When you give a hug, give a real hug. A nice embrace and make it last just a little too long. People just don’t hug long enough, they do an obligatory hug without any real feeling behind it. Physical touch has many healing properties and a hug can be just what some people need. Have you ever hugged a person and they seemed fine but started to cry when you hugged them? All that stress and tension came out when they felt secure in your arms. Hugs are very therapeutic so don’t rush them! Give a nice long hug to a willing participant today and Live Inspired Now!

Being badass has everything to do with attitude and being true to who you are. A badass person marches to the beat of their own drum without regard for what others think of them. They also don’t hurt other people… bully’s aren’t badass, they are usually scared and lack any confidence. People who stand up for others are badass. Badass people follow their dreams even when others say “it’s completely unrealistic!” Nelson Mandela, Albert Einstein, Rosa Parks, Sylvester Stallone, Walt Disney, Dalton Sherman, Derek Redmond, JK Rowling are all examples of badass people who did something amazing, something that others told them they couldn’t or who showed extreme bravery when others would have walked away. There are so many more examples… who do YOU think of when you think of badass? Today, channel YOUR inner badass, stand up or speak out, do something amazing and Live Inspired Now!
PS: Check out my “upcoming workshops” page; I am hosting a “Becoming Badass” workshop that you will want to participate in! (It’s a teleconference so you can listen in from the comfort of you own home!)

I have been posting about relationships this week and yesterday on facebook I asked 2 questions: “What jobs should the woman of the house be doing?” and “What jobs should the man of the house be doing?” I received a host of answers but only 1 person really got the answer that I was looking for. She responded with “Taking care of the man of the house”… and “Taking care of the woman of the house…” which is exactly right! Put one another first, take care of each other, honor your relationship and be each others biggest fans! Your health and success of your family is only as strong as the foundation that you build as a couple, put one another first always and Live Inspired Now!

Men, start paying attention to your lady, that is what she wants more than anything! Women want to feel like they are the most important person in your life, they want you to be fully present. That means, not watching television while they are telling you about their day, and yes, they may tell you every last detail right down to the ugly boots the woman at the store had on. It may be completely irrelevant information but be thankful that she wants to share with you. Just let her talk and express herself, don’t try to correct her or fix any of it unless she asks, she just needs to get the words out.
Also, when a woman is “emotional,” that is when you need to be present even more! Stand strong through her storm and show her that you are an immovable force that she can count on. Women like to know that their men are strong enough to handle it and won’t run away. Take your woman in your arms and hold her, just let her cry and rant and quietly hold her. Women like to test their men and his strength, don’t be afraid to push back, don’t let her emasculate you. Stand up and take action, don’t be afraid to assert yourself in a way that will make your lady understand how you feel. You have to be strong enough and allow her to be vulnerable. If she is “taking care of everything and everyone” she will never feel taken care of herself. Take out the garbage, drive the car, open her doors, carry the heavy stuff, buy the saw blades and when she tries to do it, don’t let her! Tell her that you are her man and you need to do certain things so you can take care of her! (Of course the specific things are different for every couple, but you get the idea.) Just man up, take care of your woman, pay attention to her, make her feel like your queen, truly listen to her, do the man jobs, bring her flowers, be strong and immovable, communicate openly and Live Inspired Now!

Ladies, stop trying to prove to your men how strong you are, you might render them useless! I get this from so many couples, the woman is upset because the man has become emasculated. Ladies, you need to allow your men to be men. You are not in competition, you are in a relationship. Every relationship has roles that need to be filled, don’t try to fill your mans role.
Men and women are NOT equal. Yes, we deserve equal human rights, but we are far from equal. (Again, we deserve equal human rights, no one is less valuable than another.) Allow your man to do things for you; let them carry the heavy bags instead of saying “I can do it, I can do it!” Yes, you CAN do it, but he wants to help you, that is an act of kindness it doesn’t take away from your strength. Also remember, our men are our partners, not our children. If they leave their socks on the floor, so what? Either pick them up or ignore them…. do you want a clean bedroom or a happy husband? Seriously, people make big things out of little ones and that is what causes frustration. When you “scold” him about the socks, it puts you in a parental role and then it becomes harder for him to act like a man. A man doesn’t want to ravage your body and treat you like a woman if you act like his mom.
I know all this sounds harsh, and I will address the men tomorrow but for today, it’s all about us ladies. Treat your man like a king and he will make your his queen and there is nothing wrong with being the queen! Embrace your feminine essence and let the man express his masculinity. Don’t turn him into your girlfriend, because you rob him of his role as man, husband, mate, protector, bag carrier, door holder, knight in shining armor, ravager, lover, partner and so much more. Most men want nothing more than to please their women and see them smile, smile at your man, thank him for wanting to take care of you and Live Inspired Now!
