Are we are looking for love in all the wrong places? With or without your soul mate, you will always do best when you start by loving yourself. This means acting in loving ways towards yourself. I’m not speaking about ego; I’m talking about taking loving care of yourself. Don’t wait for someone else to come along and take care of you. What have you done for you lately?
2. Receive love from others
Your soul mate, whether or not you’ve already met, will be one of many people who love you. Today, practice receiving love from someone in your life. What will your reaction be to someone who shares random acts of love with you?
3. Sparking the flame
Every season comes with its own special gifts. The season of love is no exception. This is a great time of year to spark feelings of love in someone else with loving gestures. Like a candle flame, love won’t diminish when shared; rather it will bring more love and light into the world. How will you share love today and ignite love in another?
4. Thank someone for acting with love
We are surrounded by loving people. Today, choose to see the love that surrounds you. How will you express gratitude to someone who acts lovingly towards you?
5. Make a list
Think back to moments in time where you felt loved. Who made you feel loved? How did they express their love? List 5 moments where you felt loved and write down what made you feel that way.
6. I’m loving you
“I love you” is a statement. But love is a verb! So really, we should be saying, “I’m loving you.” How do we come to love another? Our love grows towards a person when we give to them. Whether it is your time, emotional support or physical help, giving to your loved ones is what builds the bond of love. What will you give today to develop and further your relationship with someone close to you?
7. Your theme song
Music can carry us to places that words cannot. Do you have a song that helps you to feel loved, safe and calm? Create a playlist of the songs which put a smile on your face and bring a loving feeling into your heart. From that list, pick one song to be your theme song. Your theme song will center you, lifting you up when you’re down and keeping you anchored when you’re high, so you can live and love with balance.
8. Love fearlessly
Don’t base your love on being loved back. Give love without the expectation of receiving anything in return, and feel good about it! Love is unconditional. Who do you love unconditionally? Why?
9. It just takes toothpaste
Did you know that you can shine silver with toothpaste? You don’t need fancy silver polishes to make your finest pieces shine. Simple, ordinary toothpaste: we all have it and we all use it for its normal purpose. But it can make more than just our teeth sparkle! Like toothpaste, we all have surprising versatility. Come up with one way to use your love that is different from what you’ve done in the past. Notice how this part of your life starts to shine.
10. A hot glue gun
A hot glue gun can fix many things. Heat + glue = connection. But what if you’re looking to connect emotionally? Then the equation looks more like: loving words + hearts = connection. It is a Jewish concept that words from the heart enter the heart. Whose heart will you strike today with loving words?
