The way you show love might not match up with the way your loved ones need to receive love.
That’s why we’re sharing a series on showing love to all the Types in my Energy Profiling system.
(If you missed the first two episodes you can catch them here:
How to show love to an upward, light Type 1 and a subtle, soft Type 2.)
Today, we’ve got some great tips to help you show love to the swift, determined person in your life.
How to show love to an active, reactive Type 3
A Type 3 in my Energy Profiling system has a more substantial, determined energy.
They like results, and they feel loved when you support or help them in creating those results.
Watch the video to hear some of my personal examples. And then hear 3 more important tips to help you show love to the Type 3′s in your life!
Do you have other ideas on how to show a Type 3 that you love them? Share a comment.
(You too, Type 3′s! I know you’re moving fast, but take a second to tell us how to love you best!)
Like I said in the video, Type 3′s are naturally confident. And because they move with sureness, others often think they don’t need to hear expressions of appreciation or reassurance. Go tell a Type 3 you love and appreciate them today! They don’t hear it enough!
Don’t know who’s a Type 3 in your life?
Energy Profiling is the most accurate personal assessment tool you’ll ever find.
And when you know your own Energy Profile and the Type of your loved ones, you become armed with tools to help you create stronger, healthier relationships that work effortlessly.

Great video, thanks for the extra tips Carol and Anne. I like what Anne said about letting them go and do their thing. My husband LOVES to play basketball and I don’t ever put a stumbling block in front of that. It is a huge part of his life and it brings him so much joy. Not to mention exercise, which he loves. He also likes it when I can come and watch.
I like to tell my Type 3 husband things like “wow, you sure get the job done” and “I love how you accomplish so much, I am so impressed” which I truly am so impressed with his ability to accomplish. This Type 2 finds it quite attractive
.
I notice that every time I compliment him, his eyes light up and he feels so supported and comfortable in his natural movement. I know he can do anthing he puts his mind to. I think my support really helps him to feel validated but I also think that he validates himself pretty well too
This information has brought much harmony and joy to our lives and family. I truly thank God for it every day. A huge thank you!

I think what you gals said is pretty right on. I want to emphasize what you were saying that we don’t like other people to judge us for wanting to do something that may seem against the grain. Just cheer us on and let us go for it!

Bam! You nailed it again! That is sooo me! I also do like the occasional token of affection/appreciation too. It’s kind of a concrete (substantial) memento of the affirmation and by substantial I don’t mean it needs to be big or expensive either. Just something that says you notice what I do and how hard I work at it and you’re thinking of me!
And yes, Carol, you will always be appreciated for creating DYT! I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it is to be back in the skin I had when I was young! I have never felt old like some gals my age complain (50s) but I know I feel even more alive and energetic than when I tried to be more of a 2! So glad those days are over! And I am getting so many compliments now even tho I dress less “feminine”
LOL!
I am so happy my sweet T1 daughter will never have to go through the whole fashionista thing! She is now shopping with me and able to identify things that are her style and pointing out things that are not and why! She’s only 6!
Now we just need some of those younger 3′s and 4′s to get out there and become DYT fashion designers and retail sellers! No more Nothings!!! That would be a beautiful world indeed!

This is really helpful, but I have a lot of Type 4s in my life and could use some guidance.
Thanks!

That’s why my DH loves to do the Black Friday sale! He enjoys going by himself (which is FINE by my T2 self who wants nothing to do with it) and participating in the swift movement of that whole process. He comes home with all this stuff he wakes me up to excitedly show me (always more than we had planned on going into it! LOL) and then recount the whole experience of how he went in without a cart so it wouldn’t slow him down, then paid for things and took them out to the car to empty his arms and went back in for more.
Thanks for the tips!

The appreciation and DIRECT expression of affection for me and validation is beyond huge. I feel like I’ve been married for 19 years and I’m waiting for my husband to be since he just switched ‘off’ after he said ‘I do’.
Thanks for posting this and I hope those who love the Type 3′s in their lives take it to heart.

I’ve noticed that several 3′s in my life rally appreciate it when others do the organizing and orchestrated of projects and celebrations….partly because sometimes they can use a break and partly because others gain a really genuine appreciation for their hard work and accomplishments.

I know that it is good to thank anyone when they do something, jobs, etc but I find that my oldest son will STOP doing anything if I don’t hug him and say thank you. He will bend over backward for me. He loves kudos and wows when he does something.
It is the same for my T3 brother. He re-framed & re-roofed my house in 3 days basically by himself. WOW! I WAS grateful!
