Express Love Daily

Masterful Mindsets ~ Express Love Daily

“Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.” ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

Question: 

How do you express love to those you love most? How much do you express love to others? How would your relationships and your life change if you expressed more love on a daily basis?

Action Challenge:

Last week we celebrated Valentine’s Day… a day dedicated to love. There’s a lot of hype around that day – but really, love shouldn’t just be expressed one day a year. Love is something to be expressed daily. Love is something to live by. Love is a part of who we are when we are being our best. Love really is the key to happiness.

So, as we move on into examining our month of loving your life, know this, if you don’t have or give enough love in your life then I would be willing to bet you don’t love your life as fully as you could.

It doesn’t matter whether you are in a relationship or single, you have the opportunity to have and give love. Friends. Family. Pets. Even complete strangers… spreading love is something you can do every single day to bring more happiness and joy into your own life and the lives of those you express that love to. Just think about it, if you expressed love even 10% more than you do now, how would that change your relationships? How could it change your life?

Now of course that doesn’t mean we have to act like every day is Valentine’s Day with flowers, candy or gifts. Love is really about so much more. Love is a feeling we express by the actions we take in the ways we treat others. So don’t overlook the little acts of love. A smile, a hug, being present and listening to someone, telling that someone special why they are so special… the list can go on forever.

There are millions of ways to express love. Some people really do love to give gifts or affirmations as an expression of love. And that’s great. For others, they just want to spend quality time with us or feel our presence with a gentle touch. And then there are others who will do kind things or acts of service to express love. Think about it… what’s your favorite way to express love? What makes you feel most loved?

My challenge to you is to explore what love means to you and give more love! Below are some suggestions to get you started:

• List out 3 words that would describe how you want to show up and interact with those you love the most, to express love more often. Write those words down somewhere as a trigger to remind you of how you will show up in the relationship. For example, say you want to be more present, kind and appreciative with your spouse. You might set an alarm on your phone using those words and schedule it to sound just as you pull into the driveway every day after work. That trigger will help you to remember to flip from work mode to love mode when you walk through that door after work at night.
• Make a list of loving little extras you can do to express love. Do one for someone daily.
• Make a list of people you would like to be more loving towards. Then every day, pick a person from that list to surprise with an expression of love.
• Be an example of love. By being a role model for others, you can create a ripple effect. So again, define out what it would mean for you to be an expression of love to others. Pick 3 words again and use them to help you remember to practice this daily in all your interactions with the world.

When you have more love in your life, you will love your life more. You can create that love… whether it’s with your significant other, your family or your friends… Love is the key to happiness.
