The Ultimate Guide to Self-Love: Being Single On Valentine's Day Is A Blessing.

Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do

Whenever you are on the plane, you get welcomed by long safety instruction that, if you like me, don’t actively listen to. But still that is one thing the pilot instructs you to do: put your own mask first before you can help others next to you.

You may ask what does a safety instruction have to do with self-Love or even Valentine's Day? Well, what It means is that you cannot help anyone else unless you help yourself first. In other words, you cannot take care of anyone else unless you can't take care of yourself first. That is what self-love is. It is the generous act to treat yourself with the same compassion you would do with everybody you care for.

In this blog, I talk about the importance of loving your self especially the single ladies on Valentine's Day.

What is self-love?

True self-love is the generous act of knowing yourself and accept yourself fully as you are and still have room for self-improvement. It comes from a place of gratitude and abundance which is led by the willingness to give and share with others.

On the other hand, I do understand people thinking that taking care of yourself first can be selfish because there is a selfish way of self-love. The selfish way comes from a place of lack and the need of approval of others to not feel alone. These people see others as an object which they can use to cover their own lack of acceptance.

This selfish way of self-love is not what we are talking about here, that is not what you are here for. You are here to learn more about the true self-love that comes from a place of so much abundance that you can’t do anything else but share with others as well. Therefore, true self-love is not selfish but selfless.

Although you can practice this at any time of the year, being single on valentines is an excellent opportunity to take care of yourself as much as you do for others.

But then you may ask “What can I do” “how do I take care of myself on Valentine's Day?”. Practising self-love can be different for each and one of you. For you, it might be just preparing a healthy home-made meal. For others, it might be just reading a book or a spa day.

It doesn't matter what you do, the most important thing is that you take a pause and dedicate valentines day doing something that fulfils you and makes you better as a person.
