I love a nice bunch of flowers but am I acting according to my values if I start the relationship again based on flowers and excuses? 1. Everything is about him He is whispering sweet words and is so sorry about what he did. He promised he will really never ever do that again. Then he covers us with compliments and praise. He is repeating that we are so important to him. Because his words are actually centered on him. He needs us, we are essential to his life, we are bringing so much value to it. He apologizes and showers us with excuses again. Maybe his excuses are valid by the way. But does it really change something? Does it change the fact that he has everything to obtain from us and nothing to offer? 2. You are offering him so much If giving to me is about showering me with compliments, I will pass this one. I am not looking for a relationship to boost my ego thank you very much. I am always wary of excessive praise anyway. 3. Is love about boosting the ego? Here, contrary to my past self, I am asking myself a question: why am I so important for him? Because he can obtain a lot from me? Because I am useful to him? Because I help him? However, does he really have the will and the ability to give something in return? 4. Giving and receiving I am going to give and I love giving, but I will not receive anything. Is it really what I want to experience? I already experienced such a situation in the past. For the first time in my life my friend my sister, I am not worried about being alone by refusing to be in a relationship with such a man. As a very wise woman once told me: "You are never alone when you are with yourself". And most of all, I have this fierce joy inside my heart, which I frankly did not expect, as if the Universe was whispering to me: "You passed the test I sent you. You did not fall into the ego trap. Therefore, you are ready to receive love in your life and experience a healthy relationship in which you give and also receive". 5. Your worth You too deserve more than that my friend my sister. You deserve the best. #sweetwords #whenyourexcomesback #yourworth Discover my first book The Knot in the Spiral, available for you on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HryHxH More resources for you on http://www.clairesamuel.com For over 10 years, I have been getting my raw chocolate and more delicious raw vegan essentials at Raw Living: http://prz.io/XZYavBsK I teach French online, book a lesson: https://preply.com#_prefNjY0NzM3 Follow me on Instagram @clairesamuelenglish If you appreciate my work, I am very very very grateful for your support: https://clairesamuel.com/give/ and https://paypal.me/ClaireSamuel Thank you my friend my sister.

Exercise I started my day with a great workout thanks to Pamela Reif, who my daughter introduced me to. I change the video every day. Today I did the “15 MIN FULL BODY HIIT WORKOUT - burn lots of calories / No Equipment I Pamela Reif” https://youtu.be/1skBf6h2ksI. If you like fitness videos “no talk” (the coach doesn't speak), then Pamela is for you too! Honestly my friend my sister, I see a big difference since I intensified my morning sports routine. For 7 years I have been doing yoga every day first thing in the morning with Yoga With Adriene https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene. But adding high intensity fitness, doing abs and booty training is the next level and I feel so good about myself right now with this new morning routine. Take time for yourself My friend my sister, you may have noticed that I can no longer make videos every day, as I did for 3 years. In 2018, I even made two videos a day, four in reality because I record everything in both French and English languages. Today I can no longer follow that rhythm because my body is recovering from a month of illness and I have a very intense daily agenda, especially because I give French lessons to Americans and because I started a youtube channel about learning French called French with a smile https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgY65RmuxBWHc8HOrBC1pnQ/. Make smoothies The smoothie of the day is banana, raw cacao, ginger, cinnamon, vegetable milk. My raw cacao comes from Raw Living http://prz.io/XZYavBsK and I made a video about this great website to help you “The best website to get super foods online” https://clairesamuel.com/2020/05/23/the-best-website-to-get-super-foods-online/ I added a teaspoon of sea water to my smoothie. It comes from the Biovie online store. Do you want to save 5 euros on your order at Biovie? Register quickly on the Biovie site with this referral code https://www.biovie.fr/?s=174113403.
