Show Yourself Some Love on Valentines Day
Whether you’re single or coupled on Valentine’s Day, make sure to show yourself a little love throughout the day. As therapists, we encourage our clients to value self-love and self-care. When we love and take care of ourselves, we are able to show up in our relationships and work in the best ways. Here are 3 ideas to show yourself some love this Valentine’s Day.
1. Start the day right.
Wake up 5 minutes earlier than normal and listen to a short guided meditation. Insight Timer and Headspace are good apps for this.
Set an intention for your day (i.e. “Today, I will pamper myself.”)
After the meditation, enjoy your favorite breakfast.
2. Give yourself a treat during the day.
If you like chocolate, buy yourself a couple of pieces (or a box!).
If spending time outdoors is your thing, take a walk or eat lunch in a park.
If time permits, schedule a massage for your lunch break.
Or send yourself flowers (and remember to write a kind note to YOU).
3. Plan an activity for the evening.
Dinner with your partner or a friend. A Netflix date with yourself in your favorite PJs. Food delivery from your favorite restaurant.
Whatever you decide to do, be sure to plan it in advance so you can look forward to it during the day!
