Let's talk about Love!

Have you ever been in a relationship where you truly loved your partner, your friend, your job or even your boss, then you started to feel that love is fading away?

Well according to professor Robert Plutchik, you should check if you still are having this “Joy” that you were having when love was stronger! Or you need to check the level of “Trust” you still have in this relationship!

We always believe that Love is a simple emotion, since it is one of these emotions that we all experience in all areas of our lives.

Yet, according to professor Plutchik in his “Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions” Love is a compound emotion resulting from the combination of Trust and Joy! The more Trust & Joy, the more Love is felt.

So, whether you love your partner, friend, job or even your boss, this means that you trust them and enjoy being with them.

Love is the energy of connecting safely and happily!

Trust is an emotion that makes us feel safe and helps us connect. And Joy makes us feel pleased and gives us energy. Any time one of these emotions starts to fade we feel that Love is not as strong as it was before, and we sometimes are not aware of what is affecting it. 

When we understand this “Theory of Emotions” we can also understand why we sometimes feel that love is fading, and we can also choose to revive this love by finding how we can have more joy with our partner or in our job. We can bring more awareness to our Trust-meter to decide what choices we want to make for this relationship.
