Iyanla also had advice on how you can find the perfect partner for you.
Feel, deal, and heal. Don’t cut off your feelings; instead, process them so you can let go. “You’ve got to feel all of your feelings, because feelings buried alive do not die,” she said.
Therapy, meditation, or journaling are ways to deal with your feelings. Heal by changing your patterns and turning a new page in life.
The Talk: Iyanla Vanzant Vulnerability & Accessibility
How do you let people see the real you? Make yourself vulnerable and accessible, Iyanla advised. Don’t rely on false appearances that could set you up for disappointment.
Choose real dates or spend time together at home, where you can relax and let your guard down. “Let him see that, and then if he likes that now, then he feels gifted when you put the Spanx on and the push-up bra,” she said.
