Nancy Levin
The New Relationship Blueprint – 10 Steps to Reframe the Way You Love
by Nina from MindGourmet
The paradigm shift: From “You complete me” to “You complement me”
We are the common denominator in all our relationships. We attract people and situations that activate our deepest emotional issues. No one knows better how to push our buttons than the people closest to us.
“No relationship is meant to save you. Instead, it’s meant to grow you,” says bestselling author Nancy Levin in her newest book The NEW Relationship Blueprint. She sees relationships as teachers that help us become more whole and more conscious human beings: “You’ll always unconsciously orchestrate the exact relationship you need in order to learn what your soul wants you to learn in this life.”
“Love is an inside job.“
Our ability to love ourselves equals our ability to love others. This includes taking care of our needs, being kind to ourselves, respecting our non-negotiables and being forgiving with ourselves. We can then gift our partner with these same qualities and be more fully able to receive them from others as well.
In The NEW Relationship Blueprint Nancy writes: “Start holding your own needs as equally important to your partner’s.” and “The new relationship blueprint is about how you love yourself first and foremost. Then the question is how you want to be loved by the other person.”
