Containers of Love

Let's talk about Love Languages 💜
If you are not familiar with the term;
Love languages are 5 category, that describes the way you feel most loved.

The 5 love languages are:

• Quality Time ; it's pretty self explanatory, you need to spend quality time with a person in order to really feel loved.
• Physical Touch ; it is about non sexual touch, more about being someone who needs many cuddles, hand holding, etc in order to feel loved.
• Words of Affirmations ; you are someone who needs to hear "I love you" , " You look radiant today" , "Well done for doing that".
• Act of Service ; to feel loved, you need someone to do things for you, such as running an errand, or make you a meal, do little things that matter to you.
• Gifts ; you feel most loved when you receive presents.

In it's original way, they are called Love Languages, and you meant to be having one or two as your way to feel loved.

But, i would like to invite you to see it more as,
5 Containers of Love.
And play around with the idea, of how big you would like those containers to be. . .
Because in essence, we need all 5 of them, but we may have different needs in how much we need of these forms of love.

Here is an example;
I see my containers, at the present (i use at the present, as I also beleive it changes time to time), as my container of Quality Time and Physical Touch are bigger containers, i need more of those, in order to feel loved.
The other three are also needed, but i need less, in order to feel loved.
For example, yesterday I received a lovely gift from a friend, and it filled my container of 'Gifts' because that container is a smaller container, and it made me feel really loved.
But have i been receiving gifts all day, but have no Quality Time nor Physical Touch. . . i would not feel I am loved.

So I invite you today to think about, and perhaps even make a little drawing or diagram, on how big are your Love Containers.
And remember, it is not just love from others, it is also love from yourself. . .

I would love to hear about your containers 🙏🏻

Much love , Petra 💜
