Being single is treated like something to escape, like something's wrong with you. But what if we stopped thinking of it that way? In this episode, I'm sharing the exact exercise I did after leaving my 6-year relationship that completely changed how I approached dating. I'm sharing the reflection questions I used to build my own security while actively dating, so you can do the same. This episode will help you re-frame urgency and desperation around just finding your person already.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- If I don't like it here, where should I live?
- How do I want to spend my time? What do I want my lifestyle to be?
- How will I make my life meaningful without a romantic relationship?
- What kind of friend and daughter do I want to be?
- How will I show up for the people in my life?
- How do I want to spend my money and what are my financial goals as a single person?
- If I don't meet anyone in the next few years, will I choose to have kids on my own?
- If I don't get married, what does the best version of my life look like?
