Exploring the 5 Love Languages in Relation to Self
We've all heard of the 5 Love Languages, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Words of Affirmation.
If you haven't, I highly recommend taking this quick quiz: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/
Now that we really all have heard of the 5 Love Languages, let's dive in.
So often we relate this quiz and these results to our relationships to others. Whether that be our friendships or our romantic interests, and it's a beautiful tool for navigating those relationships and how to adequately care for one another. Remember, it's about showing up for those in your life using THEIR love language, not yours.
But what if we switched this narrative? Instead of relating the love languages to our relationship with others, what if we find the love language that we most need from ourselves? And then how do we put that into action in showing ourselves?
What follows are ideas on how to show up for ourselves in our own individual love languages.
But why is this SO important? Because. You. Are. Worth. It.
You are so worthy of any amount of love in this world. Especially when it comes from yourself.
