that I wanted to see the sun set the previous day,” there was a Hawaiian man with a dreamy voice who began to sing, “What a Wonderful World.”

That happens to be one of my favorite songs, and with the sun setting, my husband and my kids there with me, the words took on a whole new meaning, and, again, my eyes watered as I looked over at my husband and smiled.

He stood up, came around to my side of the table, and drew me into his arms so that I could dance with him! No one else was dancing, and it didn’t matter. We just stared into each other’s eyes and danced! Another moment I will never forget!hawaii-kiss-silhouette_11-22-16

So, why am I telling you all of this?

Because THIS is the kind of love you can have!

I’m not “lucky” and this relationship didn’t “just happen.” I have spent over two decades learning about what makes love last, I practice what I teach in my marriage ever single day, and making sure that you experience the joy of KNOWING that you are loved every single day of your life is why I do the work I do!

No matter where you are in your love life, whether you are single and ready to attract the man of your dreams, or you are in a relationship and you want to continue making the love grow deeper, stronger, and more passionate with time, YOU can have the loving relationship your heart desires!

You can learn the secrets to BEing a Simply Irresistible Woman — the kind of woman a man can’t help but love, and adore, and desire!

That’s why you want to make sure you keep your eyes open for our Black Friday special. We have NEVER offered such a generous sale before, and, honestly, we don’t plan on doing it again.

If you’re ready to start turning your love life around and you want to be the kind of woman who can attract and create a forever kind of love, then make sure you mark your calendar for midnight (12:00am ET) Friday, because this is an once-in-a-lifetime simply irresistible offer that can help you experience and have love for a lifetime!

Aloha, for now!

With all my love,

Love Yourself Fiercely!

Love Yourself Fiercely!

Today marks the end of the 21-day Self-Love Secret Challenge we’ve been sharing with some of the women in our community. I’m a mushball,  so, any time a course comes to an end, I tend to get a little weepy. I used to hide that side of me – pretending I was tough. Now, what you see is what you get! I’m sentimental, I tear up at the slightest hint of happiness or love. And I love that about me!

It’s been an amazing 21 days shared with equally extraordinary women, and I have to admit that, while Michelle and I were leading the daily challenges, I learned several of my own lessons in self-love over the past few weeks!
For example, I noticed how…

…I sometimes speak negatively to myself when I make a mistake…

…when I’m really busy, there are times when I will sacrifice my self-care…

…when I’m not hitting all of my goals, I tend to compare myself to others…

…when I’m feeling down, I’ll want to hide away from others… especially those who love and want to help me me most…

Thankfully, over the 21 days, there was a Self-Love Challenge that dealt with each of these situations.

One day, we wrote love letters to ourselves…

We spoke words of love and affirmation when we caught ourselves thinking or speaking negatively of ourselves to ourselves or others.

We allowed ourselves to receive love, kindness, gifts, and compliments from those around us…

And each day, for 21 days, we focused on the qualities that make each of us unique, those qualities that bring love and beauty, and life to the world simply because we exist!

(By the way, when was the last time you gave yourself 21 days of pure love?)

 

Taking this journey along with the women who joined the Self-Love Secret Challenge affirmed for me even further that the self-love IS the secret to attracting and experiencing more love in your life!

When you love yourself fiercely and you acknowledge that who you are is already lovable and already worthy of all the happiness your heart desires, you radiate love and you teach others how to treat and love you!

It’s amazing and miraculous, and you deserve nothing less!

No matter how successful and confident you are, there may be times when you slip into negative self-talk, when a fear is triggered, or self-doubt is sparked.  That doesn’t make you weak.  It just makes you human. It’s in those moments when you want to give yourself and extra dose of self-love.

Do something special for yourself.

Think of a time when you felt a surge of confidence and pride in yourself.

Remind yourself that you are LOVE-ABLE: Able to love and be loved!

 

So, if today is one of those days when you’re feeling down, like you’re not at your best, or maybe you’re feeling downright unlovable, I invite you to do one of our Self-Love Secret Missions:

  • Set your timer for 1 minute.
  • Take a look in the mirror and look deeply into your own eyes.
  • As you look at yourself, simply say the words, “I love you” aloud, over and over again, until the minute is up.
  • Allow whatever feelings that begin to bubble up to come up.
  • Allow yourself to feel love from the person with whom you will have the longest love affair of your life: YOU!
  • Then let me know what the experience was like for you!  How did you feel during the exercise. Did those feelings change as the time went by?  Were any emotions triggered for you?

And, if you find that your heart is feeling so heavy that you can’t even bring yourself to do the exercise, hit “reply” anyway, and tell me what’s going on.  Let me be there for you!
Allowing others to love you and allowing yourself to receive love is one of the most loving things you can do for yourself!!

Either way, I want to hear from you!  I love seeing your name in my Inbox! 🙂

Oh!  And, no matter what, always remember that YOU ARE LOVED!
