What do you do when evening falls?
- Throw yourself in bed, exhausted?
- Read a page from a book which has been standing open, on your nightstand, since last year?
- Send your children to bed and then throw yourself, exhausted, in bed?
Well, you’re not the only one following such a scenario. The phenomena succeed themselves quickly and irreversible. It’s like time itself doesn’t let us slow down our self-imposed rhythm.
It’s time for you to make a change! It doesn’t mean you should stop being competitive or cozy up on the couch, it’s just about ‘finding your moments’.
Valentine’s Day is drawing close. Even if you like this celebration or not, one thing is clear: you can take advantage of it! Being romantic is not good or bad, nor indicated or recommended. It’s simply in our soul and we have to pamper that part of ourselves too. If you weren’t born with inclinations towards romance, you should still try it out sometimes, it’s good for you, it relaxes you, softens you and makes you appreciate small things and gestures. Try, just a few times a month, to avoid the enemies of romance.
3 things which, in my option, kill the romance:
1) Fast Food – destroys any idea of a romantic dinner
2) The Phone – there’s nothing like a statement supported by mimic and an intense glance
3) E-Mails – did we really learn how to write for nothing?!
3 things you can do for yourself as an incurable romantic:
1) Put a flower in your hair and paper yourself with a coffee and rum cocktail
2) Listen to a song like ‘Je t’aime’ by Lara Fabian
3) Read ‘The Great Expectations’ by Charles Dickens (or my favorite love novel, ‘The Sorrows of Young Werther’ by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
3 things you can do together with your partner:
1) Offer your partner a perfumed, handwritten love letter
2) Tonight, serve a glass of boiled wine with cinnamon in the moonlight and reminisce how you met each other
3) Go to a studio and record your favorite song. Listen to it every time you want to regain each other.
