Maybe you are one of those people who just can’t seem to get into the holiday spirit.  You would rather stay inside all day then take part of all the hoopla.  That is perfectly fine.  Just don’t stay home sulking, stay home and be productive.  Use this down time to journal and highlight your years successes.  Write down everything big and small.  Think about your favorite moments of the year, what were you doing?  See if you can find the activities that make you smile.  This is a great exercise to remind you of all the things you have accomplished.

This is also the perfect time to clean your closets and clean out the clutter in your house and make room for new clothes, new opportunities and a new man.  If you are holding on to anything of boyfriends past reflect on why you are holding on to the object then check in with yourself and see how you are feeling and decide to get rid of it.  New door usually only open when old doors close.  Go out and enjoy yourself or read a great romance novel, or go to a chick flick, they can help you visualize the type of relationship you really want.

Above all be yourself and do activities that would comfort your spirit.

We have heard some great stories about how women have met the men of their dreams during the holiday season because they actually stopped working and started embracing the holiday activities in their area.

Here are some suggestions for how to get out and celebrate the holiday cheer while raising your spirits and looking for your Mr. Right:

1)      Join efforts to feed the hungry in your area. If you enjoy volunteering and if you have an interest in sharing the abundance you have with those less fortunate, donate your time and find activities in your area where you can feed the homeless, elderly, sick or those who can’t afford to provide a delicious meal for themselves and their loved ones this holiday season.  Check with your local food bank and other organizations for information and events.  You never know – you might just meet him while serving mashed potatoes at the soup kitchen while he serves up the turkey with all the trimmings.

2)      Pay attention to invitations to events from organizations and groups you belong to. Instead of passing on the holiday gatherings offered by organizations and networking groups you participate in, take time out to celebrate the season with those you’ve done business with.  Toast a year of great business success and see how your relationships here have served you well.  Take clues from them and put the qualities you enjoy in these relationships into your Dear God Letter to help you describe the one you want to build with the man of your dreams.

3)      Look for flyers and announcements about events and parties at your gym, club, yoga studio or other recreational center. Perhaps there are parties that are available to you as a member of your gym or other exercise clubs.  This is a terrific way to meet men who are also members and like the same activities you do.  Attending these parties can be fun!  You don’t have to stay long.  Grab a girlfriend and make it a great girls’ night out.  You might just meet men you’ve never seen at the gym…until now.

Find ways to get out of the office and out of the house and into the holiday season and spirit.  All work and no fun makes it harder to find him.  Pick one activity you love and go for it!

Your Mr. Right may walk right into your life and light up your holiday spirits this season – and beyond.

It’s your time to have it all, isn’t it?

After Thanksgiving, the holiday spirit really kicks up a notch.  Couples are more visible – at parties, out shopping in the stores and going from family to friends to office holiday parties.  If you are one of those who want to be in a couple but aren’t yet, take a few hints this season from the happy couples you see.

What is it about them that you admire?  Are they affectionate?  Do you like the way they communicate and laugh with one another?  Maybe it’s the way they hold hands or how he’s always the gentleman who opens the door for her and offers a hand to help her out of the car?

When you hear yourself say: “I wish I had someone like that who was with me,” write down whatever it is that strikes a chord with you.  This is a great insight into what kind of relationship you desire.  These little details make a big difference for the couple you are noticing – and also in the relationship that you want to build.

Think about the small stuff that makes a difference for you.  What makes you feel supported?  What makes you feel loved?  What provides you with that inner feeling of being appreciated?  Write these all down as you can identify them.  This is the information you’ll want to share with your Mr. Right when you meet him.  These are the exact pieces of the puzzle that make it easy for him to be Mr. Right.

Make your wish list and believe in it.  This is your season to have your dream come true.

It’s your time to have it all!

Every year at the holiday season, do you find yourself “the single girl” at the holiday parties amidst others in couples?  Wondering how many more parties you’ll be invited to where you show up as “the single girl” with or without a date?

Maybe this year we can help resolve the catch-22 of being too busy to find the man of your dreams because of your career and finding yourself all alone again with no one beside you at holiday parties and friendly gatherings of good cheer.

You still have time this Fall to find and meet the man of your dreams while working and building your amazing career.

What if you could finish the year strong in both business and your personal romantic life?  Think it can’t be done?  We know.  We were you.  Year after year, holiday after holiday all throughout the Fall.

From Halloween parties and hayrides to Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and the New Year, stop hugging the wall this year and start finding the man of your dreams to hug instead.

It’s easier when you put “Boys Before Business.”

You’re still not too late to find him this year.

Use these 5 simple tips to get you started:

1) Make a list of the top 10 traits that you’d like in a mate.
State these in positive statements.  Use “he does,” “he likes,”,
“I like it when he…,” or “he will” statements.

2) Next, look at your calendar.  When will you make time in your
busy schedule for him?

3) Now, decide if you are willing to put “Boys Before Business”
and if you are ready to meet the man of your dreams.

4) Put forth the energy, the belief and the faith that you too can still
find him this year.

5) Believe it’s possible for you to meet him.

Regardless of what others think or say, it’s your time to have it all!
