Way too often we get stuck doing the same things, with the same people. This month it's time to innovate, gyrate and create new experiences. (Yes, I said "gyrate.")
This
is especially for you if you are one of those women that has not taken time for
yourself lately, and have been busy doing everything for everybody else.
Relationships AND our communications in them can become a habit, like anything
else. To add some fresh life and energy to your relationship, and create a
little 'anticipation' vs. expectation, here are some fun ideas to get you out
of your comfort zone and into a little creative expression.
Plus, it will get you out of your 'habit' and into your body. (That's another article though!)
1.Take a Dance Class.
Yep,
even without your significant other. Look up "independent dance studios" in
your city. These studios often have inexpensive, beginner dance classes that
you can hit with your girlfriends and try a little salsa, cha-cha, mambo or
samba. There are usually plenty of men there to dance with (and they are
generally there to dance, not hit on you!)
2. Pole Dance?
Yes, that's what I said. Pole Dancing as an alternative exercise format has become quite popular in recent years. Go with the girls so you can giggle when you're uncomfortable as you let go of those thoughts in the back of your mind about what this means, and let yourself stretch to express your Inner Goddess.
3. Rock Climbing
Fear
of heights? Fear of falling? Feeling like you can't possibly do such a thing
because you're not 'strong' enough or you'll feel silly doing something you've
never done before? Perfect! This is exactly the night out for you! When we get
out of our heads, and the stories we tell ourselves, we find more often than
not, that we can do exactly that which we thought we couldn't. Call the local
rock climbing gym and schedule a fear-busting night with the girls. (Take it a
step further and explore your inner silly - decide on a theme & have
everyone dress up when you go!)
When we stretch ourselves it affects our self-esteem, our confidence, our power as women. When we feel strong, sexy and powerful, the way we communicate in our relationships reflects that part of our inner Being. Go get some energy back and create your own unique Girls Night Out! (I'd love to hear what you come up with - please let me know on Twitter or Facebook!)
