The Three Most Important Things to Say to the Ones You Love

This Valentine’s Day, give someone you care about the gift of these three sentences:

I love you.

I’m proud of you.

You’re doing a great job.

At the end of the day, those three things are all we really want to hear, aren’t they? Aren’t these sentiments and the reassurance they offer often what we are working towards? Don't we crave accolades from those we care about?

I love you.

I’m proud of you.

You’re doing a great job.

Say these words to someone today. If it’s your spouse or partner you might want to throw in a few extra words along the lines of, “I wanna see you naked,” but if that’s not your thing, at the very least make a point to offer three simple sentences of affirmation to someone. You’ll make their day.

If you REALLY wanna get crazy, you might consider saying these words to yourself:

I love you.

I’m proud of you.

You’re doing a great job.

You might even consider writing them on a nice piece of paper and posting it on the mirror in your bathroom for you to see multiple times a day. Can you imagine saying these words to yourself and actually BELIEVING THEM?!?! Perhaps if you say them to yourself ENOUGH, you’ll start to be convinced. And wouldn’t that be a beautiful thing?

Happy Valentine’s Day love! I hope it’s a sweet one. And guess what? I love you. I’m proud of you. And you’re doing a freaking amazing job.

Love,

Elsa
