At first I hated solo dates.

Fidgeting, adjusting, trying to figure out where to direct my eyes.

But then something clicked: this was an opportunity.

An opportunity to learn how to get comfortable with just being. No scrolling my phone or worrying about how I look.

It was nervous system work. Learning how to steady myself and sit through the awkward feeling that sometimes comes along with doing things alone.

Learning how to toggle my attention both inward and outward

Eventually it became so much easier. I got more comfortable and now I get to tune into the small details of the experience.

And I promise the food tastes so much better when you're alone. 😆

Do you enjoy solo dates?

Yes ma’am!!! ❤️Solo date on a weekly basis!!! Usually Monday or Tuesday (my “off” days), Hubs working, kids at school, I get to enjoy and love on MYSELF! Yes the food tastes better on solo dates because you can take your time and eat in peace and taste the flavors of the food without your kids asking 1000 questions lol 😂
