Show Love In Different Ways!

How are you staying inspired and hopeful right now? What is keeping you grounded during this season you’re walking through?

One of my coping “go-to’s” is to write or print out inspirational quotes and tuck them around my house. Pinned on the inside of a cupboard, stuck on the edge of my bathroom mirror, taped to the backside of my garage entry door.  You name the random location, I’ve got a quote with some sunshine there to remind you that you’re awesome. 

In fact, last time my cousin visited she said she loved walking around my house seeing all the bits of reminders to love herself.  The funny thing is, when she told me this, I had to pause for a second because I forget there are so many tucked away in my home. I’ve seen them so many times that I don’t even notice them anymore. 

And that is exactly my inspiration behind this weeks’ tip.   

There are 5,000 ways to show love. Mix it up today!!

You have to mix things up and find new ways to show love because if you’re only expressing your love in a singular way, it can often go unnoticed. It’s not for any reason besides the fact that our brain needs variety in order notice the same ol’ thing. 

Don’t let the way you show love become the “same ol’ thing”.

Be creative in how you show love so that your partner can notice these beautiful expressions.

Have fun mixing it up and seeing what new sparks begin to fly. Use that creativity to create more connection and hope during this time of stress and uncertainty.  Allow your relationship to be the shelter in this storm.

Warmly,

-A

P.S. If you’re struggling right now, please reach out. I don’t want you to continue to walk in fear alone.  Your relationship is primary to all that you do and I don’t want it to be in a place of suffering as you navigate this hard season.
