Got to thinking about love languages this morning.
Do you know about love languages?
So the thinking is that there are 5 ways we show love (as shown in the picture). These are also the ways we receive love.
Most people will have one dominant love language, but they won't use this in isolation.
Often, how you show love is how you feel love, but not always. But remember that your spouse/child/friend may feel love differently from how you do.
Some examples below of how these look in practice to others and also TO YOURSELF
Acts of service; do the dishes, make their morning coffee. PLANS, ORGANISATION, CLEANING.
Positive touch; hugs, kisses, gently brushing an arm as you pass. SELF MASSAGE, WEIGHTED/SOFT BLANKETS.
Time; just being together in the same space, shared activities. HOBBIES , MEDITATION.
Gifts; giving bought or found items. ALLOW YOURSELF TO TREAT YOURSELF
Words of affirmation; saying you love them, telling them what you love/like about them. POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS JOURNALING.
