Happy 💕Valentines Day💕, my gorgeous friend! This year, put a little twist on this day of love and be your own valentine!
One lesson I’ve learned over the years is that it is not someone else’s job to fulfill your needs. That is YOUR job.
Here are 4 ways to Be Your Own Valentine:
- Treat yo self! Buy yourself flowers and chocolate, or something else that you’ve been wanting. Maybe it’s a new lipstick or foundation, or maybe it’s a new book! Don’t wait for someone to buy you what you want it’s ok to make an investment in you!
- Ask for support in the areas where you need it. You do not have to juggle everything on your own, but you do have to speak up. So tell other people what you need.
- Show love to a stranger, or your your kids, or your mom. Ask yourself “How can I be of service today? Who can I surprise? Who needs a word of encouragement? How can I show love to other people today?” Isn’t it amazing how good it makes us feel when we help others out?
- Make a list of 5 FUN things you’d like to do in the near future and then go out and do them! Think about what makes you feel happy, and then commit to do it beyond just today. Life is just too short to get caught up in the “should’s”. What do you actually want to do, and what makes you feel good? Make time for those things!
Just remember to show love to yourself! Just ask yourself what YOU need, and then give it to yourself.
