Education
Our caller Jenna is challenged by the fear of not being enough for the next person she dates following a recent breakup. Breakups! They’re never easy. It’s not uncommon to feel insecure about yourself and a little bit intimidated to get back out there in the dating scene. We’ll talk about some practical things that will help Jenna (and others) work through this fear so she can regain her confidence. Here are a few highlights from our discussion: Remember that YOU define you. You’re not defined by other people’s expectations of you. Don’t compare yourself to others; a breakup is an opportunity for transformation and rediscovery. Pain is a temporary feeling. It’s OK to go through the healing process. Spend time alone to re-focus on who you are, what you want, and feeling whole on your own Are you doing things that you enjoy, discovering new activities, and meeting new people? Re-evaluate what you’ve learned and what you’re looking for in a relationship Forgive yourself for the mistakes that you made in your previous relationship Give compassion to your ex too. Don’t hold on to the things that went wrong. Create space for healing and love. Use daily positive affirmations to support your process. Create a no negativity zone. Don’t go back to the past or allow others to take you there. Be kinder to others. Acts of service can be a great self-esteem booster.
