Show notes:
In this episode, Allison Jayne Ewing emphasizes the importance of clear boundaries in dating and how she can help individuals stand out from the rest. Setting and sticking to boundaries can be intimidating, especially when societal messaging and the fear of scarcity of potential partners come into play. However, she reassures listeners that these beliefs are illusions and that there is someone out there for everyone.
The host advises listeners to take the time to get clear about their boundaries. before entering the dating scene. This clarity allows individuals to approach dating with purpose and intention, rather than simply going with the flow.
Overall, the episode highlights the importance of clear boundaries in dating and how she can help individuals stand out by attracting partners who are compatible and aligned with their values and desires. It emphasizes the need for self-respect, self-love, and the willingness to prioritize one's own happiness in the pursuit of a fulfilling relationship.
Jayne introduces the technique of tapping, also known as EFT (emotional freedom technique), and how it can be used to calm nerves and increase confidence. Tapping involves using fingertips to tap on specific acupressure points on the body, based on acupuncture principles, to calm the neurological system.
She explains that tapping has been studied and has shown positive effects in reducing anxiety and stress. It helps individuals move out of the fight or flight response and into a calmer state. This can be particularly useful in situations where nerves or anxiety may be present, such as going on a first date. By tapping on the acupressure points, individuals can send calming signals to their body and feel more confident and grounded in the moment.
