Valentine’s Day can sting if you are Single. I get it! You just want to lash out at every couple you see. Well take Heart, here are some great ways to Celebrate the day and feel good at the same time.
Treat Yourself: Take a moment to do something nice for yourself. While couples are out on dates spending a small fortune, take time to do something that is relaxing and pampering, or go purchase a gift you have desired. If you like having your nails done, head out to the local spa and do a mani-pedi, or get a facial. If you work out a lot, sign up for a massage. Take yourself shopping for a nice outfit you can wear on the town with your friends. Buy that video game set you’ve been eyeing. If you are feeling brave, order flowers to be sent to yourself at the office. You don’t have to say who they are from!
Go out with your single friends: No one should be alone on Valentine’s day. Just because it’s generally for people who are ‘in love’, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with a good group of people. Take your single friends out to a karaoke bar and sing your heart out. Nothing feels better than being out with good people who understand you. Being single gives you the opportunity to build great relationships with your friends. You have more time to do so when you are single – so give it a go!
Watch a romantic comedy on Netflix. Yes, this can make you more aware of your singleness, but it doesn’t have to. A funny romantic comedy can remind you about the positives of being single. At least you aren’t dating that lady next door with all the cats! Take a moment to laugh and reflect on your life. Sometimes, being single can open- up some of the best opportunity’s life has to offer. You have more freedom to pick up and start a new chapter anywhere you like, there are no strings. So, sit back, and enjoy a laugh with a romantic comedy. There is no judging for Netflix and chill either – so have fun! No Valentine? No Problem!

Stay in and bake some goodies. Staying in every now and then can be a positive experience. Why not bake grandma’s secret chocolate cookie recipe? Studies show that cooking increases your happiness level, according to research reported by Psychology Today. If you’ve got the Valentine’s blues, bust out your cooking gear. In addition, your home will smell nice with freshly baked cookies.
If you’re not getting flowers this year, give them! “Pop into your local store after work and scoop up affordable flowers to distribute at a nearby nursing home,” he suggests. “Nothing feeds the soul like making others smile.” Afterward, you can reward yourself with a fancy meal at a high-end restaurant and relish in the fact that you spread love in an unexpected and authentic way.
