Description

The Love Habit provides actionable steps to cultivate lasting change in your life. Each chapter offers insights on embracing a love-based approach to your habits (LOVE: Learn, Optimize, Validate, Experience).

In The Love Habit, author and relationship expert Rainie Howard explores the profound connection between self-image and daily habits--emotional, mental, and physical--and how these actions shape our relationships with others. Whether you're seeking to enhance communication with loved ones, establish boundaries, or foster greater self-love and acceptance, The Love Habit is a persistent commitment to prioritizing yourself in mind, body, and spirit by aligning yourself with appreciation, peace, and joy above all else.

While many of us understand the effects of unhealthy relationships, we are often clueless about how to truly break free of them. This is because until we understand why people behave the way they do, and that we subconsciously teach others how to treat us, we are powerless to transform this important area of our lives. This book will empower you with a growth mindset to become the architect of your own destiny.

Divided into three parts, The Love Habit covers:

--Reinventing Yourself - Crafting the Life You Desire Habit Techniques

--Cultivating Thought, Belief, Expectation, and Transformation

--Unlocking Discernment - Aligning Actions, Executing Plans, and Making Meaningful Impact

If you're ready to break free of the cycle of unhealthy relationships and blossom into the best version of yourself, The Love Habit is here to show you how.
