How frequent should the nurturing of love be? It depends of course, but very likely: daily. You can’t act on the energy of love once a week/month and expect a warm, lively relationship with your partner or yourself.
I think it’s more obvious when we’re talking about a relationship between two people. But what about when you’re single and the love you’re giving is to yourself? It’s much easier then to forget that a more frequent acting on the energy of love is necessary. Seriously, if you have both the experience of being in a relationship and then of being single later, think about how much you were acting on love in the relationship vs then afterwards when being by yourself. The contrast you might observe can be very big. The conclusion is that the amount of love you are giving to yourself when you’re single might not be enough, which can make you feel lonely and lacking, and make you think that you need another person to alleviate your lack of love.
Remember that love can be nurtured through little gestures. It’s not just about the big things. Think about what small things you could be doing for yourself to express your love – e.g. writing loving sticky notes for yourself, having a comforting daily ritual, acting every day on what you want most but you’re resisting, smiling at yourself in the mirror every time you see yourself. Pay attention to what “works” (do you feel loved by the gesture?) and do these things out of love. (Not out of routine. It can’t be mechanical.)
