Are you feeling sad you don't have a partner/lover to celebrate Valentines Day with? That's a very common experience for single women around this holiday and often V-Day can feel depressing instead of celebratory. But it doesn't have to be that way. It can be an opportunity to celebrate your own love for yourself, which for most women isn't often practiced, because they are so busy taking care of others or bombarded by their verbose inner critics. Valentines day can also be a day to celebrate and cultivate self-love, whether you're single or partnered. Feeling consistent and unshakable love for oneself isn't easy for most people and isn't gained overnight, it can take a lot of practice. I found this great article which highlights mindful ways to cultivate self-love. https://tinybuddha.com//7-ways-cultivate-deep-sense-love-/
