episode 110
February is the month of love but I wanted to take this month to focus on one of the most important relationships in our lives, if not the most important, and that is the relationship with ourselves. Dating yourself is all about getting to know YOU. It's about learning to meet your own needs and desires and prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing.
In this episode I discuss:
Choosing a familiar place when you first start dating yourself to provide yourself with some comfort and safety as you go out by yourself for the first time
Going somewhere or doing an activity that doesn't require interaction, like seeing a movie, that way you don't feel awkward about not having anyone to talk to
Finding a place other people often go to alone, like a coffee shop. This will make you feel less alone
If you're nervous to go somewhere but you still really want to try it, go on the slowest night so you don't have to worry about being alone in a crowd
Try not to distract yourself by looking at your screen the whole time and focus on being present
Be consistent with, take yourself on a date at least once a month if you want it to have a profound impact on your life
Choose dates that interest and excite you, get dressed up for yourself and most importantly RELAX
Dating yourself is an act of self-love and self-care. It's an amazing way to get to know yourself and increase your confidence. You totally don't have to be single to date yourself, regardless of your relationship status, carving out time for yourself is beneficially. I hope you treat yourself to a nice date this week!
