How do I Empower Myself?

This is going to be difficult. For so long I have always felt that it is important to put my man before myself. And in some relationships, it worked. But those were short relationships. This one is going on 7 years.

So now I need to learn how to empower myself. In doing what everyone else does, I headed straight for the internet. Gotta love the internet. I found a very interesting, yet simple, article. http://ezinearticles.com/?7-Easy-Steps-to-Empowering-Yourself&id=163522 It gives ideas and ways to achieve them. I am also going to do things with friends and even alone. Movies, shopping, just general girl stuff.

One thing I need to emphasize is that I am doing this for more than just myself. I am doing this for the man I love. I know he is my forever love but the way we have been treating each other lately, one would never know. That has to change. That will change.

Yesterday was an interesting day. I went with Will while he walked our pit bull Deuce. It really made a difference right off the bat. Before I had said I would walk with him he even offered to buy dinner if I walked Deuce. I said I'd walk with him, and I must admit he was surprised and even pleased. We walked around our complex and even at one point he held my hand.

This morning when we woke up he laid his head on my chest and usually, in my past life that would make me upset. He was supposed to coddle and cuddle me, but now knowing what I do, I know he needs that from me. He has been in a wonderful mood all day and we haven't snipped at each other once. Pretty impressive for us. He even told me that he totally backs up my plans, pretty impressive, and I am so happy to have his support and love.

We are treating ourselves to M Buffet for dinner - Seafood and creme brulee - to die for!!

As to empowering myself, I think by working on my computer, putting all my songs on an external drive the way I want, thinking for myself and how I want to do it. Not asking for help. It is a step. Learning how to empower myself will take time, I know that.

I also started reading Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian L. Weiss. This is about past life regression. I've always felt that there is more to me than meets the eye and I am going to find her or them.

So day 2 of my new life and I'm amazed at how smoothly its going - So Far. I am not so naive that I don't know that issues will come up. But I just hope that in time I will learn how be be who I can and should be.
