Telling
someone how much you love them is usually going to make them feel pretty
fantastic. In fact, a recent research study shows that being told
"I'm loved" ranked in the top ten most pleasant activities the
subjects reported.
Interestingly,
it also works the other way.
Researchers
on wellbeing have shown that expressing our love for someone makes us feel good
too. What's more, that feeling tends to stay with us throughout the day.
In the
hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to forget to take the time to
show our love for those we care for. Ask yourself, "Who are the five
people in the world I care about most, and when was the last time I sat down and
expressed that to them?"
It is
suggested that one method for doing this is to write that person a letter, then
go to meet them in person, and Read The Letter Aloud to them. Then, when
you are finished, give them the letter to keep.
People
report having extraordinary experiences as a result of trying this, that
impacted their whole life in a very big way. So, try it out!
