It is my 21st Valentine’s Day alone—I have gotten quite good at celebrating all the different types of love on Valentine’s Day! I think we all need to see Valentine’s Day as a celebration of the love in your life, whether it’s between you and your friends, your family, or even yourself! Here are five fun ways to celebrate yourself this Valentine’s Day—you deserve it!
- Start Your Day with Affirmations
-
Literally look yourself in the mirror and compliment yourself! You are beautiful, my love!
- Take Yourself Out
-
Get yourself coffee! Or a tea! Or a smoothie! Or all three! Treat yourself to a date.
- Go for a Drive
-
One of my favorite ways to bring my energy up is going on a drive. Turn on some good music, and release all the negative energy!
- Journal
-
I highly suggest writing down all of your worries and negative thoughts and then throwing that paper away. Again, rid yourself of that negativity.
- Rest
-
If you’re as busy as me, rest is one of the best things you can do to show yourself love. Take some time to just lay in bed and let your body rest.
One of my least favorite things about Valentine’s Day is that people think it is exclusively for romantic love—totally not true! Self-love is necessary! Take yourself out this Valentine’s Day because you are amazing and deserve to be celebrated!
