What if You Missed a Soul Connection?

What if You Missed a Soul Connection?

What if you missed a Soul Connection?

Life is a beautiful journey.  A journey to be embraced, to experience deeply and to love wholeheartedly.  I’m convinced people miss soul connections by being close minded to the world.  When we stay in our own little closed off bubble to the rest of the world we miss out on the beauty that was designed just for us to experience.  We miss beautiful experiences, places and people. I am always awestruck by the people I get to connect with across the world. The lifestyles, the accents, the people fascinate me.  What if we looked at love and soul connections with a more open mind and heart? Would we love more? Would we find love faster and fall deeper? Would we experience breathtaking passion more than heartbreak?  I’m some how convinced we would. So let’s focus on living with vulnerability and wholeheartedness. Approach each potential connection with an open mind of what the connection could bring into your life. Don’t dare miss your next soul connection.  

5 ways you might miss a soul connection:

  1. You limit your demographic connection.  The world is full of possibilities and beautiful connections.  If we limit our connections to our own town or city then we are missing out on so many beautifully designed people.  People who could spark something in our soul that we have never experienced before. People who could bring us new experiences.  Never limit connection by demographics. I have talked to the most amazing people across the world. They broaden my world and make me crave new experiences.  The world has so much to teach us, it would be a shame to narrow our possibilities all for convenience.

2.  You keep your expectations unreachable.  When looking for a soulmate experience it is important to stay true to your values, core beliefs and self.  However, don’t let superficial reasons get in the way of connecting with another soul. People often limit connections based solely on someone’s appearance or on a false impression.  We forget to dig into who the person really is and we disregard the person before really learning about who they are. We may miss the most beautiful souls due to superficial rejections.  Are you really willing to miss the most amazing love affair of your life due to someone not having the exact height or hair color that you seek?

3.  Social circles may influence who we keep out of our lives.  Don’t let your friends determine your love life. If the kind hearted country boy steals your city girl heart go with it.  Soulmate romantic love can be rare. When you find it cherish it.

4. We make limitations on age.  I often see women put limitations on age.  For example, even though a woman may be pushing 40, she won’t date a man over 40.  This cuts the dating pool dramatically. When we make such tight expectations on who we will and will not date we lower our chances of finding a soulmate and just a date in general.

5. We stay focused on our phone instead of the people around us.  Make it a point to stay off your phone while in line for coffee, look up, smile and say hello to those standing near you.  My conscious thought is what if I miss a connection, a life changing connection. You never know who will cross your path and I would hate to miss a soul connection because I was disengaged in the world around me.

We miss out on beautiful soul connections that will rock our world by the high expectations we place on finding the ideal partner.  Soul connections offer us growth, passion, love or just teach us a beautiful lesson. Sometimes the connection comes from the most unexpecting person.  We need to keep our heart open so that we do not miss these divine connections. What would it look like if we traveled through life with an open heart and mind so that we embrace the beauty that comes before us?  That is a life worth living.

Are You Committed or Interested?

Are You Committed or Interested?

Here’s the thing if you don’t make the commitment in anything in life you’re not going to succeed.  That means failed relationships, failed businesses, failed health and failed dreams.  I’ve been there. I’ve made the half ass commitment and seen dreams disappear and relationships fail.  It wasn’t until recently that the half ass commitment mentality hit me. Since this is a page all about relationships I’ll relate it to that but we can half ass anything in life. 

You can’t have a successful relationship without committing to the process. You can’t half ass the relationship and expect great results. You have to put your whole ass in.  It’s the same with trying to find a relationship. I have people come to me wanting to use my services but they can’t even commit to a consultation call!  They don’t make the commitment to make the call time work with their schedule, they don’t show up for the call, the don’t show up to do the work. But they still complain about their dating life.  They wonder why they aren’t finding high quality commitment minded dates.  They wonder what they’re doing wrong.  They wonder why they keep falling into the same dating patterns with no success.  It’s because of the half ass mentality.  They are not showing up to do the work.  I can immediately see why it’s not working for them. They’re not committed they’re just interested. 

You have to become committed to the process in whatever you want in life. If you don’t you’ll see failure more than success.  You have to become committed to becoming the best version of yourself, identifying what isn’t working, making the change, being committed to the change and continue to move forward.  Commitment is not easy.  It comes with icky “holy moly that limiting behavior is still in me” constant growth ah ha moments.   

How are you going to show up in your dating life? Are you committed to finding someone and creating an amazing life giving relationship? Or are you just interested in the thought of dating, possibly finding someone?  

Do some deep soul searching when answering that question.  I had to recently.  I had the ah ha holy moly that limiting belief is still in me.  I immediately recognized that it was holding me back.  I was not committed to a process in a particular situation in my life.  And I hadn’t been for years because of past heartbreak.  When I recognized it, it was the most freeing feeling and it felt damn good to get it out there and begin the process of growth.

If you’re committed to the process of finding high quality dates and finding the one it’s time to get to work.  Men don’t magically fall from the trees.  Show up, become the best version of yourself and see the shift start to take place.

Don’t Social Media Stalk

Don’t Social Media Stalk

I felt like I had to put this out there because I don’t know how many times someone saw my online dating profile and then searched for my social media pages.  I think it’s totally okay to check out someone’s social media accounts, it gives an extra glimpse into who they are. However, I highly recommend not to message them on the online dating site and then on all their social media accounts and then message them again when they don’t respond… Yes I’ve had that happen on several occasions.  It looks creepy and gives out the wrong vibe.  I even had a couple guys get mad at me for not responding to them after I obviously didn’t swipe right on Tinder.  I’m like “I don’t even know you!”

So when it comes to online dating don’t cyber stalk.  If someone doesn’t respond to your first or second message or your right swipe don’t track them down on social media.  Cyber stalking looks desperate, is creepy and will not win you a date.  However it might win you a restraining order.  If you’re not getting a response from one person just move on to the next.  You’ll connect with the right person.  You can’t force a connection that’s not there.  Also keep yourself safe from cyber stalking.  If you have an erry feeling about someone delete them and don’t respond.

Also resist the urge to social media stalk someone new that you’re dating.  Why are you checking up on someone that you’re newly dating?  It’s easy to take things that you see on social media and over analyze what’s actually going on.  I’ve seen many people cause unnecessary drama in a new relationship over something they saw on social media.  Get to know someone for who they are not for what you see online.  Unless of course their social media is filled with pictures of them and their spouse or any other major red flags! Then you know just to run in the opposite direction.  Otherwise if they seem quite normal then let social media go for a while and get to know them.
