A: Yes. Turn it into a self-care day for you! Date yourself; take yourself out to eat, book a massage (if you can), listen to Miley Cyrus, and “buy yourself flowers.” Flowers not for you? You can get a tattoo, go out of town, make plans with friends, dive into a new book, try a new workout…self-care is honoring yourself. Do the things that make you happy and take the day (or weekend) to treat yourself like royalty. Another consideration is to stay off social media for that day. Get out on the trails and into nature. The birds and the winter weather are happy and serene without anyone leaving them giant red hearts. Sometimes a social media detox during any holiday is the brain break you need away from ads and influencers!
I’m single and Valentine’s Day is triggering. Got any advice?
