What Is Your Love Language?
We communicate the way we
want to be communicated to. Unfortunately, when we do that, the person we are
communicating with may not hear us or get what we are attempting to express. Therefore,
it is essential that we know our own language and the language of those we are
communicating with.
At the end of the day (and
during the day for that matter), we all want to experience love. That is the
dominant force behind being human. We are born to give love, experience love,
and receive love. We communicate verbally and non-verbally to experience love,
whether we are conscious of it or not. According to Gary Chapman, there are
five love languages that are used to experience this quality. In his book The
Five Love Languages, Gary focuses on how to express heartfelt commitment to
your mate. He claims that there are five ways people express their love. They
are:
-
Quality Time
-
Words of Affirmation
-
Gifts
-
Acts of Service
-
Physical Touch
After reading his book several years ago, I had my own 'aha'
which has translated into using this book as one of my favorite coaching tools
with my clients. Prior to reading the Five Love Languages, I demonstrated my
affection, love and gratitude towards my husband through 'words of affirmation'.
Specifically, I would use encouraging
words, highlighting his positive traits and behaviors with appreciation and
admiration. However, this never produced
the connection I was hoping for. In fact, it seemed to push him away. I would
notice that he would numb out or tune me out, as if he did not think what I was
saying was real or had meaning. After taking the test in the book, we
determined that his dominant love language is 'acts of service'. This made
total sense. The way I was communicating with him to express and experience
love did not resonate with the way he experienced or expressed love. I was
missing the mark.........
This week, I invite you to contemplate how effective your communication is with the relationships that mean the most to you. If there is anyone that you are not completely connecting with, observe whether you are communicating on your terms or theirs? Notice what their love language might be. Notice your own love language. Make a different choice on how you communicate and listen. Open your heart to give, experience and receive love.
With love & light,
BELIEVE in the possible. CREATE the possible. LIVE the possible.

SOULFUL SEEDS
"Last night, I was dreaming of you again. You were radiant, confident, and light beamed in every direction from the core of your being. Music followed you, angels serenaded you, and everyone was elevated by your presence. Wisdom shown from your eyes, Kindness emanated from your touch. And your power was simply awesome. You looked, well...pretty much... exactly as you do right now.
