14th February - It’s a commercial day that can have single people feeling low. Everyone promotes relationships but thousands of people are on their own. Maybe they haven’t having found the perfect partner yet or decided it’s better for them to be alone rather than being stuck in a bad relationship.

The divorce rate in 2010 was 10.2 divorces per 1,000 of estimated existing marriages. It is better to be sure than sorry she says, and likes to remind people with this quote:

If you spend too long holding on to the one who treats you like an option, you’ll miss finding the one who treats you like a priority.

She reminds people that before they jump into another relationship to take time out for themselves and reminds people with this quote.

No-one is going to love you if you don’t love yourself.

As the new President of the International Council of Self Esteem, Janice reminds people it’s important to feel good about themselves first. Also they are not being selfish to leave a relationship that is sour and more importantly, they are worthy of a good relationship.

She reminds people to find a positive win/win relationships rather than one that is one sided or co-dependant.
