Things To Remember If You Are Single On Valentine's month| Dr Manju Antil| Wellnessnetic Care ~ Dr Manju Antil (Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist)

It's important to say that February 14th can be a source of stress for all of us, from singles to six polys. However, noon on the shortest month of the year need not be determined by your current love situation. Valentine's Day can be a special time to reflect on the beautiful friendships you have and your own strengths and abilities. You can ignore the day altogether, but being single on Valentine's Day is a great way to spend time on other holidays because there are so many fun activities to show how much you love and appreciate yourself, your best friends, and your family. This means that you can enjoy your holiday in the same way as you would. After all, love is romantic, platonic, and familial. If red hearts and pink candies make you feel sick, Valentine's Day is the perfect time to grab a face mask, encourage self-care, and focus on all the gifts you give the world.

1. You are worthy and deserving of love, You are complete, whole loved, and supported even if you don't have a romantic partner right now. The universe is so big and loves you so much. And you are strong, thoughtful, and a mighty force of nature who is so loved and supported by the world around you, regardless of your romantic status.

2. It is better to be single than to be in a relationship for the sake of being in one, You don't need other people to do what you want. It's important to remember every day of the year, is not necessarily about dating. If you want to change jobs, visit a new city, or cut all your hair, all you need is your own opinion or permission.

3. Your worth is not defined by your relationship status or the number of partners you've had. Looking at your friends' relationships and berating you for being single, or rolling your eyes at your roommates and their partners, isn't really helpful. You are you. You will find the right love for you. You don't have to compete with others in happy relationships or compare your standards with others when dating people you don't find cute or smart, or you find them attractive, and intelligent still.

4. It's okay to be focusing on other things like your career or aspirations rather than a relationship,

I live with angels and we all do affirmations at home. From "I love myself enough to let the world know I'm capable" to a simple "I'm good enough", self-care and love mantras and affirmations are very powerful to see and repeat. It may or may not sound cheesy, but remember that you have a right to be lazy or grumpy or that you are strong and powerful can make all the difference. There is a possibility

5. Dating someone isn't the only way to get intimacy, love, and support from another person. Use this day to write to your friends and let them know what they bring to your life or Grab a buddy and connect, whether it's a massage, a meal, or any other fun thing "couples" do. There might even be a pair discount!

6. it's okay to be single! You can order whatever you want and you don't have to share it. You don't have to get gifts from anyone other than yourself. You don't have to compromise your plans or consider other people when doing what you want.

7. Similarly, if you are grieving a breakup or loss, it's okay to take time for yourself and not feel pressured to be in love.

8. you are the perfect flower Being single and taking the time to deliberately and selectively decide who to give your time and energy to is really good. , you don't have to.

Lastly. Valentine's Day is exploited by companies to sell products. It shames singles (and couples) into believing that you must do something special for the day...so that they buy more stuff.

It means as much, or as little as you want it to. If it's something you like, please celebrate it. But don't feel obliged to part take if you are single or even if you're in a relationship.
