When we say that someone has arrived in our life, it is because they are no longer just any other person and they have gained an important place by our side. We approach this person and feel comfortable.
In those moments, we begin to feel that feelings of affection arise and that these are mutual: at this point, the best thing we can do is try to keep them and show them.
When we love someone, feeling is not enough, we must also demonstrate it and thus make the other person participate in our life.
Show that you love him / her
Sometimes, what happens is that we love a person very much, but we don't know how to show them. It can be a friend, relative or partner. It may even happen that we take it for granted that it knows and that we will not lose it.
It is not a difficult task to face the routine, the problems that do not depend on us, the comfort of thinking that there is no expiration date. Shame often makes everything even more difficult.
“You have to know what you want. When you know it, you have to have the courage to say it; when you say it, you have to have the courage to do it "
– G. B. Clemenceau –
Ovedia Rosales, therapist, claims that demonstrating how much we love a person gives them a greater desire to continue loving us.
For this reason, our parents and children should be told more often that we love them, take better care of our friends and strive for feelings as a couple. Today we talk about some key points to do this.
Six key tips for demonstrating love
There are some ways to show someone what we feel, which we perhaps ignore for their simplicity. It costs us nothing, but it will make the other feel very special.
- The smallest details are the most important: the sum of small gestures strengthens relationships more than we think. It is a very common mistake to think that a great detail, at a precise moment, can convince someone to stay with us forever. A great deed or an incredible gift is no guarantee for the future. The best guarantee is everyday life: take care of that person every time you remember them and show them that they are important to you. You will see that she will be grateful to you.
- Love yourself first: it is a cure-all to know that if we want to love someone, we must first love ourselves. We often think that dedicating ourselves completely to someone else is the way to show love, but it isn't if we forget about ourselves. Respecting our personal space is the only way to love and love each other.
- The first step is to get to know the other well: do not forget that each person has their own sensitive points and if what we want is to make the other feel special, the first thing to do is to get to know him. The moment we know his tastes, his fears, his concerns and what makes him happy, just prove it. Show them that you can improve bad times and empower what makes them happy. Remember that a bar of chocolate, a walk, a letter or a simple phone call can brighten his day.
- Share your time with others: one of the most precious things we have in life is the ability to do what we want with our time. It is for this reason that sharing it with others is a demonstration of affection and desire to love. It is very important for the other person to know that you want to spend time with them, even if it is very complicated for reasons such as distance. Nevertheless, if you can do it, do it.
There are many ways to shorten the distance and spend time together, especially if it means sharing your life. Surely you can think of a million ways to do this.
- Show affection: perhaps it will seem too obvious a rule, but very often we forget that, at times, those who love us need to see us show that affection. It's not just about physical contact, sometimes a smile is enough to convey a hug.
I love, I can and you deserve it
Trust the other, accept their way of being and respect them, listen to it as if it happens to you, forgive and show what you feel.
Because to love and to know how to prove it is to love twice. Because if you want that person in your life, you have to be able to make them stay with you.
"If love cannot be seen and heard, it does not exist or is useless"
