The 5 Love Languages and Self Love

Photo from google images

I'm sure you have heard of the 5 Love Languages, or even read the book written by Gary Chapman. The book and theory are extremely helpful with any type of relationship, even platonic or work relationships (within reason), but have you ever thought about how the 5 Love Languages can be used to promote more self love and self care and build a better relationship with ourselves?

For example, my top love languages are:

  • Physical Touch
  • Quality Time
  • Acts of Service

How can I use these for self love? 

  • Physical Touch- I can treat myself to an acupuncture session or massage, or even administer self massage or put on my lotion with loving intention and positive affirmations
  • Spending quality time with myself like going for a walk, spending time out in nature or reading a book
  • Acts of service like cooking myself a nice dinner
We don't need other people to show us that we are loved! The job is ours and we can really take this theory of which love language(s) resonate with ourselves and focus on how we can implement it for more for self love. What are your love languages?
