Survival guide for singles
For singles
1. Accept your emotions.
If you're feeling lonely because you're not in a romantic relationship, or sad over the recent ending of a relationship, give yourself permission to feel what you feel. Talk to a trusted friend or write in your journal about the feelings this day brings up. Remind yourself that it's only one day and that this day, too, shall pass.
2. Be social.
Organize a group of your single friends for dinner out or a potluck on Valentine's Day. Just because you're not in a romantic relationship doesn't mean that you don't have people who love you and whom you love in your life. Take this day to honour and celebrate these relationships.
3. Treat yourself to Valentine's fun.
Buy some flowers for your kitchen or a box of your favourite chocolates, schedule a massage or make an appointment at the spa. You're perfectly capable of treating yourself. You don't need a partner to do it.
