DOES YOUR OTHER HALF STAND BY YOUR FAILURES?

BY CYNAID CREE

I just watched Julie and Julia starring Meryl Streep on TV the other day.Its one of those movies that you have to tell someone else about.Sometimes theres movies we go out to watch but you never know just by looking athe movie poster,that after watching it you will feel more inspired than ever.

We all have been in a job with a dead beat boss,with an average life of just living to work,pay bills and repeat for a lifetime.Although this movie is about 1 person being inspired to cook 300 something recipes by a deadline out of a well known cookbook,this movie teaches you so much more about your life,the other half of you"him" thats very important in your life standing by your failures as well as your success.It teaches you about dreams and its okay to have one.It teaches you about self-...
discipline,learning to complete the tasks that you start out in your life,all of which is pretty awesome if I have to say so for myself.


I learned that its okay when your life does not exactly match your friends and their success.We all get there one day or another.I also learnt that you dont have to be a chef but in your lifetime its very important to know how to cook,Its just like getting your licence,its the vehicle to survive hunger and a reminder to what home always smells like.It definitely makes a house a home

You have to watch it to experience it all.I can write out the whole movie here but it just wont be the same..and I hope you do:)

ARE YOU SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME ON YOURSELF?

BY CYNAID CREE
You might think that theres no such thing as spending too much time on yourself,and I believe that if you take good care of yourself then you can care better for others.Although that is true but if you are in a relationship sometimes its hard to see when we are over doing it just a tad.

I highlighted the Blue as the guy and Pink as the girl.Now this is just a example of two people who live with each other and how they manage their week.Nobody really writes down what they will be doing in a week except business meetings. In order to have a balanced relationship its nice to experiment and do this excercise for a month.Its more of a personal test on how much time you spend doing your things,how much time your partner spends doing his/ her things and how much time you both spend doing things together.Its always nice to know on average what you most spend your time on and what you need to focus on time puting towards.On your calendar that you both can share,write down your activties and everything else that consumes your time.From looking at the example above you can see the guy spends alot of time being busy and the girl just twice in the week.Just by looking at it they both didnt have plans to spend together.In a relationship that can be bad when we spend too much time on things we want to do.Although I think its important to have your own interests it is important to make time for each other.We have to learn to make time for each other.If we allow time to consume us then we may never be able to realize it and only too late when the relationship has expired.If  this excercise has helped you,continue to use it so that it can help you keep a track of me time,your partner time and couple time.At least if any fights occur you have proof than one of you was spending too much time on themselves and helps put situations in a better perspective so the next time you can get a wild card to do whatever you want:)If this excercise has helped you,drop me a comment and let me know if it has helped you.
