S13S8 - Confidence: Life, Dating, and Whole

Send us Fan MailDating confidence involves believing in your value as a person and feeling comfortable in your own skin while dating. It's about approaching dating with a positive attitude and a willingness to take risks, rather than focusing on perceived flaws or the expectations of others. Ultimately, confidence is about recognizing your worth and being able to express yourself authentically. Building Dating Confidence:Focus on self-improvement:Engage in activities that boost your self-esteem, such as pursuing hobbies, working on fitness goals, or learning new skills. Practice self-compassion:Be kind and understanding towards yourself, especially when facing setbacks or rejections. Set boundaries:Establish clear limits on your time and energy, and don't be afraid to say no to things that don't align with your values. Develop a pre-date routine:Create a ritual that helps you relax and feel grounded before a date, such as listening to music, practicing meditation, or engaging in a mindful exercise. Visualize success:Imagine yourself having a positive and fulfilling date, and focus on the positive outcomes you desire. Remember that everyone is nervous:Acknowledge that dating can be nerve-wracking for everyone, and try to be understanding of your date's emotions. Focus on connection:Prioritize getting to know your date's personality and interests, rather than trying to impress them. Be authentic:Allow your true self to shine, and don't try to be someone you're not. Don't take rejection personally:Remember that not everyone is going to be a good match, and focus on learning from each experience. Seek support:Connect with friends, family, or a therapist for guidance and encouragement. This week we would like to highlight HealthyPlace if you would like to learn more or donate click the link below https://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/buildingselfesteem/2018/02/how-to-start-dating-with-confidencePlease leave a comment and review our episode and give some feedback on what we can improve on!Thank You All For Listening and DownloadingWe drop an episode every ThursdayFollow us on all of our socialsSupport the showThe 988 Lifeline988 is now active across the United States.
