How to survive Valentine’s day without a love(r)?

Happy valentine days people! I hope you had a wonderful time and enjoyed your time with your loved one. While 14th February might feel like a beautiful day, for many, it is a reminder of what they are missing and being single can be so confronting this time of the year. 

The best way to get over this feeling is to pour that energy into oneself and make yourself the focus of your love and attention. You can achieve this feeling by so many different and varied ways, but before you do any further, please listen to this song by mary J blige.

Best way to love yourself:

1. cook your favorite meal

This is a day to remind yourself of the battles you won and the strength you had to leave toxic relationships and not be sad that you are alone. It is much better to be alone than with someone that makes you unhappy. A great meal warms your soul and gives you warmth from the inside out. Try Vega met Shane, or My life on a plate.

2. surround yourself with people that love you.

If you feel low during this time, instead of sinking into a depression or crying at pictures of friends and celebrities that receive glorifying love declarations, seek the people that love you (friends, parents, siblings) or surround yourself with things that make you happy. 

3. pamper yourself 

This might be the best day to take time for yourself if you do not have friends and/or family. This day could be a declaration of love to yourself by taking a long bath, listening to music while having your favorite face masks on. slipping on your favorite dress, wearing your favorite perfume while reminding yourself of what a catch you are. We are loving this CBD bath from hbfit, face rollers from Faces & Faces  or their silk scarfs to create cute hairstyles

4. Turn off your social media

Yes!  you read it right. Sometimes looking at people’s lives through carefully curated filters and lightning can give us a sense of failure, in order to protect ourselves from those negative feelings, it is better to remove ourselves from these circumstances and focus our attention on positive aspects of our lives.  Watch your favorite comedy or a book you wanted to read for the longest.
