SHOWING LOVE THE RIGHT WAY PART 3

By

Hello friends... Hope you're having a beautiful day. I sure am having a beautiful day and I am super excited about continuing this series.

If your love language is Quality time, you would notice that you love giving attention to friends and loved ones, you listen attentively when they speak and you spend time with them. Also, you'll notice that you feel hurt when you are ignored by someone you are close to. Although, this may not be the love language of other people around you (some people may even interpret it as time wastage or possessiveness), you have to understand their own love language, learn it and speak it to them. However, knowing your own love language (self awareness) helps alot, especially within the marriage institution, it helps your spouse a great deal.

On the other hand, a person whose love language is words of affirmation is very good at compliments, giving encouragement, knowing the right words to describe an individual or situation, may as well be good with poems and love notes, amongst other things. They are also sensitive to the words spoken to them by other people, one has to be careful about what you say and how you say it to the people with this love language. These people hold appreciation, apology and greetings in high regard, they do not joke with it. However, as with other love languages, not everyone speaks this love language. Some people even interpret it as flattery, but if it is your love language, do not be discouraged. Speak it liberally but also make deliberate effort to learn other love languages too.

Another love language is acts of service. Hmm! This, I must say, from my own perspective, is one of the most tedious love languages but trust me, a person who speaks this love language does not think so. They are ready to do virtually anything to show that they love you. Help or assistance is the watch word.

... To be continued...

WHAT MAKES YOU BEHAVE LIKE YOU?

Recently or should I say for sometime now, there's been a lot of questions on my mind about why I act the way I do, why I react a particular way to a situation, different from how another person would react in such situation, what makes individuals act alike or differently as the case may be, etc. Okay, these questions kept coming so, I used one of the special and most useful products of technological advancement, the google search engine to solve the mystery. Of course, I discovered that these questions were popular to the majority all around the world, which gave rise to research on why we act the way we do by psychologists and other individuals. From my finding, this research gave rise to the discovery of what we now refer to as TEMPERAMENTS. My simple definition of temperament goes thus: Temperament refers to the fundamentals of why we act the way we do when presented with different situations or circumstances and also in our daily lives. These fundamentals are genetic

An INFJ's Journey To Self Discovery

©16personalities.com In one sentence - It was hard. Growing up, I discovered quite quickly that I was different. The two words that I remember being used to describe me while growing up were - "Quiet and Slow." There were many instances in which the words were used but, the most notable experience was my tenth birthday anniversary.  I was born into a Christian family, so most celebrations were carried out within the religious gathering - my ten years old birthday celebration was not excluded either. It was a surprise celebration - I had no idea that it was being planned until the birthday morning when a huge cake landed on our doorstep. We (My family and I) took the cake and some snacks to the church family for the celebration, as was the norm.  Several people who had close relationships with me were given the chance to talk about me during the ceremony. I remember vividly because the event was recorded into a tape which I watched severally growing up. My brother

Self Discovery and Your Basic Temperament

In a previous article , we introduced temperaments as the fundamental reasons we act differently or alike as the case may be. The four major temperaments known are: Choleric (extroverted) Sanguine (extroverted) Melancholic (introverted)   Phlegmatic /Supine (introverted) Each of these temperaments have traits that are unique to them. When the temperaments blend together in a person, we see the person exhibit traits from their temperamental blend. The traits they show more determine their Primary temperament while the Secondary temperament, as the name implies, balances it out. The four temperaments combine to form blends which are 12 in number. You might also show tetiary and quaternary traits from other temperaments but these are negligible.  The 12 blends of temperaments (from the most extroverted to the most introverted) are:  Sanguine-Choleric (San-Chlor) - Complete Extrovert Choleric-Sanguine (Chlor-San) - Complete Extrovert  Sanguine-Phlegmatic (San-Phleg) -
