CATCH MATCHMAKING

It is often our very own beliefs that limit the progress we're striving to achieve. If you’re single and feel you’re too busy to drive across town, cross a bridge, or connect with someone on video call to start, this video is for YOU! We live in a different world now. Practically effective overnight with the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, more than half of workers began working from home at least part of the time according to Gallup. Additional surveys found that at least a quarter of those employees early in the pandemic worked outside their home state or country. Thanks to remote and hybrid work, many Americans no longer live close to where they work. Many have traded longer commutes and embraced short flights to attend in-person office meetings and corporate events in exchange for bigger homes outside of urban cities or second homes closer to recreational activities. These work-living distances obviously impact the dating and relationship landscape as well. For many of my clients, who have a lot to offer and have high expectations of a potential partner, and yet so busy - “geographically undesirable” labels that they place on eligible matches is what gets in the way of finding love. Watch my video where I share a client story about possibilities for YOU. This story embodies a lesson that even changed my own limiting beliefs as a professional matchmaker. Finding love can really strike anywhere, so don’t limit yourselves! #possibilities #dating #dontlimityourself #limitingbeliefs

I often share with a lot of newly separated singles, "be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid of standing still." (Chinese Proverb) For newly separated singles, this proverb is especially relevant.?After a breakup, the process of finding a new partner can feel daunting.?It’s easy to become overwhelmed or hesitant. The idea of going slowly promotes a great opportunity for new singles to take the time to heal and rediscover themselves. This prevents rushing into a new relationship out of fear of loneliness. To foster your confidence and clarity, embrace these small steps: 1) Explore new interests and hobbies. 2) Meet new people without expectations or attachments. 3) Make space for quiet time, such as reading, writing, walking and reflecting. This proverb is also reminder for everyone in general, that progress is still progress, even if it feels incremental. The real danger lies in remaining stuck in the past, which can prevent personal growth and connection with others. By focusing on movement, no matter how slow, you can forge a path toward new relationships while honoring your journey of healing. How do you heal and move on from separations? #opportunity #separation #singles #dating #coaching #chineseproverbs

Are you about tough or fluff? Today, I'd say we need more of this type of grit found in the love story below. Enjoy this recount about power of perseverance over all odds. "Your grandfather proposed to me with a piece of candy. We had nothing, he knelt down and told me: I have nothing now, just a piece of candy, but if you want we can build everything together. And you? I opened the candy, divided it in two and we ate it. From that moment we divided and shared everything. We fell, we got up and we build. All together. We have experienced difficult moments, tiredness, but we have always been there for each other. Until the last breath. Time does not change the way of loving. What has changed is that you no longer have beautiful examples to follow. Now they are afraid of everything. They do not marry for fear of not being able to build. As soon as they fight, they leave because then they think they are going to find a better one. They always look for perfection, as if it existed. They miss the perception of reality. Of happiness in the little things. They do this big demo, thousand-dollar rings, over-the-top video for marriage proposals, and then they miss the moment. That intimate thing that you keep in two, only in two for a lifetime. This is what they lack. The courage to live life and love for what they are and not for how they imagine it. With a candy, love and courage, you have for a life together." Do you know of someone with this type of 'grit'? What does it take to develop perseverance and courage? #grit #perseverance #courage #success #love #singles #coaching

Improving dating skills is a lot like karate training. If you don’t receive feedback and practice properly, you cannot be effective. You will just wear yourself out. Whether you're starting over or a "seasoned" dater, feedback can help you learn from your experiences, grow your skillset, and make you more self-aware. Similarly, those who adapt a "beginner's mindset" in karate get faster, stronger, and more dynamic. More importantly, an aura of confidence and self-assurance follows after regular practice. Seek feedback and coaching that is constructive: ? Actionable ? Specific ? Helps you identify strengths ? Supportive Avoid feedback and coaching that is negative: ? Vague ? Harsh ? Identifies only weaknesses and mistakes ? Discouraging #coaching #dating #single #karate #mindset #success #feedback #constructive #monday #motivation #startingover #divorce

Keeping the love going in a long term relationship is not always easy. But anything that is worth having does not come easy! This advertising booklet for newlyweds was published in 1929. But, this message is as relevant today as it was over 95 years ago! These are the hardest parts about relationships ( time tested since 1929!): IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY ??To apologize, ??To being over, ??To admit error, ??To be unselfish ??To take advice, ??To be charitable, ??To be considerate, ??To keep on trying, ??To think and then act, ??To forgive and forget, ??To shoulder a deserved blame, BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS. #coaching #love #marriage #relationships #persevere #happiness #kindness #persistence #success #relationshipadvice #timeless
