2. Love your partner — (even if you don’t feel loved back yet)
It’s true that you can’t make someone else love you…. but you can love them. Stop waiting for your partner to say “I love you” or behave in a sweet way — be loving yourself first.
Leave your ego at the door. It’s easy to show someone you love them AFTER they do the same. The trick is to remain loving even when your partner is not. Act out brave, loving emotions, not fearful ones.
Jealousy, resentment, hate, depression, anxiety, helplessness, and hopelessness — these are all fear-based emotions. Instead, show loving emotions — appreciation, gratitude, patience, compassion, kindness, and generosity. When you’re in love, you feel your life has abundance. When you’re in fear, you see scarcity everywhere.
