EPISODE 85: Date Yourself: How To Feel Confident Taking Yourself Out

Buckle up as we dive into a topic that might make you a bit jittery: dating yourself. Remember those times when the thought of going out solo filled you with anxiety? Well, I've been there, and in this episode of The Confidence Show Podcast, I'm sharing my personal journey from overwhelming anxiety to confidently taking myself out.

Here's what we covered:

1. Overcoming Anxiety: I recount a period in my life, about 12 years ago, when anxiety kept me confined to my home. Even a simple trip to the grocery store seemed daunting. 

2. Life-Altering Decision: Discover how I transformed my life by embracing solo travel. I threw myself into the unknown, quit my 9-5, and embarked on an 18-month journey that reshaped my mindset and boosted my confidence.

3. Importance of Quality Time: I emphasise the significance of spending quality time with yourself, even when in a relationship. Sharing personal experiences, I highlight the role of quality time in self-love.

4. Facing Judgments: Reflecting on my first solo dinner, I discuss the anxieties that plagued me, from fearing judgment to worrying about what others might think. Spoiler alert: People were likely too absorbed in their meals to care.

5. Practical Tips for Solo Dates: I share actionable tips for those nervous about solo adventures, including how to guarantee you commit to the date, how to boost confidence before the solo date and what I do to distract myself if I'm feeling self conscious.

If you're ready to conquer the fear of solo outings and unlock a new level of self-confidence, tune in now. Trust me; it's time to date yourself!
