5 Solo Things To Do On Valentine's Day If You're Single
In the right hands, with the right attitude, Valentine’s Day can be one of the best days for treating yourself, sans guilt. Seriously! Why not take the day to focus on feeling loved and amazing — and to splurge on yourself a little, too, while you’re at it? Shift your perspective and hone in on that self-love feeling.
Things to Do If You’re Single on Valentine’s Day
Hit the spa.
Couples massages are awkward anyway, right? Take advantage of this solo time for you and your muscles; relieve stress and tension and get a soothing, blissful massage from the hands of a professional. You’ll be on cloud nine before you can say, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Write yourself a love note.
OK, you don’t need to butter yourself up (it’s not like you need to ask to take yourself out on a date), but positive affirmations have lots of benefits, including relieving stress. This practice in self-love will boost your mood, instill a better sense of confidence, and leave you with a glow like no other.
Sweat it out.
When it comes to showing yourself some love, a sweat sesh is in order. Work up a fiery sweat in the gym while you improve your overall health and well-being, reduce stress, and work on that bod.
Bring treats to your girlfriends or to the office.
Sometimes the best way to feel empowered is to do something nice for other people. Bake some cookies or rice cereal squares with cheeky Valentine messages, and get ready for some laughs.
