~Knowing the Authentic You FIRST~

• Ask yourself these questions:

  • Are you truly ready?

  • What is your motivation for wanting a partner? Is it security? Companionship? Social Pressure? No judgment here, often love (or the promise of) just finds us, there is an interest then infatuation begins. What’s your motivation in going the distance?

  • Does being without a partnership make you feel lonely? Often, we can settle for a partnership that really doesn’t serve us because we are uncomfortable being alone. Being alone can be one of the biggest joys in life when you come to realize that you are never truly alone. Choosing a partner because you are lonely, is a concerning reason to embark in a relationship. Instead, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself first. You will have so much more to offer another.

  • What is it about you that makes you amazing? What do you have to offer?

  • How well do you know yourself? Can you be honest about what you have to offer?

  • Do you have clear boundaries or are you willing to compromise without settling? Boundaries are huge in the success of any relationship. They are our guideposts for the ones we love. They tell others how to love us.

  • Do you feel safe to be vulnerable? Feeling safe in vulnerability is a critical aspect of fostering a healthy partnership.

  • Can you truly be yourself or are you pretending?

  • What are your personal needs going into a potential relationship?

• These are all important questions to be asking yourself before going into a partnership. Getting to know yourself, can impact the likely hood of success in a lasting relationship. Want to explore more? Lets talk!
