Hey @Green_Ghost
Amazing post - thank you for sharing!
What's so encouraging is that these examples are really simple and customisable. They're available to anyone in any form, space, time, etc. Self-care is a brilliant way of bringing some energy back into us when we feel exhausted or low.
Personally I vouch for freshly washed and dried hair + new, clean pyjamas + fresh bedsheets = unstoppable trio. 🌞
Wow @Green_Ghost !!
This post is crazy good. It's self-care that really connects with who you are as a person on a deeper level. With love languages, we might be doing so much for people or expecting things from people we never think to do for ourselves. I'm genuinely going to share this with friends I think need it.
Wonderful!! I hope your self-care and self-love journey treats you well 🌻
Hi @Green_Ghost
Viewing self-care as a love language for yourself is such an awesome perspective! Thank you so much for sharing. I hadn't thought of self-care in this way and these categories really break things down into examples I could do for myself. They are all such easy and little things to do aswell, so it shows how achievable taking care of yourself really is and how small changes can make a positive impact. I hope this list helps those in need of practising self-care!
Hi @Green_Ghost,
Thanks so much for sharing. This is an awesome perspective.
I love the idea of using your own love language for self-care, as it’s such a simple but effective way to show yourself some love and really connect with what feels right for you. It’s a great reminder to take care of ourselves in ways that we find meaningful.
I’ll definitely keep this in mind! 😊
@Green_Ghost Hey there! What a lovely message, I love this perspective on self love. I never considered this and honestly I might incorporate some of these into my routine! My love languages are receiving gifts and physical touch and I am already doing yoga every Friday morning and loving it! And I also spoil myself with new clothes from work sometimes so I will definitely be taking a screenshot of that list so I can add more things.
Thank you for sharing this 💜
Hey @Green_Ghost,
This is such a lovely and helpful post that you have shared with us all! I honestly never even thought about using my own love language for self love/care, but now I can start implementing this into my life.
I definitely needed this particularly because of the stress from my studies, so thank you for this!
Hey Green_Ghost,
I LOVE this post. Thank you so much for sharing, I hadn't considered how I could be applying my love language towards myself! Self-care is so important, so I love that this list helps categorise some options based off different people's needs and preferences. I will be checking some of these off tonight!
