Spread the Affection on Valentine's Day - No Need for Rose Bouquets
Love, a powerful emotion and the core of who we are, doesn't come with conditions. It responds with understanding, not judgment, and it's an action we can practice daily. This is the message that Jacqueline Way, a committed advocate for global change and a Mom of 3 boys, wants to share with the world.
Jacqueline, inspired by the ideas presented in Neale Donald Walsch's best-selling book, has launched the #all4Love campaign. The campaign aims to transform not just a single day but our entire approach to love. It runs from February 10th - February 14th, but the message is clear: every day is an opportunity to nurture and express love.
So, how can we practice love daily? Small, simple actions can make a significant difference. Beginning each day with a commitment to perform at least one small act of giving can help make love a daily practice. Here are some key simple ways:
- Make eye contact and greet warmly when you see your partner to show they matter.
- Use micro-affection: hold hands, hug, touch reassuringly to express care and affection.
- Express appreciation and say “I love you” aloud to affirm love and value.
- Spend undistracted quality time doing activities you both enjoy or trying new things together.
- Communicate openly and listen actively to maintain emotional intimacy and trust.
- Practice daily gratitude and perform small acts of kindness to boost happiness and connection.
These daily habits build emotional safety, trust, and intimacy, forming a strong foundation for lasting love. Remembering our true nature as babies, who start as little bundles of love, can help us integrate love into our daily lives.
Participants can sign up to receive a daily idea to give love every day. They are also encouraged to write a message in a love letter to the world as part of their post. Sharing a selfie or video of how they express kindness and love on social media during the campaign is also welcomed, with the hashtag #all4Love.
The #all4love campaign aims to redefine how we express love using social media. If love were a person, it would always act with kindness and patience, offer words of encouragement and support, and respond with understanding, not judgment. Let's embrace this vision and make every day a day of love.
