Caring For Love At Its Root

Love is a feeling that must be demonstrated through small gestures every day. It is not enough to say how we feel to the loved one. It must be put into practice.

The care of love should not be pushed back or neglected when everything is going well.

Loving beautifully and in a meaningful way deserves attention towards the little things. These are the ones that nourish the roots of this love on a daily basis and allow it to flourish.

When we speak of “nurturing” love, we are not only referring to the bond that we find between two spouses.

We are also talking about this essential pillar with which we must educate a child, showing him daily support, security at all times. But also an affection thanks to which he can gain self-esteem and inner strength to discover the world.

It seems like a no-brainer, of course. We all know what the word “to love” means and yet sometimes we forget that this emotion has to be translated into intentions in order to be visible.

Love must be watered to the root every day and by little things.

We suggest that you think about this here.

To be authentic, love must know how to be demonstrated

We are sure that the following situation speaks to you: You have a loved one who often tells you how much he loves you.

But when you really need that person, they’re not there. In fact, she is never really present to give form and meaning to this supposed tenderness.

Love, therefore, must be demonstrated with authenticity in great things but also in the smallest, in the most everyday.

Tenderness does not refer to a “better time”

People who are always busy and who do not know how to establish priorities or limits between the essential and the secondary generate unhappiness around them.

• Think, for example, of parents who do not offer their children adequate attention because, according to them, they are already overwhelmed with responsibilities.
• Obviously, these days we are all aware that working days are not so well suited to family life.
• But there is something you should never lose sight of: in reality, it does not matter if the time spent with our children is shorter than what we would like: the important thing is that it is of QUALITY.
• Sometimes tenderness and the most sincere love only need a little proof to be understood. If this proof is genuine, it does not matter if it is short.

Love is in the little things, not just in the big things

Some people make the mistake of thinking that once love is there, it won’t go away.

For them, being in a relationship means starting to think that everything can be forgiven, that efforts are no longer necessary, that attention to others is not a priority when there is a life together.

• It is a serious MISTAKE to think so. Relationships are precious and delicate plants.
• A relationship must be nourished from the root, day to day. It needs water, nutrients, light… If it does not receive attention, the plant dries up until its leaves fall and die.
• It’s the same with emotional relationships: when you take something for granted or neglect it, you lose it.

You have to remember the value of the little things, take care of the relationship in everyday life, where all these aspects count:

• The words and tone with which we communicate.
• The language we use: understanding, never dominant; empathetic, never punitive.
• Gestures and looks also matter.
• It is essential to perceive that we continue to be a priority for the loved one, that their need to take care of us is present. She must show that we are important to her.

Don’t put off tomorrow the love you can give today

The best time to show love to someone is always NOW.

It’s not about being fatalistic and thinking about what may happen tomorrow, but about investing in reciprocity to create full, authentic and meaningful relationships.

• It is important to be aware of how we relate to others on a day-to-day basis. But also of what we do for them so that they feel good, that they feel loved, happy …
• Sometimes it takes very little to get a smile from our children. Or even to bring that touch of magic that our partner needs to be loved even more …

To conclude, there is nothing better than to be loved and to be loved in turn, to offer love. It must therefore be done in an intelligent, courageous and respectful manner.

Invest in reciprocity, in daily tenderness, listen to the little things, and make the people you love the most happy as your main goal.
