Quiz Outcomes

1.
Your self-love language is: Physical Touch
Image Source
Friend, if you've stopped here, then your self-love language is physical. You prioritize self-care that makes you feel good! For you, it is important that your senses are involved. Pampering, massages, moving about and really appreciating your body is what bring peace and tranquility to you.Some examples of self-care include: wearing comfy clothes, attending a yoga class or attending a physical exercise class. Cooking a nutritious meal, walking/hiking, or having a spa day are all key examples that tune in to this type of self-care regimen. You might also consider a nice skin care routine that not only benefits your skin, but gives you the physical touch that provides value to you. Break out your favorite face mask or do an at-home facial - you deserve it!"Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start." — Nido Qubein

Your self-love language is: Words of Affirmation
Image Source
"It's not what you say, but how you say it." "Speak truth in love." "I AM ENOUGH." Yes, these are all affirmations. Positive affirmations. Writing yourself a love letter, creating a vision board, creating affirmations on notecards and reading them often are all ways that bring peace, joy and balance to your life. Just like your tone, the choice of words have resounding effects in your life.If this is your favored self-love language, get in to the habit of saying positive affirmations, listening to mindfulness and/or inspirational messages. They will build stamina and strengthen your mental health awareness.Continue to encourage yourself with positive self-talk. Read your affirmations often. Use your words to build yourself up and become YOUR biggest cheerleader.
3.
Your self-love language is: Acts of Service
Image Source
You enjoy making life easier for yourself! Preparation is key to long term success. You thrive when things are set up in advance as it gives you a sense of control, accomplishment, and a certain level of comfort. Acts of Service also can be reflected when you show yourself a little bit of kindness every once in a while. This includes making an appointment at a Wellness Center so that you can find ways to improve your mental health and overall well-being. Setting up reminders for healthy activities (i.e. setting an alarm that will remind you to drink water or stand up). Making a list of important things for the day will continue to provide comfort for you. Three tips to help you on your path to a healthy, happy lifestyle...1) Pick Exercises that Excite YouFriend, exercise doesn’t have to look like you sweating it out in an overcrowded gym. While treadmills, ellipticals, and similar cardio machines are a great option if you’re short on time, they can get a little boring if you don’t switch up your workout routine.Instead of forcing yourself to spend an hour doing something you really aren’t in the mood for, ask yourself what physical activities you genuinely enjoy. It could be something simple as raking the leaves in your front yard or taking a relaxing walk along the creek with friends or family. If you pick something that lights you up, you’re way more likely to get out there and actually do it.2. Rethink Your Sleep RoutineAccording to a recent study, insomnia is on the rise… And it’s no wonder when you think of our culture’s high stress levels and total reliance on technology. Computer and smartphone screens emit a wavelength of light in the blue spectrum, which signals your body to wake up. When you use your devices within two or three hours of bedtime, your body can’t make the melatonin it needs for a refreshing, rejuvenating sleep…So pick your ideal lights out time and press pause on your screens well before then!On top of that, try managing the stress that might be keeping you up after hours by taking up meditation. This will lower your cortisol levels throughout the day so that by night you’re able to fall fast asleep.P.S. Steering clear of caffeinated beverages like coffee and Red Bull will also go a long way in your quest for an eight-hour snooze.3. Cut Out Highly-Processed SnacksMaybe you’ve heard this tip a million times, but I’m going to say it again because it truly is that important. Clean those highly-processed snacks out of your cupboard, friend! I’m not just talking about the chocolate bars and marshmallows.Many supposedly nutritious foods such as pasta, peanut butter, and granola bars are jam-packed with sugar, salt, and chemicals that non-scientists can’t even hope to pronounce.Find whole-food alternatives to your favorite snacks. I.e. instead of highly-processed fruit leathers, try drying apples, apricots, or whatever suits your fancy with produce straight from the farmer’s market. Even junk foods like potato chips can get a healthy makeover! Don’t be scared to get a bit creative…

Your self-love language is: Receiving Gifts

Friend! Your self-love language is gifts that allow you to make an investment in yourself. You are able to speak to your self-love language through means such as this: picking up a special coffee or drink from your favorite coffee shop, treating yourself to a new purse, new outfit or buying supplies for a new DIY craft or project. Purchasing something special to commemorate a milestone in your life is another example. A simple pleasure of picking up some items that you wish to donate to a local charity also brings balance to your life with this self-love language. The truth of the matter is that you feel full through investments that you put into personal gifts whether it something small or a big ticket item.
5.
Your self-love language is: Quality Time
Image Source
Quality time is all about having that precious "ME TIME". Having time to your self in a way that enriches you and fills your "tank" with love and positive energy is important. Introverts may fall in to this category. Quality time is essential for healthy relationships with others as well. Think of this time as staying in tune with yourself and being present at the moment.It's important for you to spend quality time with yourself or to invest in hobbies and passions that you are passionate about.Remember: Take the time to invest in yourself. Just having a few moments to have some "me" time will replenish your tank. By meditating regularly, you will be able to be more present during the time you set aside to relax. It presents an opportunity for you to get quite, quiet your spirit, spend time reflecting and being present in the moment.
