Love Promotion

Yesterday, I delivered a great speech in Toastmaters (International Public Speaking Club).  As I don't have anything to do, I sometimes just go and pretend I am a speaker! ;)
I am going to share it here with you.

I am going to promote love.

Why? Why not? Everybody wants love! Especially in London, where everyone seems to be so cold and distant.

I looked up the definition of 'love' in the dictionary. It means 'an intense feeling of deep affection'.

Not very clear, right? If someone has never experienced it or is not sure about how to get it, I don't think they can know what to do. So here I am to help!

Where is that feeling coming from?
Can you make me feel something if I am not open to it?
Can you learn something, if you are not open for it?

And a few more questions!

Have you ever rescued an animal that was almost dying, but you brought it back home and took care of it?
Have you ever had a baby?
Have you ever had a pet, not just a dog or a cat but a turtle or even better example, a fish?




Are these loving to you?
Can you feel love towards them?
(Put your hand up if so) hahahaha I can imagine you doing that alone in your room and its SO cool!

A mother makes the decision of loving its baby before its even born. Can we make the decision of loving right now?

Loving as well as falling in love is a decision. If you have never loved or fallen in love, it can be because you don't REALLY want to or you are just not ready for it. Of course exceptions to the point as par usual.

Love comes from within, same as happiness. I know it can be hard to understand, you just have to TRUST ME!

So it is clear that it is not only about receiving but about giving/ loving.
When you smile at someone, you usually get a smile back. Same with love. When you love someone, you may get love back.

What do you remember the most - the relationships where you were loved but you did not love back? Or the opposite ones?
Clearly we suffer more when its the ones where you loved more...
We do enjoy more when we love and give...

So why can we not give love to everyone straight away?

I am going to challenge you, to show you this is true!

Pick someone you have around, remember that pet you had, how much you loved it, make the decision of loving and feeling. The hug you are going to give to that person you have around.

HOLD IT - HOLD IT - ENJOY IT!


LOVE IS JUST A DECISION

The smell of love - How not to miss him or her

Pheromones. We've also all heard of them, but what actually are they and how do they effect us? Cue boring science-y bit, let's learn something together. Pheromones are a type of hormone that operate outside of the body and send signals which are received through the nose. These signals effect members of the same species in either a physical or emotional way.  NOTE. I am going to confess something by the end of this article, so read the whole of it or go to the end! According to research conducted in Sweden using brain imaging, men and women can send and respond to these signals through an area in the brain called the hyperthalamos which deals with sexual behaviour and emotions specifically.  So what we are really saying here is that men (or women) looking to get some action, release the smell of I-am-looking-for-action and that someone will respond to this, all without words. You know that feeling you get when you first meet someone and you are way n...

Unconditional love, or not really?

The idea of unconditional love is...interesting... First of all, let's start with some questions because I have a lot to say regarding this particular issue (let´s say challenge). Why do we like love? Why do we crave unconditional love? Who decided that that  unconditional love  was what we wanted, biologically we are not meant to be monogamous are we? And finally... Do you really want unconditional love? Do we really want love or have we just been programmed by Disney to believe that we are all Princesses lost in our search for our Prince so that we feel like we need something more to find our 'Mr Right'? (But this is a whole other rant about consumerism for another time...). Of all the ways you can show that you love someone, from materialistic to emotional support, why is it that we want the display of unconditional love above all else? Who took the hardest part of love and put it on a pedestal that we all now have to aim towards and feel horrible when we ...

Yesterday I Cried

I would not normally share a picture of myself in this condition. And not just because it does not happen very often, but because when it does happens, its not something I like to promote! But this time however, I thought 'come on let's do it!' There must be many people who have felt like how I felt yesterday.
