Love is
not all about sharing romantic moments with your special someone. It's ideal
that you get a bunch of red roses, chocolates , having candle light dinner then
making love to your partner till the break of dawn or even after that.
But for
those who don't have anybody to share these picture perfect moments with on
Valentine's Day, don't fret not just because you are not in any kind of a
relationship. Valentine's Day is not only about
loving others. It' is also about loving yourself.
Take
time to appreciate your accomplishments. Not only in terms of professional
achievements and the amount of work you did for the week, months and even for
the year. But how you thrive or even just survived the feat against the
challenges of life. From losing a couple of weight gain, to normalizing your life after a break
up or quitting smoking is a moment to celebrate yourself.
I know
of an old friend of mine who buys herself red roses on Valentine's Day because
she feels like she deserves it. And argued vehemently that she doesn't want to
wait for a man to give flowers to her.
Right, she is. There is no limitations as to
how you can make yourself happy. You know yourself better than anyone else. You
know what will make your day or what will put a big smile on your pretty face.
Treat yourself for a spa or an out of town
trip or even watch a movie at home or at the cinema or simply pour a glass of
wine and worry about getting tipsy later. Who cares about getting tipsy on a
Friday night, anyway?
Be kind
to yourself. You are your self's best friend. You can't love your future
partner if you don't know how to love yourself.
As for me,
I just prized myself for a quick run today. I breezed through a 6 km run
feeling the fresh wind touched my face on a 14 C temperature. Endorphins that
kicked in soon after made it so much better. My spirit soared and left me feeling
good , energetic and joyful throughout the day.
What I
feel inside will manifest with how I look on the outside. I did this because I love myself. If I can do
it, you can do it too.
Nobody would love yourself better than you do.
Happy Love Month!
