Don't Stop Dating Yourself When You Start Dating Someone

Have you ever started dating someone you really like and suddenly your life starts revolving around them? OR maybe you are in a long-term relationship and you feel yourself slipping away?

When we are building romantic relationships with people and become emotionally invested in someone, it can be surprisingly easy to lose touch with ourselves.

In this episode of Centered in the City, I explore how to stay connected to yourself while building a romantic relationship and why healthy dating isn't about becoming less invested, more detached, or "playing it cool."

It's about learning how to love someone without abandoning yourself.

I share practical ways to recognize self-abandonment, maintain your own identity and routines and strengthen self-trust while navigating a (new) relationship.You'll learn how to distinguish between healthy compromise and self-abandonment,and use mindfulness to come back to yourself when dating anxiety takes over.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why dating someone you really like can make you lose touch with yourself
What self-abandonment can look like in romantic relationships
How to stay connected to your friends, routines, interests, and goals while dating
The difference between healthy compromise and abandoning your own needs
Why you don't have to choose between loving someone and loving yourself
