In this episode, I reflect on a transformative realisation about dating: sometimes, our obsession with a partner isn’t about them at all—it’s about how incredible *we* are.
After watching a TikTok that highlighted this, I began to look differently at my dating experiences. I now notice that the excitement and fulfilment I feel often comes from my own energy and personality, not necessarily the person I’m dating. I explore how this perspective can empower us to enjoy dating more fully and choose partners who truly match our worth.
Here's an overview of what we discussed:
1. Self-Worth in Dating: Understanding how our excitement often stems from our own confidence, not the other person
2. Avoiding Obsessive Attachment: Recognising when attachment is based on personal feelings, not the partner’s qualities
3. Reflecting on Personal Value: Learning to appreciate how much we contribute to enjoyable dates and moments
4. Empowered Dating Choices: Using self-awareness to avoid settling for partners who don’t truly align with our needs
Join me in this episode for a fresh look at dating through the lens of self-worth, and feel free to share if this resonates with your own experiences!
