You’re probably used to hearing about the five love languages in reference to relationships. The concept was developed by a marriage counsellor, Gary Chapman, as he found that couples expressed love in different ways, so it helped to determine each person’s love language to understand how they like to receive love, to build a more open and responsive relationship. 

Considering that our personal love language is something that we recognise within ourselves, and it’s something that can’t always be fulfilled by a significant other, it’s important to relate your language to 

self-love. 

Here are some ways that you can show yourself some love in the most effective and meaningful way. If you don’t know your love language yet, you can take this quiz.
