Exploring Love Languages and Mental Health Awareness | 3min snip from The Melissa Ambrosini Show

And this will probably carry on to the next one, which is what can we do for more love in our life? You kind of ticked that off, but is there anything else? What's another thing we can do for more love in our life? More
Speaker 1
love. I love, I mean, even looking at your love languages, and one of the things that I like to practice or I've noticed over the last year is not making an assumption that I know what my love language is. I used to think it was touch and gifts. And then I noticed that actually it's touch and quality time. And I looked with my like friends and the people that I'm in relationship with and I looked at, okay, so now I've noticed that I got it wrong or I changed mine. What is it that they think their love languages are? And how are they showing up in our relationship? And have they got it right? And I actually found as well that one of my friends thought theirs was touch and words of affirmation, but it actually wasn't. It was touch and acts of service. So you can often see if you look at how someone behaves and what they do rather than what they say, how they give love and how they receive love. So I think that like a little bit more mindfulness around how we give and receive love can be really, really beneficial. Absolutely.
Speaker 2
So beautiful. Such an easy thing to do. I love Gary Chapman's work. He's actually coming on the podcast very soon, The Love Languages. It's so powerful. I really recommend everyone go and do the test to find out what your love languages are. And you can also do it for your children too, which is a game changer. So I'll link to that in the show notes as well. Babe, this has been so amazing. Is there anything else that you want to share with us? Anything about the book? Any last parting words of wisdom?
Speaker 1
Go for it. Yeah, I think with the book, it's understanding that this is a book for everyone right now. And if you haven't had an experience with suicide or mental health or suicidal thinking, please do not automatically assume that the book is not for you. The book is a book about hope. Everybody needs to read it, whether it is to help you or to help a friend or you've got kids. You never know when they might need the tools that are in there. So that's my invitation to take the journey and to start to boost our positivity, work on our mental health right now. And you can grab the book from onemoredaybook.com. And it's also in all major bookstores. I'm going to come to Australia and do a tour next year as well. So I think I'll come there before you end up here.
