5 Love Languages at the Market

5 Love Languages at the Market

If you are reading this, you have probably heard of Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages.  Chapman describes the five languages as follows 1) Words of Affirmation 2) Physical Touch 3) Receiving Gifts 4) Quality Time 5) Acts of Service. Love surrounds us and how we experience it depends on your unique way of feeling love. The first love most of us experience is the love from our caregivers. What did they do to show you they loved you? How does that impact how you express and experience love? Knowing your own love language is one of the most important things you can know about yourself. You will then know exactly what you need to keep your cup filled. I’m not saying this so that you demand or expect others to express love to you in the way that fills you but knowing this will help you take care of yourself. Self-care looks different for everyone because it depends on your own love language. Someone’s self-love may be booking a body massage (physical touch) while another person’s self-love may be sitting in silence on a porch (quality time). Remember to take care of yourself to be the best for your partner, parents, children, coworkers or friends.
