Love Task #11
"Paint Me A Picture"
Often we don't appreciate, or we doubt, the way our partner views us. When we look into a reflection of ourselves we can instantly pick out our flaws, physical or otherwise. What many of us many not realize is that the average person never even notices or knows of these flaws. So, we spend our time silently disparaging ourselves or doubting our partner's acknowledgment instead of living confidently and comfortably with who we are. This love task was designed as a way to get you started on the road to change away from this negative pattern.
On a night you can reserve a few uninterrupted hours alone together, grab a few sketch books, color pencils, two drawing pencils and some erasers. Sit face to face and begin to sketch each other as you see your partner. It doesn't matter if you think you can't draw to save your life (and you may be right!). Focus on the feelings you get when you see your partner. Try to capture what it is that makes you love them so much. If you choose you can color in the picture with the color pencils.
When you are done with the sketch, using the color pencils write 10 words that, to you signify your partner. Are they compassionate, forgiving, independent, strong-willed, amorous, playful, or seductive? Use this as an opportunity to really give your partner a generous dose of confidence boosting.
After you are done with this, swap sketches and talk about the love task or the sketches. If you really love your sketches, have them framed as a constant reminder of your partner's feelings of love and respect.
