Discover Your Love Language x Jade Tostanoski
You’ve probably heard a lot of talk about self-love in recent years. While we often see it manifested in bubble baths and spa days, there are far easier and more effective ways to show yourself the love and attention you deserve.
A few weeks ago, we talked about putting effort into self-care, and how important it is to your mental and physical health to take time to focus on yourself. After that blog, I started thinking of any techniques that could help us get a step closer to achieving our self-love goals.
At this point, Gem, you’ve probably heard of the five love languages. The original concept of these languages is a bit antiquated and greatly revolves around how women can understand their husband's love languages, while also trying to communicate their own. But we are creative, Gem, and we can take these five languages and figure out how to use them to build and fulfill ourselves.
The fact remains… we come first and should handle ourselves accordingly to that.
The five love languages are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. There are plenty of quizzes and questionnaires out there that help you pinpoint your top love languages, and once you know your love language, the process is much easier!
Are acts of service your jam? Completing a task or project you’ve been putting off can make you feel so much lighter! Are you a fan of words of affirmation? Repeating daily affirmations to yourself can make you feel like you are ready to take on the world!
I don’t want to discredit the original ideas presented in the Five Love Languages book, because they are a good way to start learning your real self, but we can tweak the practices to suit modern women.
It really just comes down to this, Gem. You deserve the power to build yourself up, and knowing your love languages is a solid base for understanding how to take care of yourself and build confidence in the incredible person you are!
After all, you are an immense treasure.
Wishing you an enlightening journey during this new year and your path to self-discovery - J
