I know you might be like, Brie, what are you saying?

Why would I take myself on a date?

Number one, solo dates are a thing.

Go challenge yourself to be alone.

I think that the fear of lack of love comes from a fear of being alone.

And a lot of that comes from abandonment issues or childhood traumas, all that.

If you can learn how to force yourself out of your comfort zone and give yourself that sense of almost exposure therapy, you will learn that you are your own best company.

So force yourself.

Go on dates by yourself, okay?

Take yourself out to try a new coffee shop.

Take yourself out to eat at a restaurant by yourself, guys.

I think that is like...

exposure therapy final boss for fear of abandonment right like go out by yourself and eat at a restaurant by yourself and this fear of judgment or this need of validation or people liking you completely disappears as soon as you are able to walk out into public and be like okay

i've got everything i need i've got myself i know a lot of people like they don't even want to go grocery shopping by themselves and obviously if it's for safety reasons that's one thing but if it's broad daylight you're in a safe area you let people know where you're going like challenge yourself challenge

challenge yourself to go do these things by yourself and stop being codependent on others.

Another thing would be to sit in solitude.

With our phones, we've become so afraid of sitting in silence, so afraid of not having constant distractions because the noise in your brain and your heart, it does get really loud.

And sometimes God might be telling you something that you don't want to hear and

We are conditioned to live with constant noise and constant distraction around us so that we don't sit and realize things.

And so my challenge for you is to sit and realize things.
