LOVE LANGUAGE 💙💚🤍💓💜♥️

Although some do not psychologically care for books such as “The 5 Love Languages,” the concept behind the book remains true.

Deeper connections come when understanding is gained.

One of the primary functions of “language” is CONNECTION via communication or exchange of information. When that connection is not occurring, the individual is virtually alone ir at least, they may perceive that they are.

*So, communication and proper interpretation of communication is key to being productive, establishing culture, experiencing loving connection, understanding and feeling known.

Be mindful of every step.

This is the key 🔑

I post this here because “being present” might just be the key to overcoming intrusive thoughts as this season of your life concludes.

Find something about now that brings you light even of it’s just a glimmer. ✨

Forcing family & friends to think like us, feel like us or see things through the lens which is unique to us…is not the recipe for enjoying the conclusion of our season. We are unique. They’re unique & that’s okay. 👌🏾 ✅

Do you feel ignored or not responded to by those whom you love the most (spouses, parents, siblings, offspring, friends)?

Being ignored hurts so much because it fundamentally threatens our basic need for social connection and belonging, making us feel rejected, unimportant, and unworthy of attention, which can trigger a pain response similar to physical pain due to the way our brains process social rejection; essentially, it activates the same neural pathways as physical pain, even though it's an invisible experience.

…”it can affect people’s sensory perception…”

A psychological perspective on appropriate responses to dealing with those with whom we differ.
