How to have a love story ruled by love and freedom

You are the love you are looking for.

I considered this idea of a healthy, long-lasting and satisfyng love relationship for many years. In this quest, I spent such a long time to study love, relationships, bonding and attachment. I went back to study the origin of love, the moments in our life when we learn to love from our first models. And I observed how we repeat what we don’t repair, how we end up in relationships that are a mold of our previous ones, unless we do something to break this mechanism.

Love is often described as a given. Something you’re supposed to have, as if you could take a person, make him or her yours and get your needs partially satisfied by your partner for a long time.

Why self-love is the key to having the body you love

Today I am really excited to announce the contribution of Cristina Hoyt, directly from NourishMBML to The Brave-Hearted. She is a fabulous Integrative Nutrition Coach from Philadelphia, featured on MindBodyGreen and she is here to share with us the secret to having the body you love. Enjoy her awesome article!

It’s a tricky, winding road when you start to think about self love and body image. The two are intertwined in a way that only our deepest selves can begin to comprehend. And unfortunately, you can’t have one without the other. How can you show yourself love if you’re body shaming? How can you have positive body image if you don’t truly love yourself? You can’t. But I can show you a simple step that is interwoven into our daily lives that you can do every day that will move you in the direction to having both and, to me, it’s the ultimate expression of self love.

Self-esteem, self-confidence and impostor syndrome: what’s the difference?

The mechanism of feeling not good enough is based on a self-belief: the belief that we aren’t good enough in order to be loved and included. Its roots are in the self-identity and how we learnt to value who we are. Based on this belief, we have thoughts which create emotions and make us feel bad about ourselves. That feeling determines how we behave, respond and act in the environment.
