It is easy to forget to show loved ones how much we care every day. There’s nothing wrong with celebrating love, friendship and family through romantic messages, affections and gifts on Valentine’s Day in a tradition of dedicating the day to proving our love. I certainly don’t recommend telling your loved ones they won’t be getting chocolates because they should appreciate the little things. However, it is important to find little ways to show people you love them every day.
Showing someone you love them throughout the day can be as easy sitting down to eat breakfast together, talking a walk together or leaving an encouraging or sweet note for them. Daily reminders of how much we care for people in our lives lets them know you are thinking of them. Every little thing we do for each other adds up.
Doing the smallest things each day can bring an awareness to the everyday things that might have been taken for granted before. Recognizing that the little things can bring you joy, fulfill needs and have a big impact on daily life can make them just as special as the big things. Instead of waiting to do big things for others to make them feel loved, take time to do the little things and make someone feel loved every day.
