Day 2 of Maria's Dating 101 (Stay the Course)

Hello,

I'm back!  How did the writing go?  Did you find clarity as the pen touched the paper and the thoughts, feelings and ideas unfolded?  Maybe, you felt blocked.  I would suggest if you felt any kind of blockages, to write about those and remember to include your feelings as you write.  You want to be able to recognize the blocks so you can remove them.

How did taking the selfie go?  Did you have fun?  If you're like me, it takes a really LONG time to take the perfect selfie.  Remember you are publishing this for others to see so you want your selfie to be great.  If you had your friend take the selfie, then did you like the picture?  Friends are great!  Especially when they are supporting you on your adventure.

Today I thought I would talk about "Staying the Course." What does this mean, you ask?  I'll share with you what it means for me.

When you are on the dating apps, it's easy to be flattered because someone is finally paying attention to you.  Maybe they are flirting with you online.  They say all the right things and you begin to feel those warm fuzzy feelings that happen during the beginning stages of dating.

Those feelings are great, because it means you are opening up to the possibility that maybe, just maybe there is someone out there in this great big Universe that is perfect for you.

I will suggest you go back to the notebook and re-read what you wrote.  Before you get in too deep or dive right into a situation with another person, take a look at what you wrote.  I know for me, this grounds me back into reality and after being reminded of what I really want I can continue forward.

There will be many, many distractions as you embark of this adventure.  That's normal.  It's up to you to decided to take a detour or STAY THE COURSE.  The easier path will always be to follow the diversions because they are easy and fun.  Staying grounded in what you want, well that takes courage and determination.

As always, there are no right or wrong answers. Only you know what is best for you.  If you take the detours you can always come back to the path you truly want.  Staying the Course, being steady in what you want will always move you closer to the end results.

Today's writing assignment - remember the notebook and pen.  Go find them and find the very best spot to write in and sit down.  Close your eyes, get quiet and take several deep breaths and begin to write.  We are going to write about what it feels like to STAY THE COURSE.  What does it smell like?  What does it feel like?  What do you look like?  What does the end result look like?  Keep writing.  Let everything come out.  The creative juices are flowing.  You got this!

I hope that the rest of your day is blessed and filled with all the goodness you will allow.  Here is today's dating tip:

Always be true to yourself.  You're beautiful and created just as you are suppose to be.  That perfect partner is out there.  Believe in You.

xoxo
