It’s that time of year again. Just walk in to ANY store and there is a display that reminds you Valentine’s Day is February 14. Great! The expectation is that everyone is in love and will be having the most wonderful experience on that day but what about the people who are single on Valentine’s Day-are they nothing but a bunch of losers?
Well, if you are believer in the mythology of true love you might think this is the case and begin to feel lonely. But if you know this isn’t completely true, what can you do to enjoy the day in spite of the lack of a partner?
Plan in advance to do something that will not place you in the path of couples who are in the throes of love and get together with people who do love you-friends and family, the ones who have a relationship with you. Maybe you could have an “un-Valentine’s Day” party.
Do something for someone else. Helping others always helps us feel better and what better way to raise your own spirits than to raise the spirits of someone else.
Think positively about yourself instead of focusing on the negative idea that you aren’t in a relationship and maybe next year you will find yourself in a different place either in a relationship but happy just the way you are.
