Know Your Love Language
I used to dread February & Valentine’s Day...the stress over if I had a Valentine or not and how I was going to spend the one day that gets built up for 2 weeks. I felt constantly bombarded with the word ‘Love’ and all that it stands for.
This all shifted when I realized that I did not have to focus on love for that one, specific day, but that I can focus on it every day. And that this love did not focus around my Valentine, but MYSELF. That love for myself is a priority.
I found ways to show myself love each and every day <3
What does the word ‘Love’ mean to you?
The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman helps us better understand how we feel love from others as well as how we show love to others. The 5 Love Languages are Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service & Physical Touch. I’m spending a day talking about each of them on Instagram, and I invite you to come and join me! And of course I’ll be tying in Human Design.
When you know your love language, or languages (because many people have more than one!) you can better understand the ways in which you show love and more importantly, how you want to be loved.
Think about the concept that each of us has a “Love Tank”, just like a gas tank. When we receive love via our love language, our tank fills up. Think of a time when you felt loved...this is how it feels to have your Love Tank full. When you know your love language, it is then easier to communicate to others what you need to feel loved and you can also show this love to yourself to keep your Love Tank filled.
I show myself love by making time for myself. Whether that be to grab a cup of coffee with a friend or do yoga and meditate, that is how I show love to myself and fill up my own Love Tank. When I realize that my Love Tank is running low, I need to prioritize time with myself. Can you guess what my love language is?
...Quality Time! I feel loved by others and myself, when we spend quality time together. This is why this year I am committing to spend an hour quietly with myself each day.
Essential oils tie into our love languages because they can help with emotions. This book provides guidance on how to use essential oils to address emotions to improve your mood and overall emotional wellness.
I love using the Emotional Aromatherapy blends to address emotions. Forgive - the Renewing Blend, is a combination of herbs and trees that helps promote the liberating feelings of contentment, relief, and patience. It overall helps decrease your negative emotions and increase positive emotions.
As a Coach & therapist, I love talking about emotions and helping people learn more about their own emotions. I would love the opportunity to talk with you about expanding and increasing your positive emotions through understanding your Human Design!
This can be done 1:1 or in my Human Design Workshop to learn more about your unique self, tendencies & emotions to grow love ❤️
I’ll be talking all about Human Design & Love Languages this month on Instagram. Join me there to learn more!
Whether it be with others or on your own, it is important to keep your Love Tank full!
