My Messy Journey Trying Those Virgo Love Tips
Okay, so I stumbled on this list for Virgos wanting a better 2025 love life. Figured, hey, I’m a classic Virgo – organized, analytical, maybe a tad critical sometimes. Why not give it a shot myself and track what happens? Might help someone else avoid my stumbles.
Tip #1 Was About Letting Go of Overthinking:
Yeah, right. Me? Not overthink? First, I way overthought how to stop overthinking. Classic. Saw it said to write down worries instead of letting them spin. Okay. Bought a fancy notebook. Wrote down every tiny doubt: Was my partner bored last night? Did my text sound weird? Filled three pages. Then panic-set in. “Is this too much writing? Does this count as more overthinking?” Total Virgo trap. The notebook is now buried under other planners. Win? Maybe half a point for trying.
Next Up: Tip #2 Said “Plan Spontaneity.”
I see the irony. But they insisted! “Virgos need structure, so schedule unexpected fun!” So last Wednesday, I blocked out 7 PM: SURPRISE ACTIVITY. Decided to suddenly cook a fancy meal instead of our usual pizza. Sounds good? Not so much. Forgot I had a work call run late. Burnt the sauce trying to multitask. Partner came home to smoke alarms and a stressed-out me holding a scorched pan. So much for surprise romance. We laughed later, ordered pizza. Lesson learned? Maybe schedule less pressure. “Surprise pizza” might’ve gone smoother.
Finally, Tip #3: Practice Self-Appreciation, Not Criticism.
This one hit hard. We Virgos beat ourselves up, yeah? So every morning I stood in the bathroom mirror, looked myself dead in the eye, and tried to say one nice thing. Felt so awkward! Day one: “Uh… your hair looks okay today?” Bare minimum. Day two: “Your spreadsheet skills are… solid?” Better? Still felt weird. By day five, after forcing out “You remembered to feed the cat! Good job!”, I actually chuckled. It was ridiculous sounding. But weirdly, starting small did shift something. Instead of immediately noticing the messy counter, I caught myself thinking, “Laundry folded, decent.” Tiny progress.
So, Did Any of It Stick?
- The overthinking notebook? Probably gonna collect dust.
- “Planned spontaneity”? Needs major tweaking. Smaller surprises!
- The mirror thing? Still feels silly saying nice things to myself, but I am noticing the self-critic less often. That’s big for me.
Honestly? 2025 isn’t magically fixed. But trying this stuff made me see my Virgo patterns clearer. Less beating myself up for failing the “perfect” implementation. Progress, not perfection. That’s gotta count for something, right? Just wish the fancy notebook was returnable.
