Would You Like to Be More Mindful and Purposeful in Your Dating Life?

In this episode, James speaks with Rachel New who is a Dating and Relationship Coach. She teaches all her secrets of mindfulness during the podcast.

Mindful dating is the practice of being self-aware and observing the thoughts and feelings you have when you date.

When you are mindful, you can notice any negative or unhealthy thoughts buzzing around in your head and defuse them with something more positive.

Mindfulness also involves being aware of your body, your gestures, and your appearance when you are out on a date.

You'll learn a great deal about to apply all this to dating during the episode, plus Rachel also talks us through a useful mindfulness meditation.

Rachel New has worked as dating and relationships coach in London, UK for six years. She has a background in research at the University of Oxford in social psychology and writes a blog about the psychology of dating. Rachel takes an evidence-based approach and uses mindfulness, CBT and Gottman Therapy in her coaching. Rachel also writes short stories about dating and technology. Rachel works with all ages, genders, sexual preferences, ethnicities, abilities and backgrounds.
