We often forget why we love the people in our lives, letting the beauty of our relationships fade into the background as we take them for granted. Yet, when we pause and reflect, when we truly immerse ourselves in the love we feel for those who matter most, something magical happens.
Creating an “I Love You Because” list is a simple but profound act—it allows us to honour the connections that shape us, to heal the parts of us that may have grown distant, and to remind ourselves that love, when nurtured, is the most powerful gift we can give and receive.
Gridlist 104: The Instruction
START: Sometimes we take our loved ones for granted without even realising it. Let us take a moment to remind ourselves why we love those around us.
Make a list of the special people in your life and write one to three standout reasons why you love them. Breathe new appreciation into your relationships.
Do not leave anyone out! I love you because…
Examples for Your Gridlist 104:
1️⃣ Person: Mum - I love you because…
You always support me, no matter what. Your strength, wisdom, and warmth have shaped me into who I am today.
2️⃣ Person: Best Friend (Sarah) - I love you because…
You make me laugh even on my worst days. You are always there to listen without judgment, and your loyalty means everything to me.
3️⃣ Person: My Child - I love you because…
You remind me of the beauty in life. Your curiosity, kindness, and pure heart inspire me to be a better person every day.
Take a moment to reflect, appreciate, and express gratitude—because love grows stronger when acknowledged.
In Short...
This Gridlist serves as a powerful gratitude exercise—helping you take a step back and acknowledge the love and joy in your relationships. It is a chance to intentionally reflect on what makes your loved ones special, ensuring that appreciation does not go unspoken.
A simple act like this can strengthen bonds, heal emotional distance, and deepen your sense of connection with those around you.
