Five Ways To Embrace Valentine’s Day On Your Own. Advice For Singles
As we head into the annual day focused on celebrating love, Tiare Tolks, Compatico’s relationship expert has advice for single people who may be feeling the stress of being solo.
"Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a day of solitude; it can be a day of self-discovery and empowerment," says Tiare Tolks.
- Find love in unexpected places. Love comes from many people so reach out to someone who makes you laugh or feel good about yourself. And love comes in various forms, beyond romantic attachment. Connect with friends, family or even a furry companion who uplifts your spirits.
- Embrace Novelty - Step out of your comfort zone and explore a new experience. Novelty is good for the brain, try a new cuisine style, discover hidden neighbourhoods, try a new movie genre. Change invigorates the heart and mind.
- Celebrate your strengths - reflect on your unique qualities and achievements. We never do this enough.
- Start a journaling habit - go buy a beautiful journal and use self-reflection to grow.
- Love yourself - do what makes yourself feel good. Get a massage, go for a barber shave, buy a new book, watch a favourite movie!
"If singles are feeling daunted by the day, then use the day to give yourself an extra reason to embrace individuality and indulge in some pampering” concludes Tiare.
