How are you getting on with your 2011 resolutions? We’re approaching the end of February now, so you’ve had nearly two months to put your resolutions into action, whether that’s losing a few pounds, saving money or simply finding a date on Mature Singles Dating.
This month I’ll be talking about Mind, Body and Soul. This may sound a bit deep, but it’s important to make the best of yourself, isn’t it? Plus you want to look good for your Mature Singles Dating date, and sometimes looking good starts with feeling good.
Mind
Our mind, like any other part of our body, needs exercise and stimulation to keep it active and healthy. The Crossword or Sudoku in your daily paper are great little mental workouts; not only do they keep your memory sharp but they can be quite a relaxing break during the busy day. Let’s not forget the all important ‘Brain Foods’. Blueberries are great for improving mental functions and are rich in antioxidants. Oily Fish contains Omega-3 which helps develop brain tissue for increasing brain power. Nuts have been known to promote mental clarity and strong memory. And finally a good night’s sleep is so important to our bodies; we need this time to rest and regenerate and it gives the mind time to store away all those important memories.
And for a really fun way to engage the brain, be sure to login to Mature Singles Dating to read your messages, check out new Members, read profiles and diary entries and send messages of your own.
Body
That NYE resolution to go to the gym seems like a distance memory… either the free trial is over or there just never seems to be enough time in the day! You’ll be surprised how the little things can make a big difference and how easy this is to do. Why not leave the car at home next time you go for the groceries, or get off the bus a few stops early, walk that last extra bit and carry those heavy shopping bags. Arm toning in an instant! You’ll be amazed how good you’ll feel after all those endorphins are released. Ensure you have a healthy and filling breakfast, include some fruit to help you get your 5 a day, swap your morning coffee for an apple, which contains natural sugars and is a healthier alternative to caffeine.
If we’re going to all this effort we need someone to share it with. Seen a member you like on Mature Singles Dating? Make the first move and send a message, or share your new work out tips in your next diary entry!
Soul
Your soul defines your personality, the way you act and feel, and enriching your soul can make your life more fulfilling. Focus on the things that matter to you and make you happy, spending too much time on material possessions can make you lose sight of what’s really important. Holding grudges weigh us down, so try to forgive more – letting go of anger will lift a huge weight off your shoulders and will empower you to take control of your life. When we give, we feel better; we don’t all have the time for volunteer work but just helping out a neighbour or even a stranger with little acts of kindness will not only enrich your soul but the lives of those around you.
For a quick fix good deed, start on Mature Singles Dating! Make someone’s day by sending them a compliment or maybe include a gift with your message just to put a smile on their face… One smile can have a big impact and you never know, they may even return the favour.
We’ve received a lot of Dating Dilemmas & really enjoyed reading them; we wish we could reply to them all, but here are a couple of Dilemmas that stood out from the crowd:
“Hi, how do I add a picture to my profile from a digital camera? Or can I send you a photo in the post that you can put on my profile for me? Thanks, Patrick.”
Patrick, they say a picture is worth a thousand words and this couldn’t be more true when it comes to pictures on your profile. Photos are so important and they can help improve your responses on the site tenfold. There are a few ways you can upload those all important pictures; this can be done either through the site itself in the photo section of your profile, via email to photos@globalpersonals.co.uk or by post. If you require the address or any further assistance just contact our friendly Customer Care Team via your Support Inbox and they’ll be happy to help!
“Sometimes I feel very lonely – I have replied to many men on “sitename”, who have shown interest in me, but I get no response. Hope you can help, Roz.”
Firstly, and most importantly, the thing you need to remember with online dating is that rejection is never personal, they don’t know the real you yet and are only rejecting the message you sent them. There are many features that you can use to help increase the interest in your profile, as a full Member you can have up to 10 photos and it helps if these are changed often as this gives Members a bigger picture of who you are. Submitting video diaries and written diary entries is a great way of creating interest in your profile, as not only does this show that you are an active Member but also allows other Members to get to know you a little bit more. The same goes for your personal profile – regularly updating this information will also help to increase the level of activity on your profile and, in turn, increase your chances of success. Why not use the Recommended Members section and send out your own initial messages to Member profiles that you like?
