How to Act & Feel Confident Before a First Date

You’ve matched with someone, had a bit of a chat back and forth, and they’ve asked you out on a date - yayyy! Whilst you’re excited at the prospect of meeting them face to face, there’s a part of you that feels anxious and worried about making a good first impression.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous before meeting someone for the first time and in this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I’m sharing how to act and feel confident before a first date so you can leave the anxiety at home and focus on having fun with your latest match.

Here are the key topics we cover:

1. Act Confident: Taken from the third core principle of The 90/90 Mindset Concept, we look at the Act Confident layer which is all about practical actions you can take to help you act confident on a first date. 

2. Feel Confident: We explore how the Feel Confident layer is about nurturing inner confidence. I reveal the techniques I use to get my energy into a confident state before a first date.

3. Confidence Anchors: Discover the importance of confidence anchors and how they can enhance your self-assuredness to help you create a lasting impression on your date.

4. Mirror Work: Learn the power of looking at yourself in the mirror and understand how this simple practice can help you connect with your inner self to reinforce your self-esteem.

5. Feel-Good Rituals: Find out how playing your favourite songs or listening to a grounding meditation can calm pre-date jitters and leave you feeling energised.

6. Adaptability: Understand that these confidence layers can be applied not only to dating but to various aspects of life. It's about empowering yourself to exude confidence in any situation.

I'm thrilled to share these confidence-building techniques with you, so you can approach every date with a newfound sense of self-confidence. Remember, you've got this!
