When we think of the 5 Love Languages, they usually are pertaining to how we receive or give love. You may know which language is the one you like to receive most, but have you thought about using your Love Language as a form of self love? When we feel stressed or just not feeling right, we tend to look to the outside, when we need to look within. We think of receiving love from people, but have you ever thought about receiving love from yourself? To love someone else, it is necessary to find the love that you need, first from within. You may be thinking, that is great and all, but how can I truly feel fulfilled by learning self love? Let me give you some simple examples that you can start practicing today.
