The over-arching theme of February comes at an ideal time and is the perfect reminder to create from our heart! Here in the dead of winter with days often lacking the exuberance that sunshine and warmth bring, we may think that we desperately need the love-energy of this month to spark our spirit of romance. Truth is everyone is constantly in the state of romancing, the interesting question is, just what are you actually romancing?
Romancing is the act of lavishing your object of desire with energy, attention and focus. You become fixated and preoccupied; you daydream, obsess, lose track of time, step out of the present moment and reach for future scenarios. Whether you are romancing a person, a situation, or a scenario the process is the same. You are fully immersed in creating your outer experience from the inside with your thoughts and feelings!
So here’s where it gets fascinating; you are always romancing a future based on where you are spending your emotional currency. Are you being emotionally stingy or generous with yourself?
Romancing from a stingy state literally triggers stress hormones that kindle fear, provoke the past and condition the body to respond in old patterned ways which produce the same experiences over again. It’s right here whereyour heart goes into protection mode and on a most fundamental level you emotionally revert to your same old story, using the same old strategies which yield the same old results. This is not an act of love, not toward yourself or any other!
When romancing in the spirit of generosity you are fanciful, immersed in potentials, creative, connected to a higher ideal of yourself and in the flow with life itself. Your heart is open and ignites a thought process steeped in new ideas, what you value, and feel fulfills you. As you create this state your imagination is on fire and you are activating your forebrain, lighting up that creativity center and romancing a future built on possibilities. It’s right here where you are thinking beyond your current circumstances and inviting in prospects that are greater than your existing environment. It is where doors open, opportunities are ignited, and synchronicity occurs. This is an act of love, toward yourself and others!
As February moves toward March, how are you willing to keep the love-energy of this month alive? Your life is a reflection of what you romance and there is an area of your life that is just waiting for your energy, attention and focus. You know what it is, it whispers to you all the time. Romance it forward with fervor, creativity, commitment, and nobility; your heart knows the way!
