Online dating is an interesting thing and some of these apps are getting so great at making their experience unique. Now you can put these prompts on your photos and videos and it is awesome. But one thing that is a bit of a challenge is talking about yourself and essentially selling yourself to someone who judges you based off of 1-5 sentences. Yea, good luck! It can be a tough process because sometimes our self-talk can actually be a very defeating and challenging place. How do you see yourself? What are your "I am" statements?
In the book Limitless, by Jim Kwik, he says this, "They say the two most powerful words in the English language are the shortest: "I am." whatever you put after those two words determines your destiny." Because of something called, "Priming". When you believe you are a fast learner, then you will act as if you are so. If you believe that you are not worthy of a great relationship and love, then unfortunately you will act in a way that proves you right. Figure out your "I am" statements and write them down - positive or negative. Then rearrange your lists so the positives are at the top and see if you can replace the negative ones with identities that serve you, instead of swerve you (lol I don't even know if that means anything). Kwik also writes, "The highest drive we have is to act consistently with how we perceive ourselves -- it is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. Use it to your benefit."
