Words of affirmation - How to stop shame and condemnation

Our thoughts, words, and eventually behaviors are like seeds we plant that are taking root and beginning to grow - whether they are negative, shaming and condemning or whether they are positive, affirming, complimenting, and praising others.

The best news is that we get to choose the seeds we plant in our life, marriage, and relationships - and it all comes down to practice. In this video, we're talking about one of the five love languages described in the book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr. Gary Chapman, which is one of my favorite books.

How do you feel about words of affirmation? Is it your preferred love language? Do you affirm or praise others often? Why or why not? :) :) :)
