How Your Dating Psychology Can Affect Your Love Life
Today I wanted to highlight one of my favorite authors, and post a blog from her website. Dr. Paulette Sherman, author of Dating From the Inside Out, has a terrific website called My Dating School with many resources for the single person.
Last night we rented a Netflix movie from 1981 called ‘Modern Romance’ starring Albert Brooks. It focused on a man who was ambivalent about relationships and commitment. He went back and forth continually about the woman he was dating, driving her crazy in the process. His neuroticism was palpable and it was clear that the drama was mostly within him, not in their relationship. I will warn you that this movie feels old in that it moves slowly compared to films made today. You will have to have patience to get through it (and it may annoy you) but it does present a good picture of how one’s dating psychology can impact their love success. (more…)
Hillary Rubin: Let Go Of Your Social Anxiety
Yoga teacher Hillary Rubin teaches us to let down the masks that create your anxiety by being transparent in relationships – this builds trust & love.
For most of my life I put on masks to fit into circles of friends or to get a job and began to lose myself. I have found that as children we are seeking our identity outside as we are still forming physically, emotionally, and if we are lucky, spiritually.
I went from being the tomboy, to the tomboy princess to the NY fashionista to the LA yoga teacher. There are many more roles I play that we all play in life. And the question is are they all you. I used to think not because I would hide who I was behind to fit in. Even as an adult I did this. Only my really close friends would see my quirky playful side and this was few and far between.

It Shall Be Done, Sometime, Somewhere!
You may have read our managing editor’s post a couple of weeks ago about her favorite Beyond Words book, Sixty Seconds, by Phil Bolsta. Today we present a blog post from Phil, about making space for love in your life.
Veronica was beautiful and accomplished but there were many nights when she cried herself to sleep, wondering if she would ever find her soulmate. My friend Jack was also going through a difficult time; his wife had announced she wanted a divorce and he was still reeling from the shock.
A couple months after Jack’s separation, he received a Facebook friend request from the girlfriend who broke his heart at nineteen. It was Veronica. She had suddenly felt compelled to track him down, fully expecting him to be happily married with a family. Still, it would be comforting for her to at least say hello and wish him a good life. Veronica’s timing was impeccable. Jack told me that he had never expected to hear from her again and that her message had really brightened his day. (more…)
