The Crucial Struggle that Needs Victory Prior to Achieving Your Authentic Romantic Dream
Ready to conquer your romantic past and find the love you truly deserve? Here's a battle plan based on insights from renowned relationship expert, Katherine Woodward Thomas.
First off, recognize and break free from the repetitive patterns in your romantic history that stem from unhealed emotional wounds. It's about understanding and accepting the influence of your past on your attachment style, and energetically inviting the right person into your life.
- Embrace the truth about your past emotions and losses that were never acknowledged
- Practice self-compassion in the face of your inner toxic self-talk that mirrors how you were spoken to growing up
- Acknowledge the role your past has played in shaping who you are today but don't let it define you
While understanding your past is essential, that alone won't change your life. You need to envision a positive, hopeful future instead of lingering on the pain of the past. Focusing on who you were in the past keeps the wounded child in control of your life and love.
Shift your focus to who you want to be, the adult who embraces happiness and a sense of belonging. Take steps to intentionally develop this self-identity and transform your life from the inside out.
Changing your self-identity can be as easy as asking, "How old am I now?" in the third person. It's a question that can help you recognize when you're still controlling your life with the wounded child, and help you embrace the adult who moves forward with purpose and self-love.
Don't just practice self-care when you're feeling beat down by life, aim for self-love instead. Self-care helps nurture your wounds, but self-love embraces your worthiness and transforms your identity from one controlled by the past to one that thrives in the present.
So, say goodbye to the wounded child and hello to the empowered adult as you embark on this courageous journey toward finding the love you truly deserve!
