Valentines day is here and as some celebrate, there are some who dread the the hearts and commercial side of it all, yes it is over done but this is a time to embrace and apply it to your life.
Now that Mercury retrograde and survived through the holidays, here is Valentine’s Day. Seeing Soulmate hearts in all the stores and malls, hearing friends, family and colleagues speak about Valentine’s Day plans and then asking you what are yours?
This triggers all kinds of energy. For many, it feels like Valentines day February 14 is like prom night for adults, and you have no date, or your date isn’t who you want them to be. It brings disappointment for many, when Valentines day is a day of love.
But not just in a love relationship, as I mentioned in my previous blogs and videos, you first have to learn to love yourself, even if your single, married, separated or not with your Soulmate.
Tips for coping and getting through Valentines day
Social media became a major part of our lives, most of us get info, look for news and check out our friends pics and profiles. So start with taking a day off from Twitter, Facebook, pinterest, snap chat, and Instagram, or at least limit your time.
You know, you are not alone one in the world who looks through your Ex’s or Ex’s friends profiles, but only what is displayed publicly, the true life situations will not be displayed. Seeing friend’s romantic status updates and pics with their festivities and loving gifts will only intensify self-pity and keep your energy in a negative mood about yourself.
Try going to Homeless shelter or nursing home and volunteer, giving your time to make people who are in need feel extra special, going to a hospital and ask special events for the patients.
Looking up special non profit and function local organizations in your local area and see if they have a events plan and give your time. You will find yourself so wrapped with fulfillment of love shared and gratitude that will have special memories every Valentine’s Day.
Go back in time like when were in elementary school, we gave friends Valentine’s cards and we was so excited. For work make a heart shaped Valentine’s card made of a huge cookie. Or something more healthy try a large arrangement of sliced strawberries, cherries and raspberries. Something creative and nice for the people around you.
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples, it’s excellent for friends, kids, siblings, parents, also your pets! And you don’t have to spend a lot of money on people you love, but just get creative with it and have fun
Your status for Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean anything. If you beat yourself up for not having the relationship or in the situation you want, this is not anything to do with self love and your only hurting yourself even more. You need to love you and it can be like any day of the year.
A day you love yourself openly and unconditionally, willing to be open to the future and focusing on you, not on the true love with your soulmate or twinflame that you hope to find, but on the love of yourself.
Buy yourself something special. This doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive, just something you normally put back or change your mind about getting for yourself
Getting physical Exercise.
Go for a nature walk, run, hike, try something fun and take a Les mills or Zumba class. Just remember, any type of fitness will release toxins and endorphins. You will feel great.
Try a road trip getting in the car with your kids or a by yourself and take a nice road trip to some place in your area that you’ve never visited. Go to historic area or dine at a country restaurant. A road trip is the best way to see a variety of areas in your city.
Go to a wine tasting event, this is a great way to celebrate on Valentine’s Day without spending a fortune. You can order appetizers or other food with your wine tasting. Make it a night getting out and you can get to know other people. I know most Whole foods stores have it every Friday.
Decorating your home in Red and hearts.
We decorate for Easter, Halloween and Christmas, why not on Valentine’s Day. You can get inexpensive decorations like heart balloons, roses, and red table mats at the target.
Above everything, Love Yourself!
Make it a weekend event start with a spa day, taking hot bath with lavender and rose petals. Give yourself a facial, pedicure and manicure. Plan to have a delicious dessert, watch that new Jessica Parker Movie – All Roads lead to Rome movie and have a big tub of popcorn (that’s where I will be). It doesn’t matter what you do on February 14th, just love and indulge yourself. This is your time and you deserve it!
Have a Happy Valentine’s day!
