Salaams and Good Morning !
Here is your daily dose of Wisdom for Living Your Best Self!
Barbara Frederickson in her book Love 2.0 focuses on two different types of love: compassionate love and
celebratory love.
Compassionate love is when our hearts open up to feel someone’s pain and we wish them a sense of well-being.
Celebratory love is, as the name implies,
when we witness someone else’s happiness or good fortune and CELEBRATE it with them.
How do we do this?
When we see someone with a spring in their step and a smile on their
face, we can take a moment to celebrate their apparent happiness and beam them a silent, virtual high five!
Barbara silently says to herself, "May your happiness and good fortune continue!"
Also when a loved one shares a story about their success with you, CELEBRATE IT!!!
While much counseling focuses on helping couples and families deal with the challenges in their relationships, Fredrickson’s research suggests that it’s actually WAY more important to get REALLY good at celebrating the POSITIVE stuff!
So today’s OTL challenge is this: ask about what a loved one feels good about at the moment. And take a moment to celebrate it with them.
Enjoy the growing good will between the two of you!
Wishing you a day full of positivity,
purpose and peace.
Warm blessings
