After my partner asked me out for the first time, I started mentally spiraling about what to do and say over dinner.
After two marriages that ended in divorce, I was terrified of ending up in another disastrous relationship.
Then my friend Patti said:
If it feels good, keep going.
If it feels bad, run away.
If you don't know how it feels, pay close attention.
Her advice stopped my spirals cold, Reader.
I stopped planning what to say and do. Mentally rehearsing conversations we could have.
I started paying close attention to how I felt. Practicing for doing it on our date.
It's incredibly tempting to focus on someone’s potential. Do they tick enough of our boxes?
We imagine what it would be like to live with them, wondering if they could be The One.
Instead of actually being with them. In the moment.
Listening to our experience with our whole body. Ears, shoulders, chest, and gut.
Your body knows the truth. Trust what it tells you.
​
Sending you peace of mind, always,
Jenni
