Love is Bubbling Over

Yesterday, people all over the globe celebrated their significant other, friends and relatives in the name of love. We know that we should love each other every day but special days seem to emphasize the love we have for someone we deem special even more. Many might have felt left out as they are focusing only on the romantic form of love. I am here to tell you that you don’t need to feel excluded just because you didn’t have a special someone to celebrate with. You can celebrate you and even your close friends. Here are five ways to show more love to self and others.

Say kind words- saying kind words to yourself enhances self-confidence. Saying kind words to others offers a happy atmosphere and improves bond. Words of affirmation goes a long way and can make such a great difference in our lives.

Hug yourself or others- Loving yourself or someone doesn’t have to be said in words but by the positive things you do. A hug is an act of touch which sends a positive message to the person being hugged. That person can be you or anyone else who you think needs it. A hug sends a strong message and can convey so much more than words could ever say.

Give gifts – when giving gifts they should be memorable. They should be something that person will be grateful for and will never forget the special moment. In order to share love with others you must love yourself so pamper yourself because that’s your gift to you. Gifts don’t need to be expensive to be appreciated, they just need to be thoughtful and meaningful.

Be there – love has many languages and sometimes it’s in the form of being present. Spending time with those we value allows us to learn new things about them, about ourselves and the relationship. Sometimes you don’t need say anything but just be present and let them feel your presence.

Help in any way you can – You can help yourself by walking away from situations or people that don’t allow you to flourish and become your best self. Listen to the energy that calls you even when what you’re use to seems to be hard to get away from. Help others by identifying their needs. This shows that you care. If you are unsure you can ask if there is any way you can assist them. Don’t beat yourself up if they don’t seem to ask for yourself either.

Love is such a beautiful thing and when experience in its truest form is so magnificent. Many confuse different situations with love. Hear me when I say that love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy nor does it boast. It is not easily angered and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and love perseveres. I hope you will start loving the person in the mirror in order to love others in the way love ought to be showed. Love should be bubbling over!
