While Valentine’s Day is approaching, it’s a good reminder that it doesn’t have to be a holiday about fancy dinners and gifts. It’s a great time to turn inwards and practice self-love and self-care. While self-care does look a little different for everyone, I’ve come up with activities for you to try this Valentine’s Day to connect with yourself.
• Journal and do a brain dump on paper
• Get a massage or facial
• Take a bath or hot shower
• Go for a a nature walk
• Wake up to see the sunrise or watch the sunset
• Take the love language and apology language quizzes to get to know yourself better
• Make a vision board
• Grab a fancy coffee/tea or try making one at home
• Get your body moving (stretch, dance, etc.)
• Create a playlist with your favorite songs
• Read a book or a magazine
• Listen to a new podcast
• Manicure/Pedicure (at-home or a salon)
• Digital Detox
• Buy yourself flowers or a plant (visit your local nursery or flower shop)
• Visit a conservatory and enjoy the sights and colors of the plants
• Practice deep breathing exercises
• Declutter your space, get organized, and start a donation pile
• Light a candle or diffuse your favorite essential oil
• Cook/bake something
• Take a break because you deserve it and probably need it
