By taking actions!\u00a0 Here are a few things we help the women we work with do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Determine and declare the type of relationship you are committed to creating.\u00a0 This is an essential first step.\u00a0 Unless you are clear about the type of relationship you are <b>committed <\/b>to creating, fear, memories, and resentments from the past will creep in and convince you that you are doing too much, wasting your time, or not worthy of the love you desire and deserve.<\/li>\n<li>Acknowledge when a fear-based thought enters your mind and relate to it as just that: Simply a thought, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not<\/span> reality.<\/li>\n<li>Acknowledge that that thought is coming from the <i>past <\/i>and has <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">nothing<\/span> to do with what is possible for you now or in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Begin to take daily consistent actions regarding how you think, act, and respond to those around you (especially the person you are dating or with whom you are in a relationship).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Breaking free of the past is much easier when you have your sights clearly set on the future you are committed to creating and living in to.\u00a0 When that clarity is there, and when you believe in your heart that you are deserving and capable enough to create that future, there is very little that can stand \u00a0in your way!<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit:\u00a0 via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/melolou\/247956256\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">melolou<\/a> photo.com <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Gladys Diaz Making a commitment to change and do whatever it takes to create the type of relationship you have always wanted \u2013 whether your are single and ready to attract the man who is right for you, or you are already married or in a committed relationship where some of the intimacy has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8,9,13,16,17,21,22,23],"tags":[31,47,50,56,63,68,70,88,90],"class_list":["post-797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dating-2","category-gratitude-2","category-hdi-blog","category-intimacy-2","category-love-2","category-marriage","category-relationship","category-relationship-advice","category-romance","tag-advice","tag-dating","tag-empowerment","tag-happiness","tag-intimacy","tag-love","tag-marriage-2","tag-relationships","tag-romance-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
