Purpose Wellbeing

1. Identify Your Love Language:

If you’re unsure, take a quick online quiz to determine which of the five love languages resonates most with you:

• Words of Affirmation (verbal encouragement and appreciation)
• Acts of Service (helping others to show you care)
• Receiving Gifts (thoughtful, meaningful tokens of appreciation)
• Quality Time (giving undivided attention and shared experiences)
• Physical Touch (appropriate gestures like hugs or high-fives)

2. Recognize the Love Languages of Others:

• Think about how your friends, sisters, family, mentors, or others prefer to receive appreciation.
• Ask them directly or observe what makes them light up when receiving kindness and gratitude.

3. Show Appreciation in Their Love Language:

Choose three people you want to intentionally appreciate.

Use their preferred love language to express gratitude:

• Words of Affirmation: Send a heartfelt text or write a handwritten note.
• Acts of Service: Do something helpful for them, like running an errand or assisting with a task.
• Receiving Gifts: Surprise them with a small, thoughtful gift (it doesn’t have to be expensive—just meaningful!).
• Quality Time: Schedule one-on-one time to talk, grab coffee, or share an experience together.
• Physical Touch: Offer a warm hug, a reassuring pat on the back, or a high-five to celebrate them.

4. Reflect and Make it a Habit:

• Journal about how it felt to show appreciation in a way that was intentional and personal.
• Set a goal to continue recognizing and appreciating those around you in the way they best receive gratitude.
