2️⃣ Write a gratitude letter. Don't just say it; write it. Write a gratitude letter to your loved ones, telling them how much you appreciate them and why. Be specific and heartfelt. You can also send them a card, a note, or a text message.

3️⃣ Do something nice. Don't just write it, do it. Do something nice for your loved ones, showing your gratitude and love. It could be a gift, a favor, a compliment, or a hug. It doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate, just something that makes them happy.

How to Understand Your Partner Better with Jay Shetty’s Rule 5 of Love ❤️

Do you want to improve your communication and connection with your partner?
Do you want to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings that can hurt your relationship?

If yes, then you need to read this post.

Rule 5 is about taking the time to understand someone else’s perspective, especially your partner’s. This Valentine’s Day, let’s listen to them and try to see things from their point of view.

Understanding your partner can help you:

✅ Build Trust and Intimacy.
✅ Resolve Conflicts and Problems.
✅ Appreciate and Celebrate Your Differences.

Practical Tips to Apply Rule 5

1️⃣ Ask Open-ended Questions. Open-ended questions invite your partner to share more about themselves, their opinions, their experiences, and their feelings. For example, instead of asking, “Did you have a good day?” ask, “What was the best part of your day?”.

2️⃣ Listen Actively and Attentively. Listen to understand, and listen with your full attention. Put away your phone and other devices and focus on your partner. Nod, smile, and make eye contact. Use verbal and non-verbal cues to show that you are listening and interested.

3️⃣ Repeat and Reflect. Please don’t assume that you understood your partner or that they understood you correctly. Repeat and reflect on what they said, and ask them to do the same for you. For example, you can say, “So what I hear you saying is…” or “Let me see if I got this right…”. This can help you clarify any misunderstandings and confirm your understanding.

Following these tips, you can understand your partner better and improve your relationship. You can also become a better listener and communicator with your partner and everyone else in your life.

You can access the Cognitio Plus virtual sanctuary to help you improve your love, mindfulness, and well-being.

Rule 4️⃣: Love 💜 is About Acceptance!

Acceptance is the foundation of love.

It means seeing ourselves and our partners as whole, imperfect, and unique beings. It means embracing our strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences, hopes and fears. It means letting go of expectations, comparisons, and criticisms. It means loving ourselves and our partner unconditionally.

How do we practice Acceptance? Here are some tips:

1️⃣ Be mindful of your thoughts and feelings. Notice when you are being harsh, negative, or unrealistic about yourself or your partner. Replace those thoughts with positive affirmations, gratitude, and compassion.

2️⃣ Communicate openly and honestly. Express your needs, wants, and boundaries clearly and respectfully. Listen to your partner’s perspective and try to understand their point of view. Avoid blaming, shaming, or attacking each other.

3️⃣ Celebrate your individuality and your connection. Appreciate your harmful and your partner’s interests, hobbies, passions, and goals. Support each other’s growth and happiness. Spend quality time together and enjoy each other’s company.

How to Grow with Your Partner and Achieve Your Goals Together with Rule 3

Love is not just a feeling; it’s a practice that requires constant growth and improvement.

Practical Tips on Applying Rule 3: Love is About Growth in Your Relationship

1️⃣ Set a Shared Vision. One of the biggest reasons couples drift apart is because they have different visions of what they want in life. To avoid this, create a shared vision with your partner, a clear picture of what you want to achieve as a couple and as individuals. This way, you can align your actions and decisions with your shared goals and support each other.

2️⃣ Celebrate Each Other’s Growth. Another way to grow with your partner is to celebrate each other’s growth, big or small. Acknowledge and appreciate your partner’s efforts, achievements, and progress, and express your gratitude and admiration. This will boost your partner’s confidence, motivation, and happiness and strengthen your bond and intimacy.

3️⃣ Learn and Grow Together. The best way to grow with your partner is to learn and grow together, to share your interests, passions, and hobbies, and to explore new things as a couple. Never stop learning and growing to keep your relationship exciting, fresh, and fun. Challenge yourselves and your partner to step out of your comfort zones and try new experiences that will expand your horizons and enrich your lives.

Following these tips, you can grow with your partner and achieve your goals together. You’ll become happier, more fulfilled, and more in love than ever.

How to Make Your Love 💜 Last with Rule 2️⃣: Love is a Two-Way Street.

Whether you’re single, dating, or married. Here are some tips on how to make your love a two-way street:

1️⃣ Communicate clearly and respectfully. Don’t expect your partner to read your mind. Share your feelings, thoughts, and desires honestly and calmly. Listen to your partner’s needs and expectations, and try to understand their point of view. Ask questions, clarify, and give feedback.

2️⃣ Compromise and find a middle ground. You and your partner may have different opinions, preferences, or goals.

Be flexible and willing to make adjustments or sacrifices for the sake of your relationship.

How to Show Your Love 💜 Through Actions, Not Words

(Rule 1️⃣ : Love is not a Feeling but an Action)

Love is not just a feeling; it's an action. Every day, we make a choice to show up for the people we love and do what's best for them, even when it's hard.

Here are some ways to show your love through actions, not words

1️⃣ Be present and attentive. When you're with your partner, please give them your full attention and listen to what they say. Put away your phone and other distractions and focus on them. Show them that you care about their thoughts and feelings.

2️⃣ Do something thoughtful. Surprise your partner with a small gesture that shows you're thinking of them. It could be a note, a flower, a gift, or a favor. It doesn't have to be expensive or elaborate, just something that makes them smile.

3️⃣ Express appreciation. Don't take your partner for granted. Tell them how much you appreciate them and what they do for you. Thank them for their support, kindness, generosity, and patience. Let them know how much they mean to you.

4️⃣ Be supportive. When your partner is going through a tough time, be there for them. Offer your help, your advice, your comfort, or your encouragement. Don't judge them or criticize them. Just let them know you're on their side and believe in them.

5️⃣ Be respectful. Respect your partner's opinions, preferences, boundaries, and decisions. Don't try to change them or control them. Accept them for who they are and celebrate their uniqueness. Please don't lie to them or betray their trust. Be honest and loyal.

Pray for our country!!

Mental Health Meditation

Anxious? Stressed out? O hindi makatulog?

May epekto ang ating mga pangamba at naiisip sa ikinikilos ng katawan. Sa panahon ngayon, hindi natin mapigilang mangamba dahil sa iba’t-ibang bagay—“May COVID 19 kaya ‘yung taong bumahing kanina? Saan ako kukuha ng pagkakakitaan? May tulong pa bang darating? Babalik pa ba ang lahat sa normal?” Ang mga iniisip nating ito ay nagiging senyales upang “ma-activate” ang ating katawan—bibilis ang tibok ng puso, darami ang adrenaline sa katawan, at madalas ay hindi mapapakali.

Mahirap pakalmahin ang maingay na utak kaya’t maari nating subukang pakalmahin muna ang katawan. Kapag kumalma ang reaksyon ng katawan, makapagbibigay ito ng mensahe sa isip na kumalma rin nang sa ganoon ay mabawasan kahit papaano ang epekto ng stress at anxiety.

Nasa atin na ang isa pinakamabisang stress-reliever: ang paghinga. Sa tuwing di mapakali at nangangamba, subukan munang umupo at pagaanin ang katawan. Maari ring isara ang mga mata. Huminga nang dahan-dahan gamit ang ilong sa loob ng 4 o 5 segundo. Panatilihin ang hangin sa loob mga 2 segundo at dahan dahang pakawalan ang hangin, gamit ang bibig naman ngayon, sa loob ng 3 o 4 na segundo. Sa pagpapalabas ng hangin sa bibig, isiping may kandila sa iyong harapan at papatayin mo ang sindi nito ng marahan. Huminga ng ganito sa loob ng 10 o 15 minuto.

Isang simpleng gawain lamang ito ngunit napatunayan ng mga pag-aaral ang kahalagan ng breathing techniques upang marelax ang katawan. Kapag gumaan ang pakiramdam ng katawan, ganoon din ang isip :)

It may sound cliché and straight forward, but how we talk to ourselves matters. Try and reflect and listen to your inner-dialogue.
