The beginning of a new love can be very exciting at first but it is important to keep your feet on the ground. Otherwise the love can either burn out or spiral out of control and the other areas of your life begin to suffer. So if you want ideas on how to handle a new love follow these tips.

Relax your mind
Clear quartz and lace agate crystals can calm you, so spend time holding one every morning. Frankincense oil is very soothing and helps you to connect with your spirituality.

Do not forget your friends
It may be tempting to spend the whole weekend in bed with your new man but it is important to remember to socialize with your friends. Arrange to see a friend one night per week and do not let them down. You will then appreciate the time you do spend with your man.

Do not panic
Heightened emotions can make you sensitive if he shows a lack of interest. Try not to take things personally – if you feel he is becoming disinterested then sit down and talk to him his reasons may not be what you think.

Get your validation from elsewhere
Many women use their relationships to make them feel good about themselves which is recipe for disaster. It is good to hear compliments from your man but make sure you get your self worth from other sources for example joining a new sports team or taking up an evening course or try to excel in your job.

Keep an open mind
Your new man may seem fantastic but do not get ahead of yourself and begin to plan for the wedding and children just yet. This will push him away and you will become too dependant on him. It is good to foresee the future but do not plan too far ahead.

Hold back on the big gestures
Similarly it nice to buy surprise gifts as long as they not too extravagant for example booking a holiday without talking to him or buying a new car. Save these for when you have a strong relationship and you know him a lot better.

Do not be too possessive
As mentioned before you both need to have separate lives outside the relationship, therefore you need let him enjoy himself with his friends, family etc. For example if he is having a night, out do not ring him constantly throughout the night to check up on him this kind of behaviour will push him away. It is important to be assertive in a new relationship but do not portray yourself as needy or desperate.
