Happy Valentines day! Today is a day where couples and many other people express love to their loved ones. I on the other hand am spending it alone. Which can be seen as a bad thing, but really it isn't. I have been single for a long time and at first I was one of those dreaded people who "hated" valentines day and called it a waste of money. Then as I got older, I have become more comfortable in my own space. So, that is why today I have kind of made it a day for myself. My day is doing things I enjoy, things that will calm and ease my mind into loving and generally making me feel good about myself.
I have been to gym already this morning, as loving the body I am in isn't always easy. Working out and trying to eat more cleaner is something I am working on, so I can learn to love my body even more. They say exercise releases chemicals in your brain that encourages you to feel happier. Today was an extremely intense work out on my part and I did leave feeling much more happier. I am also going to ensure that I will drink a lot more water.
I've even spent the rest of morning and early afternoon pampering myself, it was generally a bubble bath with particularly good book. I have included a face mask and body scrub!
Which kind of brings me to one my next favourite activities. Reading; I love escaping into a book and today I am probably going to be spending most of it behind a book. I am currently reading Jon Krakauer: Into the Wild and by far it has become my best read of 2016.
Drawing/colouring: I may want to sit down and try out some watercolours, who know lets see where this day will take me.
Placing yourself or making your area a happy place. I have currently lit up an incense stick and I am playing calming music. Feeling chilled and happy to be here. I am also doing another relaxing therapy for myself and that is writing. Here I am writing on this post and most likely will be writing in my journal later or in my dream diary.
If you are finding yourself single and feeling alone on this Valentines day, then I suggest you find activities or anything that you particularly love doing and get out there do it. It's a day of love, so why not make yourself happy and do something to make you love yourself.
Claire.
