Most people are familiar with The Five Love Languages, a bestselling book by Dr. Gary Chapman. In his book, Chapman describes the primary ways we give and receive love:
Words of affirmation
Acts of service
Receiving gifts
Quality time
Physical touch
The book recommends that we get to know our partner’s primary love language and that our partner should get to know ours, so that we can best show love to each other and identify loving acts from our partners.
I totally agree with this concept and I also wonder…
Why wait for our partner to show us love? What if we don’t have a partner? What if they aren’t around or in the “showering us with love mood” at the exact moment our need for love strikes?
If we know our own love language, why not shower ourselves with love in exactly the way and moment we want to receive it?
Tell ourselves “I love you” every morning in the mirror as we blow ourselves a kiss
Cook ourselves a nice meal and serve it on a fancy plate
Buy ourselves a nice gift, and even wrap it beautifully
Schedule delicious “me time” to dance, daydream, give ourself or book a massage, take a class, shop
Hug ourselves, touch ourselves sensually with pleasure as our only goal
Self love is so important, but so often neglected. We make self care seem so complicated, but it can also be found in the smallest gestures.
You are you first and best lover. You can only love another or receive love to the degree you are able to love and care for yourself. Coaching with me helps you go deep within and repair that primary relationship with yourself.
My clients tell me that they have never felt such a profound love and compassion for themselves, their bodies, they report feeling whole and having a new lease on life.
You deserve this!
