Dating doesn’t have to feel exhausting

How many times have you heard or said, “Dating is exhausting!"?

I've said it before, but I don't say it much anymore.

How come? 

I figured out that dating doesn't have to be exhausting. (Yaaaayyyy!)

If you're feeling exhausted by dating, you might be doing it wrong. Or, at the very least I can show you how to do it differently in way that doesn't feel like so much work.


How? 
As with most things, “thoughts become things.” Humans operate in a thought > feeling > action cycle (most of the time). 

❌ If you think dating is exhausting, you will feel frustrated as you approach dating. 

❌From that thought and feeling you will get frustrated swiping on profiles, feel like every date you go out on is a potentially big deal and then get disappointed if it isn’t a great fit and think you have to start over, then forget there are loads of other places to meet men or women in person. 

❌Your result: Dating becomes an endless cycle of exhaustion. 



What should you do instead? 
Change the way you think about dating, even if only a little bit. If you have better thoughts, your feelings and actions will follow. For example:

✅ Online dating is simply a way for me to meet new people (see how much 'lighter' this is, without going to toxic positivity?)

✅ Spending time dating is like spending time watching Netflix. If I like the person, I can continue and if I don't, I can find a new person (show) to enjoy. 

✅ I enjoy meeting new people no matter the outcome. 
 

Can you see the difference? 

Just loosening up your thinking around dating will give you such a different and more pleasurable experience when you’re doing it.
