So, taking the last month to travel has allowed me to let go, sink into gratitude and focus on all the amazing things that are already in my life. (Though ask me again after two weeks in a camper…)

But I have to admit, at points it's feels like a huge contrast to how things can feel at home. Because so often, we forget to slow down and smell the roses, instead we can approach life, and love, like it's a battlefield. 

And I know this is true for my clients - dating can feel like you're entering the boxing ring, trying to suss out your opponent. Your defenses are up, you're scanning for the red flags, waiting for the ghosting or the fall out. 

But truthfully, it's very hard to find love from this place: like attracts like. So we need to be able to lower the defenses enough to approach dating with warmth and love and soften enough to let people in. 

But how do we even start? Well, when we’re looking to manifest love, we have to surround ourselves with it. 

So, here are 10 easy ways to create more love in your life, that have nada to do with dating. 
 

👉 Every morning tell yourself “I'm open to giving and receiving love” 

👉 Note down positive encounters with people each day and any acts of love you notice 

👉 Remember that you're connected to everyone and everything, so act with kindness and non-judgment 

👉 Strike up a convo with someone you'd usually ignore 

👉 Give compliments freely and receive them with grace 

👉 Make eye contact and smile at people who pass you by, allowing for further connection 

👉 Pick up your phone and check in with people you care about and love 

👉 Give to charity, give back or do something for someone else

👉 Spend time with friends, family or people who feed your soul 

👉 Slow down and smell the roses (literally), noticing the small moments! 

Let me know how it feels to spend the week like this! 

P.S. Tingz for this year…
