Valentine's – what’s really at stake?
Guest Blog by Andy Pocock - Relationship Counsellor from www.livingreal.com.au So let’s peep behind the flowers, chocolates (organic of course), gold silver and diamonds and if you’re up for it, that naughty negligee'. Why is this all so important? Yes we all want to be loved - we all know that! There is however something much stronger going on!!! – Especially if we have high expectations. Here’s the deal. Research shows that a negative experience is at least five times stronger than a positive experience. (Just think of the impact on you last time you were hurt by someone) So if you get your Valentine something special chances are it will be positive and they will feel loved. All Good! That’s not really the issue though. The issue is what happens if you don’t get your Valentine something! Five times stronger than the potential positive! Ouch!!! Now that’s a risk I am simply not willing to take. Each year there are thousands of men that forget Valentines and spend the rest of the year paying for it. That’s just plain dumb! So Ladies, I guess it’s quite simple – show your Man this blog and I guarantee you will get something special for Valentines. (I’m off to the shops to get my wife something) Celebrate love and life – they are our greatest gifts!
