What's your love language?
Have you ever heard that pop psychology idea that we all have different ways of showing we care about people? They say there are '5 love languages'- words of affirmation, giving gifts, quality time, acts of service, and physical touch. Whether you believe it's true or not I reckon we could do a fun activity based on this! Here are some questions for you 🙂
1. What's your 'love language'? How do you show people you care? It can be any of the 5 'languages', a combination, or one of your own!
2. How can others show they care about you? What are you most likely to perceive as a genuine gesture of them caring? Is it the same as how you would show them you care?
3. Think of a way you can care for yourself today or this week using your own love language. Tell us what you will do if you feel comfortable! E.g. if your love language is physical touch, it could be as simple as giving yourself a hug!
4. Do the same with picking a way to show you care about someone else! E.g. if your love language is words of affirmation and giving gifts you might like to make them a card telling them how much you admire them!
