Clients ask me all the time why when you first meet someone they seem perfect. Then a couple months later the person doesn’t seem perfect at all. Is it that people tell you what you want to hear when your first start dating? We all know people that after one date are so sure the person is the one for them.

We all fall into this trap once or twice. Maybe it is because you want to be in a relationship so bad you will overlook the signs. Or tell yourself it’s better than being alone. Well, that is just not true. It is better to be alone than be with the wrong person. The only person that will lose out is you. Why cheat yourself out of true love?

The only person looking out for you is you. You are your one true best friend and the only person who has your best interest at heart. But this requires strength and trust. I’m always telling clients to honor their inner voice and allow it to guide you because it works. I’m not saying this is easy but with practice you will learn that all the answers you need are within. And when your inner voice is whispering in your ear things like “you deserve better” listen.

I’ve been there and I’m the first one to say that I used to just push aside my inner guide and do what I wanted. And for the most part if I was really in tune with myself I would have made better decisions. Through my coaching training and inner work I have learned to trust and listen to my inner voice no matter how hard it was. So start making better choices for yourself and you will find that you’re a lot stronger than you thought.
