Emotional Labor


Emotional labor in our personal relationships is the effort that goes into noticing those around you that you love. Observing how they feel emotionally and if they are physically not feeling well. It is reminding them that you love and care about their well-being. It is the ability to give unsolicited compliments on specific qualities they possess that you admire, and at times being able to anticipate their needs.
