Couples who\u2019ve been together for years don\u2019t always feel loved the way they\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n<p>Getting more love in your life doesn\u2019t start with changing your partner, or even getting a new one.<\/p>\n<p>It starts with changing how you think about love.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Barbara De Angelis asks a provocative question in her latest book, The Choice for Love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if we could be in love all the time?\u201d she wonders.<\/p>\n<p>What if love isn\u2019t something you get \u2026 but rather something you are?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve often been intrigued by the disconnect between how loved someone feels and the quality of their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve met women who feel absolutely adored, despite the curt or even rude way they\u2019re treated by their men.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also met women who feel emotionally abandoned, despite having a husband who cares deeply and tries his best.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. De Angelis has an intriguing explanation for this.<\/p>\n<p>She suggests that inside each of us is an ocean of love.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes this ocean rises up like a great wave, overwhelming us with joy. Sometimes the waters recede, leaving us feeling empty and alone.<\/p>\n<p>The ebb and flow of our own emotions are what makes us feel loved sometimes and not at other times.<\/p>\n<p>From this perspective, no one can give you love\u2014or take it away. The love you feel is always your own.<\/p>\n<p>This is such an empowering metaphor. It helps us visualize the truth that love is an inside job.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide that you\u2019re going to fall in love with your life, just as it is, then no one can stop you. So what if one particular woman doesn\u2019t return your affections? You still have an entire ocean of love inside you.<\/p>\n<p>Your quest shifts from finding a relationship that will give you the love you don\u2019t have \u2026 to finding out what causes that mysterious surge of love inside your heart.<\/p>\n<p>So try this. Get curious about why you feel love at certain times and not others. Can you remember the last few times you felt that rush of love? What was happening? Who were you with? What were you thinking about?<\/p>\n<p>To help you on your quest, here are 3 love triggers. They pave the way for an overwhelming sense of love in your heart\u2014with or without a partner.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#1. Gratitude<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you take time to feel grateful, you open a gateway to love.<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to think about the things about your life you\u2019re truly grateful for. Consider how lucky you are, and how privileged you are, to have those things in your life. Sit with that feeling of gratitude until it fills your heart as well as your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Notice how close it feels to love?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2. Belonging<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just as love expands your heart to include another, so belonging expands your heart, until you become part of something much bigger than yourself. It\u2019s hard to feel lonely when you know you belong.<\/p>\n<p>So find your tribe. Maybe it\u2019s your family of origin, or the friends you\u2019ve known since school. Maybe you can find your people through work, your passions, or your faith.<\/p>\n<p>Allow yourself to feel that great surge of pride and affection that comes from knowing you belong.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3. Giving<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To fill your life with love, give your love away. Find as many things to love as possible. Let your own love fill your heart, instead of waiting for someone to fill it for you.<\/p>\n<p>Think of someone you can give your love to. Maybe it\u2019s a friend, or maybe it\u2019s someone who needs it, even though you don\u2019t know them very well.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t even have to be another person. Maybe the beach needs your love, because it\u2019s covered in trash. Maybe an animal needs your love, such as those at the local animal sanctuary. Maybe you are the one who needs love more than anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Then do something loving. Let that person, place or thing know that someone cares.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, no one can fill your heart with love like you can. Commit to filling your own heart, and the right relationship will add to your life (instead of saving you from it).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/go\/2ndchancemenb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/men\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MYS-2ndChanceMenB.jpg\" alt=\"2nd chance men\" width=\"933\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/men\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MYS-2ndChanceMenB.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/men\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MYS-2ndChanceMenB-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meetysweet.com\/men\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MYS-2ndChanceMenB-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mirabelle Summers Author of 2nd Chance &#8211; How To Win Back The Love Of Your Ex!
