Valentine's Day was one I always dreaded after my divorce.
As well as all the hype around the day itself,
It was the anniversary of the day I got together with my husband at a university ball.
So, it was a stark reminder of what I'd 'lost'.
I couldn't bear walking past all the card shops with the valentine's displays in.
Or seeing all the adverts on TV for THE perfect gift you should be buying for your Valentine.
And even doing the weekly shop was a reminder with all the Valentine's Day meal deals!
I literally couldn't get away from it...
But after a few years I noticed that it didn't bother me anymore.
Because I was so busy living my life and loving every minute of it.
That I wasn't stuck in the past anymore.
I wasn't obsessing with what I'd 'lost'.
Instead, I was out there living the next chapter of my life and focusing on my future.
And this can be you too.
Start by taking your control back.
There's so much you can do to change your life.
But it starts with you taking responsibility for your own life and your own happiness.
No one else is responsible for your happiness.
So, this Valentine's Day...
Instead of focusing on the past and what you've supposedly 'lost'.
Focus on you.
Show yourself some love.
Starting on Valentine's Day and every day after that…
Here are 8 ways you can start showing yourself some love and celebrating yourself on Valentine’s Day this year:
Above all try and keep it in perspective. It’s just one day of the year with all its expectations and it will pass.
Be proactive and take control of the situation.
Focus on celebrating you, and what you have in life. Think about where you want to be this time next year and start taking steps to make that happen.
