Loving words vs Loving Actions in Relationships

Let's talk about it. The old cliche is true - your mouth can say anything, but actions speak your true intentions. Do the words "I love you overshadow the not so loving behaviors by your partner? Are we caught up in the fantasy of wanting to have a special someone in our lives who says those three magical words "I love you? Or are we caught up in the relationship timeline? Meaning, you do not remember a time when the person was not in your life. Or are we just lonely, and the desire of starting over and/or not having anyone is more traumatizing than ending the relationship? Where/When/How did we learn the messages that we didn't matter and/or that we should not prioritize our needs?

When was the last time you told yourself that you loved you? When was the last time you acted loving towards yourself. Take some time to reflect on your thoughts and your own actions towards self. You cant control how someone else treats you. However, you can control how you treat yourself, how you show up for yourself, and how you love yourself.

Raise the bar of how you expect to be treated by others by operating from that bar to yourself. Once you show yourself how you deserve to be loved, it will be challenging to create space for anyone who does not meet that standard.

You got this !

Happy Journey of Loving You!
