VALENTINES DAY…What does it really mean to Y O U ?
In most countries, Valentines Day is an opportunity to sell all sorts of symbols of love. Those symbols beginning with flowers, chocolates, wines, gifts of all sorts including getaways, spa visits, holidays ...etc. . We seem to put so many expectations into Valentines Day being a day where love must be shown by a loved one or to a loved one. If you are solo today.. perhaps you are feeling a lack of a loved one, sad about a past relationship or even repulsed about the idea of Valentines Day.
To some, today is a day that causes anxiety, highlights a fear, or affirms the idea that you are not lovable, unworthy.. or alone, again. . We need to step back and remember, the world around us doesnt have to be the world we decide to live. Yes, it can be hard sometimes not to fall into the racing current of mass thought, but the truth is, Valentines Day, like any day, is a day where you decide what is important to you because YOU are in charge of creating the meaning to every moment in your life.
In truth, if love is what you believe in and is an important value to you, then why spend your time feeling down because of comparison to the outer world? Comparison for the sake of highlighting what you lack is just the opposite of love, so why not SELF-LOVE instead?
Gifting to yourself today in true self-love is really a practice for everyday. So if you havent yet, why not start NOW. Here are some ways you can make everyday for you, a Valentines Day:
💘 Recognise your unique beauty. Remember, there is no-one in this world exactly like you! Its true!!
💘 Take the time to self-love through taking the time to nurture yourself. Prepare your food, moisturise your body, take your time to prepare yourself for the day and dont rush!
💘 Write down all the things your have accomplished this week or this past month. As small as they might be, write it down. None of your effort is to small to be recognised!
💘 Make quality time for you. Even if you are in a relationship, making time for yourself to explore your desires, inspirations, creativity and ideas is one of the GREATEST gifts you can give yourself.
💘 Clean your home, love your environment, make your space inspiring and uplifting. Even if you dont have the best conditions, an effort to love your environment can change how you feel in life.
💘 Think about the blessings in your life - these do not have to be magical and exceptional circumstances or hapoenings. Recognise all the things that come EASY to you and be grateful for them. Write it all down!
💘 Make a list of 10 things you can do for yourself this week that id 100% for you. You dont need friends to validate your choices so tell them about it when you are done!
Give yourself a chance to be happy by resting your negative thoughts. Remember, where your thoughts go, energy flows. Its the law of the universe! Choose to recognise that YOU are a wonderful gift of life and choose to be your own Valentine…even if you are in a relationship. Loving yourself first makes loving others easy. 💘
