I feel loved when someone makes me a tasty meal. When they give me a gift that shows they care and understand the things I like. When they want to give me a hug or a massage or do my hair. I feel loved when I receive appreciation for something I made for someone else. When they want to spend time with me, or when they are willing to keep me accountable in my interactions with them and accept who I am but not turn me away.
There are so many things you can do to show someone you care. Everyone has different combinations of how they feel loved, and learning what those are for an individual is another way of showing love. By discovering their favorite things and learning what makes them tick, you show love.
At everyone’s core, they long to be fully known and fully loved. It’s important to know what makes us feel loved but also think of how those around us feel loved. Relationships are give and take, and it isn’t healthy for a relationship to be all give or all take. The best relationships are equally both. You also need at least three people in a group to ensure that it is an unselfish type of love, where each person can divide their attention between at least two other parties without jealousy.
I encourage you today to think about how you love yourself and others, and how others want to be loved. Change the world, one person at a time.
