My Five Star Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What I Loved:

The book is categorized into five distinct language types which include a range of processing techniques. Each language type is clearly defined by the way individuals perceive conversations and situations, and is then finalized with ways to strengthen your connection with a person who has that particular language type.


Why I Would Recommend it:

I was able to identify friends and family easily in each of the language types, myself included. This was an eye-opener for me and changed my perception immensely. Whilst it did make for heavy reading, stirring up buried emotions, it also gave renewed ways of engaging which I found highly valuable.


What I Didn't Like About the Book:

Personally, I found the healing of buried emotions difficult to navigate. However, I'm certain we all know how vital it is to heal these hurts in order to move forward with our relationships of all kinds. The other advice I would heed is that the writing does refer to bible passages, but this didn't deter from the underlying message for me, as I simply related it to my own belief system.


Favorite Quotes:

One of the most healing things a person can experience is feeling understood before being corrected.


Love is more than shared laughter. It's showing up even when the mood isn't right.


And the most life-changing quote in my opinion:

Unspoken hurt builds walls.

Hot 🔥 Relationship Goals

Goals to Make Your Relationship Zing! Image credit @unsplash by @jonathansborba When James and I completed our Date Year Experiment, we came away with solid ideas of what we wanted our relationship to look like. We set goals to ensure that we got the very best outcome. I'll outline some of them here, along with additional ideas from practicalintimacy.com https://pin.it/1N7Qi1l 🔥 Know your boundaries and limitations:          ❣   As well as knowing your own boundaries and letting your partner figure out theirs, you also   need to know your limitations: own your faults, your shortcomings and areas of   required improvement. Don't try to dictate your partners' limitations to them, this is about you taking ownership of your own stuff. 🔥 Validate your own feelings and emotions:         ❣   Maintaining the status quo to keep the peace is not an option.

Wild Walks & Writing Sprints

Image
I'll show you how they fit together hand in glove:  I have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to keeping a story flow alive while travelling away on holiday. My current work-in-progress has me inspired to keep writing every day, trouble is, we had an extensive holiday planned long in advance.   Not a sit and stay type holiday, but a hop and a skip to new places every day kind of holiday . Still, I managed to fit in a writing sprint every single day, and enjoy our holiday adventures to the full! How? Come with me: I used Pockets of Productivity (PoPs) in 10 minute writing sprints on my laptop: • My PoPs included at a cafe sipping an extra shot small skinny latte while waiting for vehicle feedback. • In the evening instead of watching television (hubs preoccupied with rugby). • In the campsite while admiring the view when my husband read his book (I had time to read too). • Early morning with birds twittering in the background before breakfast. • Basically any time you can ...
