Physical Touch
You value physical touch above all else. Physical touch can be intimate or not - warm hugs, holding hands, and back rubs are all things that can make you feel loved.
-
Get Moving. Physical activities like stretching and yoga put you in tune with your body. Take your time with each movement, and feel your body respond in your muscles, heartbeat, and breathing.
-
Spa Night. Take a warm bath, or rub your aches out with a self-massage. You don't even have to get that dance with it. Everyday routines like skincare, brushing hair, or putting on lotion are opportunities to pamper yourself.
-
Snuggle Up. If you're not feeling up for something super active, just get cozy while you read or watch your favorite show. Even without a partner, you can get those cuddly feelings using things like weighted blankets or heating pads.
| Words of Affirmation
You prefer written and spoken expressions of love. You feel most loved when people tell you how much you mean to them, whether that's through a sweet text, a love letter, or just a passing compliment.
- Journal. Try writing down the things you love about yourself, things you're grateful for, or things you're looking forward to. If you're not sure where to start, here are the journaling basics.
- Self-Talk. Sometimes we all need a good pep talk - don't be afraid to give your own! Quiet your inner critic by reframing your negative thoughts, and finding your mantra to make positive thinking a habit.
- Find Inspiration. If you're having a hard time finding the right words, look to places like podcasts, self-help books, or social media (Carefully) for inspiration. There are tons of prompts, affirmations, and quotes out there to get you talking compassionately with yourself.

Gift Giving
Thoughtful gifts mean a lot to you. It's not just about what you get either. Coming from the right person at the right time, gifts feel like symbols of someone's affection for you.
- Fill a Need. No one knows you better than yourself! Get yourself a gift that meets your unique needs. What would make your life easier? what would bring you joy every day? It doesn't have to be big or expensive to be impactful.
- Make it an Activity. One of the best gifts you can give yourself is a memorable experience. Think beyond your Amazon wishlist and treat yourself to concert tickets or a dinner reservation.
- Surprise Yourself. Sometimes you just can't beat the delight of opening a totally unexpected gift. So find ways to surprise yourself. You'll never know what's coming with advent calendars, monthly subscription boxes, and mystery product bundles from Esty.
| Acts of Service
You appreciate when people show their love through helpful actions. You think that actions speak louder than words.
- Tackle the To-Do List. You know those things you've been putting off? The ones that would make your life so much easier if they just got done? It's time to do them. Unload the dishwasher, go grocery shopping, donate those clothes in the back of your closet, and please call your grandma. You'll thank yourself later.
- Help Your Future Self. Yes, doing a bunch of chores and errands may not sound like a lot of fun. But think about it like you're setting your future self up for a really great day. You could meal-prep today so that you can enjoy a nice dinner tomorrow.
- Address Your Needs. One of the best things you can do for yourself is care for your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. That means making appointments to see your doctor, dentist, or therapist to check in about anything that's been bothering you.

Quality Time
Spending quality time together is really important to you. The activity doesn't matter as much as having someone's time and undivided attention.
- Alone Time. Spend a night at home enjoying your own company. Without the pressure of entertaining someone else, you can do whatever makes you truly happy. Try turning off your phone, making yourself a nice dinner, and watching a good movie.
- Find Your Hobby. A hobby helps you regularly dedicate time to yourself and your passions. Find something you can do by yourself like skateboarding, knitting, or playing an instrument. It'll take time to get good at them, but that's kind of the point.
- Take Yourself on a Solo Date. What are some things you've always wanted to do but could never find someone to do them with? Places you'd like to explore but felt awkward going by yourself? We promise you: no one there will care if you show up alone. So take yourself out to that restaurant or visit that museum solo.
| Love Languages The five love languages are five different ways of expressing and receiving love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
Not everyone communicates love in the same way, and likewise, people have different ways they prefer to receive love. The concept of love languages was developed by Gary Chapman, Ph.D., in his book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts, where he describes these five unique styles of communicating love, categories he distilled from his experience in marriage counseling and linguistics.
