You know it is very easy to make other people feel loved than yourself. Infact, I would say that it’s the least priority of people and before you try to deny it, I would like to ask all the busy bees what did you last do to pamper yourself? I’m not trying to make you feel guilty, it is just a reminder that you need to take care of yourself with or without romantic love in your bag. This valentine’s day, before you set out to spread love to your bae, learn to love yourself. Time to redefine the meaning of this “love day”, and make it your own day because there is nothing wrong with ordering a valentine’s day cake for yourself as you would have done for your bae. Here are some perfect self care tips to prepare yourself for the valentine day.
Take break from social media
Well, social media is a blessing that connects people from around the world. While it has made things easy for us, it comes with some disadvantages too. People who are addicted to social media tend to get driven from it. It decides their mood, it decides if you are happy or not because whatever they see the most of the day, they become more like it. This valentine’s day, if you really want to be happy, take a break from social media. Social media platforms have the power to control your mindset without you even knowing. It can make you happy and sad in just a few seconds.
Treat yourself
You never think even for a second while you plan to treat your partner with everything special to make their valentine’s day extra special. This is the point when you don’t even think about your budget or any other factor because all you want is to see your partner smile. This time, do the same for yourself. Treat yourself with the best you can because you deserve it. You may have the best bae in the world, but you have to love yourself gifts and this is the prime step to prepare yourself for vday. Buy valentine’s day flowers or make your favorite dish.
Do something healthy
You know doing something healthy instantly makes you happy. It is the best way to destress when under a lot of pressure, make you feel good about yourself and you feel empowered and happy because you did something healthy for your body and mind. It is a important step of self care. You dont need to do much, just some things like, go out for walks and feel how your mind and body just feel so much better. Time and again, try to detox yourself.
Stay away from comparison
You know you can try everything and still be depressed if you compare yourself with others. If you really want to take care of yourself, this valentine’s stay away from comparison. Stop looking at what other couples are doing for the day. Instead appreciate what you have and who you have.
