Whether you are happily single or enjoying a love relationship,
Valentine's Day can trigger old conditioning and pressure. Release what you
have been taught that feels awful. Forget conventional celebrations and go for
fun.
Laugh a little and love a lot with these simple strategies. . .
If you are single:
1. Expand Your Love Concept - Celebrate love your way. You are
connected to love always. Be grateful for love and it multiplies. Many
different types of love bloom inside you at this very moment. Have a blast remembering
all the types of love you feel for: friends, nature, pets, hobbies, groups or
organizations, sports, reading, music, art, food, exercise, or creating what makes
you happy. If there are 36 words for snow, you have 50+ types of love within
you now. Clarify and celebrate all of them.
2. Make an Appointment with Yourself - Make time on or close
to Valentine's Day for a Valentine’s celebration. Do something you love. Make
yourself a priority and allow time to do one activity that energizes you.
Commit to do what fires you up and honor your commitment to yourself. You are
important. Feel the joy inside of you well up and connect with what you love to
do. Celebrate your value with self-love.
3. Give Yourself a Valentine - Yes, you deserve a valentine
from you to you because you are with you for life. Make it fun. This is a great
opportunity to connect with giving and receiving from both sides. Get excited
about what you are giving yourself, this is not the time to be boring or
practical or fix the vacuum. Don't be traditional, be bold and personal. Treat
yourself. Tell people. Giving a gift to yourself celebrates your self-worth.
If you are in a relationship you value:
1. Take A Moment to Reflect - Take time out and breathe. Remember
your self-love. Now is the time to connect with yourself and get clear. What have
you learned about yourself in your relationship? What have you learned about
your partner? How do you feel about your relationship? How can you create more
harmony your relationship?
2. Take the Pressure Off - Do what brings you and your
partner joy. Simple joy. Ditch expectations and really connect with your
partner. Set aside time to deeply focus and listen to each other. Take turns
expressing your feelings and understanding where you are at this point in your
relationship. Use your authentic empowered voices to express to each other what
is important and in your hearts. Mindfully create more closeness.
3. Challenge Yourself to Do the Unexpected - Switch it up. Decide
if and how to express your love to your significant other. If traditional
expressions of love have become stale or expected, ditch the jewelry and
flowers. Get personal with your partner. Go for what delights you, makes you
laugh or what lifts your energies. Honor and celebrate that you are two
individuals that have created a different dynamic combined love.
Mix them up and make them your own. Let me know what works for
you. Valentine’s day is for love and we all are here together in onelove.
Love On.
