Valentine’s Day is a day couples or love interests go all to express their love. It’s all good but what about those who are single? Can singles enjoy a day like Valentine’s Day? Yes.
After all, Valentine’s Day is all about love and you have to love yourself first before any other. It is OK to long for that special relationship if you are single but you have no reason to feel unhappy in the meantime. You should have a loving relationship with yourself if you are not in a relationship. Use Valentine’s Day as a time to pamper yourself and treat yourself to something you truly want and know that you deserve. Give yourself the attention and love you hope someone will give you one day. It all start with self love, if you are able to love and treat yourself well first, you will be able to do the same for others, and will also never settle for less than what you are used to giving yourself and know that you deserve.
You can be happy as a single on Valentine’s Day. Resist the pressure to couple up if it’s not the time for you, and celebrate the moment. Forget about mopping around this Valentine’s Day! Do something you enjoy doing and catch some fun for you. Some ideas on what you can do are:
1. Cook yourself a delicious and healthy meal, set a beautiful table, create a relaxing mood for yourself and cuddle up with a good book.
2. Stay indoors and watch movies of your choice, while munching some sweet treats.
3. Spread your love by sending out greetings for loved ones in your life or by extending love to the needy.
4. Splurge on a spa package. Relieve pain, reduce hypertension and boost immunity with a massage.
5. Be creative. Involve yourself with something you love doing that has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. It will put you in touch with how great your life is and remind you this is one day out of the year.
Love your singleness and think about the benefits of being single. For example, free time, no compromises on home front, no fighting over remote control, less responsibilities etc. Focus on the benefits rather than the drawbacks. Be happy within yourself.
Will all these lovers continue to whisper to each other’s ear sweet words? Will they keep surprising one another and trips down the memory lane? We all, as single or married can fall into a habit of not acknowledging the people who matter in our life. Why not use Valentine’s Day as a reminder to spend the rest of the year letting people know how much they mean to you. This will show your couple friends that love is everywhere.
Break away from tradition and reinvent the day as a reflection of who you are and a celebration of your life because who knows, next valentine’s day you may no longer be alone and may have someone in your life to treat.
