The 5 love languages of self-love
|
As valentines day approaches, we put our focus on our relationships of love and whilst this is wonderful and important, it feels to me like it is also an important time to focus on the most important relationship of love. The one with
ourselves.
We spend so much time showing everyone around us how much we love and care for them that we forget to love and care for ourselves. This can
become a form of self - abuse.
So, maybe it's time to look at how you can to honour yourself with love and self - care. Maybe it's time to take yourself on a date smile emoticon
Dr Gary Chapman wrote a wonderful book called "The 5 Love Languages" as a tool to identify how to show love and care to your partner. What if we used this as a basis for love and care to ourselves?
The 5 languages are:
1. Words of affirmation
How do you speak to yourself? What is your inner dialogue like. Is it
kind? Is it gentle? Is it compassionate? Is it loving? What if for 1 day you spoke to yourself like someone you truly loved. With patience, empathy, tolerance and love.
2. Physical touch
How often do you take time to care for your body? When last did you indulge in a beautiful bath and feel the touch of water on your skin or lie on the grass under the sun and bathe in the glory of life. How about taking time to rub cream into your skin and feel it respond to your loving touch.
Take care of your body. It needs attention to feel loved.
3. Receiving gifts
Can you ask for what you want and then when it is offered to you can you receive it with grace and an open heart. Without guilt, shame or obligation to repay it. Receiving support, love, help, guidance, gifts (both from people and the Universe) is available to everyone. You don't need to do anything to deserve it.
4. Quality time
When last did you take
time to be with yourself? To sit in silence and listen to your heart. To identify your truth and let your Soul whisper to you. Time alone is vital for our own sense of personal growth and revitalization. Go for a walk in the park alone. Sit in your garden in silence. Go for a drive if that's what it takes but make a date with yourself and honour the conversation with your heart.
5. Acts of Service
How can you serve yourself? Sometimes this is in the act of self-care. Getting
your hair cut, having your nails done, going to the Doctor, getting a massage. Sometimes this in the indulgences. Going in the workshop or retreat, finding the art class that you would love to do. Spending times on your hobbies. Learning, growing and exploring are all ways of servicing your own Divine self.
In all relationships we teach others how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves. As like energy attracts like energy, loving ourselves and caring for ourselves attracts more love
into our lives. I believe if we were all able to love ourselves more, our hearts would overflow with love, compassion and kindness for those around us. Imagine living in a world like that ....

Love - the great equaliser |
Matt Khan is a profound spiritual teacher and intuitive. I have been exposed to his work many times during my journey and recently I have been reading his book "Whatever arises, love that - a Love Revolution That Begins with You". In this book he shares his journey to love and how to use love as a way of life; especially in honouring the
emotional journey of life.
This is a healing mantra that he offers in the book. The following words carry a deep healing resonance whether you say them out loud or read them quietly in your mind.
- When I'm sad, I deserve more
love, not less.
- When I'm angry, I deserve more love, not less.
- When I'm frustrated, I deserve more love, not less.
- Whenever I'm hurt,
heartbroken, ashamed or feeling guilty, I deserve more love, not less.
- Even when I am embarrassed by my actions, I deserve more love, not less.
- Equally so, when I'm proud of myself, I deserve more love, not less.
- No matter how I feel, I deserve more love, not less.
- Despite what I think, I deserve more love, not less.
- No matter the past that I've survived, I deserve more love, not less.
- No matter what remains up ahead, I deserve more love, not less.
- On my worst day, I deserve more love, not less.
- Even when life seems cruel and confusing, I deserve more love, not less.
- When
no-one is here to give me what I need, I deserve more love, not less.
- No matter what I'm able to accept, whomever I cannot forgive, or whatever I'm unable to love for whatever reason, I deserve more love, not less.
Open your heart to give yourself the love you deserve. Give it a try, its a powerful reminder of the
power of the heart.
