Speaker 2:That's a lot to get through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're not going to try to unpack all of them.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:We're really just going to focus on the ones that I think make us really think Okay and explore different types of love.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:And then see how they can help us understand ourselves better.
Speaker 2:I like that. Yeah, so I mean, what's interesting to me is how the source starts with self-love. Okay, it's like they're saying you can't truly love others until you like, understand and appreciate yourself.
Speaker 1:I see that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like prompt number one. It asks what are three qualities you love most about yourself and how do they help you navigate the world? It's not just about you know what you like about yourself, but how those qualities actually influence your life. Your decisions actually influence your life. Your decisions, even your relationships.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then prompt number five goes into setting boundaries. Oh yeah, which is, you know, a big part of self-respect.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Recognizing your worth and needs, not being afraid to protect them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not selfish, it's healthy. Definitely it's essential.
Speaker 2:Prompt number 10 really made me think. Okay, it asks you to write a love letter to yourself.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:I mean, have you ever done that? I have not. It seems almost radical, yeah, but I can imagine it being a really powerful way to practice self-compassion.
Speaker 1:Absolutely Acceptance. It forces you to acknowledge your own strengths and beauty which can be hard to do sometimes, yeah definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So we're starting with this foundation of self-love Right, but then, speaking of relationships, the source dives into those next.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I noticed a recurring theme of gratitude.
Speaker 1:Okay, and effort. You see it in prompts like number one, where you're reflecting on a moment you felt deeply loved.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Or prompt number four, where you consider how acts of service can actually strengthen your bonds with others.
Speaker 2:It's about showing love.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's not just about feeling it, but showing it Exactly. Prompt number seven really caught my eye because it's all about resolving conflict.
Speaker 2:Interesting.
Speaker 1:It seems like a lot of people just avoid conflict.
Speaker 2:They do.
Speaker 1:But the prompt suggests that you know, working through disagreements, if done constructively, can actually make relationships stronger 100%.
Speaker 2:It's about communication, understanding different perspectives, finding solutions together.
Speaker 1:And what's cool is that these prompts don't just focus on romantic relationship. They talk about friends, family, all the different connections in our lives.
Speaker 2:Relationship Right. They talk about friends.
Speaker 1:Yeah, family, all the different connections in our lives.
Speaker 2:I like that.

Speaker 2:Oh, which is interesting because they also delve into the more practical side of romantic relationships.
Speaker 1:Prompt number six, for example, asks how you and your partner express love differently.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that's really crucial for understanding and navigating a long-term partnership.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:And then there's prompt number seven. Okay, a letter to your future partner. Ooh, that one really got me thinking. If you were writing that letter right now, what hopes and dreams would you pour into it?
Speaker 2:That's a great question. It's a beautiful way to imagine the kind of love you want to build, the qualities you value and the journey you hope to share. It encourages intentionality and self-awareness.
Speaker 1:I love that. From there, the prompts kind of broaden out even further, talking about a love for life in general. Okay, what struck you about this section?
Speaker 2:Well, there's a clear connection between love for life and gratitude. Several prompts encourage you to appreciate the simple things, express thankfulness and, you know, find beauty in those everyday moments.
