The difference between healthy and unhealthy dating is intention.
You cultivate it by:
-Knowing what you need.
-Setting boundaries.
- Having standards.
-Knowing your worth.
Healthy dating leads to healthy relationships.
How to have a better relationship than 99% of people:
- Be trustworthy
- Be willing AND try
- Make time AND be present
- Commit to learning
- Listen AND talk
- Repair after conflict
Every month, talk about what works and what doesn't. Keep what works.
Have fun along the way.
If you're able to do something but don't have the motivation, nothing happens. If you're not confident in your ability to perform well but you're still willing to try, something will get done. Willing beats able any day of the week.
How are you channeling your effort? If you're distracted with an idea of something you're aspiring to be, it might help to take a step back and focus on the person you already are.
Don't be fooled - doubt often tries to fill the place that faith should. If you let it take priority, you'll sabotage your progress and miss out on the opportunity faith provides to move forward.
Talking to yourself is typically taboo, but therapist and clinical director Jenna Riemersma encourages it. In the last episode of Okay, What's Next? Season 1, we learn about the psychotherapy model Internal Family Systems and how we can understand and help all our "parts."
