Ten Tips To Find Great Dates
By: Tonja Weimer
Would you like to know how to find great dates? Would you like one of those dates to lead to falling in love and staying in love? The path to those goals is an inside job. Here are ten terrific tips that will lead you to the one who is waiting for you:
1. Ask yourself everyday, “What do I want?”
Finding great dates takes some action steps. To build your confidence level, set some simple goals for just one thing that you want. Make a list of the actions it will take to achieve that goal.
2. Explore your passions.
What do you LOVE to do? What gives you energy, makes you smile to think about, or seems like a dream that could never come true? What did you always want to do but never got around to doing it? What would it take for you to move closer to doing one of your passions or finding one of your forgotten dreams?
3. Watch your thoughts—they lead to your actions.
If you notice your thoughts are negative, replace them with ones that make you feel good. Spend 20 minutes every day thinking of things that make you happy,–places you want to visit, people you want to be with, objects you would like to own. Picture yourself there. FEEL it.
4. Take actions that keep your mood and thoughts in a positive place.
Read books that inspire, watch TV that makes you laugh or gives you hope, and be around people that feed your spirit. Weed the rest out. Do not start or end your day watching news filled with tragic stories.
5. Re-define your purpose and vision for your life.
The purpose of your life needs to be very clear. It’s who you are and how people identify you. Exercise your creativity to re-invent any part of yourself or your life.
6. Have a career that feeds you.
You need enough money for your lifestyle, pride about what you are doing, and excitement for your day. If you feel at a stand-still in your work and career, brainstorm with people about ideas for a career shift. Don’t stop searching until you find something that you feel excitement for and if you can’t do it alone, get a coach.
7. Reach out to people and build a network of support.
If you are having a bad moment in life and doubt your worth or contribution to others, make a list of five friends and call them and ask them to tell you what you mean to them. This is a very powerful exercise. I guarantee you will never forget it.
8. Exercise.
You have to take care of your body so your body can take care of you and take you where you want to go. Besides—it gives you energy and is a mood elevator.
9. Meditation and prayer.
They both have a profound affect on mental and physical health.
10. Consider adopting a pet.
Pets give us unconditional love, 24/7.
Your new dates are waiting for you just around the corner. Do some of the above and watch the dates materialize. You can do it.
