Hi everyone!
I wanted to share my story this Valentine’s Day in 2025 for those of you who are still single and frustrated. I’ve been there too before I had a loving partner, I used to be single and frustrated too on Valentine’s Day. So enjoy being single if you’re ready and determined to manifest your lasing loving partner this year, as this is your year!
Emotional neediness can sometimes feel like a negative trait when dating. It’s about constantly seeking reassurance or approval from your partner, often stemming from deeper personal insecurities or past experiences. This behavior could face societal judgment, labeling one as high maintenance, but it’s crucial to understand it’s more about unmet emotional needs or unresolved issues.
People often feel needy in relationships due to reasons like low self-esteem, fear of being alone, or previous relationship trauma. They need validation that they are needed and wanted in the relationship or when dating. These factors can lead to over-dependence on a partner, overshadowing the healthy independence usually required for a balanced relationship.
I didn’t realise I was being needy with Michael, until I felt it was too late where I had already sent multiple text messages and voicemail. I still felt independent though and happy to be on my own and was loving my job at the time. His reaction to it shocked me though, when he did everything he could to get to me, bring me flowers and say he was sorry and that he wanted to fulfil that need I had.
Neediness can take a toll on both partners, putting stress on the relationship. It isn’t just about endless texting or wanting constant company; it can shift into feeling overly possessive or anxious when apart. Recognizing these behavioral patterns early can help address them before they deepen. Michael was quick to address it and we ended up both discussing it in a way where it would work for both of us.
Self-awareness plays a key role here. Try to take a step back when you feel these needy impulses creeping in. Ask yourself what triggers them and dig deeper into understanding these feelings. From there, you can start working towards a more secure attachment style, which balances closeness and independence in a way that feels both comfortable and healthy for you and your partner.
When you have the right partner, they will understand and want to work with you to fulfil that need. Here is a short video I did explaining it a little bit:
By understanding and identifying these neediness triggers, you can work towards not just managing these feelings but using them for personal growth within the relationship and talking it through with your partner.
Building emotional independence will help to develop healthier, more balanced relationships and it starts off with self-awareness. By recognizing and understanding your own needs and feelings, you’ll be better equipped to manage them without relying solely on your partner for emotional fulfillment. Maybe it’s a need you can fulfil yourself?
Self-esteem plays an important role in emotional independence. Notice how you talk to yourself and make a conscious effort to boost your self-image. Positive affirmations and celebrating small victories in your life can gradually build a strong sense of self-worth. It’s about being your own cheerleader and not solely depending on your partner’s approval.
Setting personal boundaries is another crucial step. Know your limits in terms of emotional availability and ensure you communicate these to your partner. Clear boundaries help prevent feelings of overwhelm or regret, keeping the relationship healthy and respectful.
Balance also means finding value in your alone time. Pursuing hobbies or interests outside the relationship not only enriches your life but also brings fresh energy into the partnership. Regularly engaging in activities that bring you joy can reinforce your sense of self, making you feel more grounded and less inclined to cling to your partner.
Personal growth isn’t a solo journey, especially when you’re in a relationship. Encourage your partner to embark on this journey with you. Share your individual growth outcomes to inspire each other. By doing this, both of you can learn to support each other’s independence and still cherish the unique bond you share.
Tapping into insights from what I’ve shared and my video content, means you can find practical steps and real-life examples to further solidify your resolve and navigate the road to independence with confidence. Remember, the goal is thriving together but also individually, which creates a solid foundation for any partnership.
Ten years of marriage feels like a blink and a lifetime all at once. Hitting that 10-year mark is something special, right? It’s about revisiting the highs, learning from the lows, and everything in between. To make this milestone even more memorable, Bali was the perfect choice. We decided to go back to the place where we got married and stay a bit longer. We also wanted to go back to Nusa Lembongan as we had loved it there too 10 years ago when we had our honeymoon there.
Husband found the Samabe Bali Suites & Villas special celebration options and it was like stumbling upon a hidden gem. Their Power of Love package promised a mix of intimacy, luxury and one of a kind romantic dinner in a cave on the beach, which was exactly what we wanted to celebrate our journey, as it was unique. A place where every sunset feels like it’s just for you, and every moment spent feels like a page from a fairytale when the cave is decorated with lights.
We didn’t just want to relive old memories; it was about honoring how far we’d come. H2O Videoworks made that easy. These folks worked magic at our wedding and revisiting them was like meeting old friends who just get it. Capturing the energy, joy, and love we felt—once again, they exceeded expectations and delivered memories we’ll cherish.
We were also very honoured to receive a special song by Shanalee. She created a special tune just for us, a melody that wrapped our memories in a beautiful bow. It was more than a song; it embodied the essence of our decade-long love story.
Celebrating this anniversary wasn’t just marking a date on the calendar. It was about appreciating the journey, embracing the stories we’ve lived, and looking forward to the ones yet to be written. Love, growth, and memory intertwined in the heart of Bali, offering a beautiful reflection on our shared path.

I’m sure you have heard of them, most likely through the book or movie “The Secret” where they relate to the law of attraction. I have created my own mind movie and had success with attracting what I wanted.
So I wanted to go through in more detail of a mind movie, so others could use it to get what they want too.
A mind movie will include pictures, music and affirmations of what you want in life or what you want to attract. It’s like a vision board, but as a short movie. If it’s just personal to you, then any pictures off the internet and any song you like will work well. If you want to share it online though, you will need to be careful of copyright laws around the pictures and music.
This means that if you want to post or share it online, you will need to use your own pictures and music. Another option could be to purchase royalty free pictures and music or get permission from the original owners of those pictures and music.
I decided to create a “Mind Movie” to help attract the love of my life. This is my Love Mind Movie below, where it incorporated the Law of Attraction to help attract my True Love. This was fun to build and helps to put feel the feeling of already having this that you want.
This started by researching photos that would make me feel good and loved by a partner. To me, affection was important, so a lot of them show him being affectionate. I also love to have fun and laugh a lot, so needed to make sure there were a lot of photos of couples laughing together.
Then you think of other things you want to attract to put into the mind movie. I also love learning from spiritual leaders, so it was important that he would be open to that too and want to work on personal development. Then you think of and add some affirmations that align with what you want. Make sure you put them in the present tense like they’re already happening or have already happened.
When you put it all together, it should make you feel really good, happy and loved.
I’m so blessed that mine came true.
