| Inside: Twenty free ideas for expressing your appreciation
We all appreciate words of encouragement, respect and appreciation.
One of my favorite games I play with my husband is, "3 Things I Love About You."
Anytime I want, I can ask him to tell me three things he loves about me and he will answer.
It always makes me feel great.
He is good at coming up with reasons why he loves me. But for some people, their brain freezes. When they try to answer, they can think of a million reasons they love their partner. But it all gets jumbled up together and doesn't come out eloquently.
For that reason, I wanted to give you twenty free ideas for expressing your appreciation for your partner.
(You can print this list out and use it as a cheat sheet.)

There you go! Print this list out. Stick it in your wallet and refer to it when you need to.
The more verbal appreciation you give your partner, the happier you'll make them.
Part of what you're doing is modeling great behavior when you offer appreciations.
When you're in relationship you're always training your partner, either explicitly or implicitly. I learned this when working with Dr. Patti Taylor on her excellent series called, The Seduction Trilogy.
Susan asked Dr. Patti to create a way for partners in long-term relationships to keep the spark alive. Dr. Patti calls seduction, "moving toward pleasure."
Seduction is not a bad word. As a matter of fact, doing this little appreciation game is seductive - it helps couples have fun together.
And if you want to take it up a notch, watch this video I made to explain how you are always seducing your partner, even when you're NOT paying any attention to move them toward pleasure. (If you are just interested in relationship only information, click here and I won't send you any more insights into passionate pleasure.)

Bottom line, it's almost impossible to be too verbally appreciative. Go ahead and start weaving compliments into your every day relating.
Start complimenting people you work with. Compliment random people you meet.
Being verbally appreciative is a skill. The more you do it, the better at it you get.
And interestingly, don't worry about receiving appreciation. That will come naturally as you fill the world up with your appreciations.
Just Start Now,
Sloane
P.S. One of the things I love about you is your willingness to keep becoming a better person. Just reading this email shows me that you care about others and want to do good things in the world.
