Everyone you meet is part of the kaleidoscope of your life. I like to think of it as a divine-plan, which helps develop you into the unique person you are today. Every experience you encounter has an effect on how you think and act. It gives you an opportunity to grow and evolve as a person and a big part of this, I believe, is your ability to embrace life. But it’s more than that; it’s the relationships you encounter, which give you the greatest challenge that test how strong your spirit is. How you deal with these relationships is an indication of your ability to give and receive love.

Here are some thoughts, exercises and ideas you can adopt to ‘Spring Clean Your Dating Gene’, to attract loving relationships.

How To Mend A Broken Heart:
• You don’t really mend a broken-heart, you re-new it.
• With every encounter, you loose innocence, but gain wisdom.
• Time is one of the greatest healers for a broken-heart.
• Do what’s right for you, and this means putting yourself first.

Difficult Friendships:
• Difficult love experiences can be your greatest teachers.
• Take note of its lessons, and consciously work through issues.
• Step one is to communicate to the other person how you feel.

Angry Moments:
• Harsh words or temper outbursts should be just that, angry moments.
• Let it go; the only person you’re hurting when you hold a grudge is you.
• Look for the good, not the bad, accept, forgive and move on.
• It’s your body and your life it’s affecting, not anyone else’s.

Saying Sorry, Who Makes The First Move:
• People get so caught up with, “I’m always the first to say sorry”.
• It’s not important who makes the first move, as long as someone does.
• If you’re always the one to do it, that means your better at it.
• It only takes one to say sorry, and the energy between you changes.

Heart and Soul Strength:
