Show Yourself Some Love This Valentine's Day
Forget the typical date-centered V-day vibes and turn your energy inward. We're laying out some of the best ways to practice self-love during this partner-focused holiday.
Centering Self-Love and Wellness
Love isn't just about how you feel toward others. Self-love is essential to our overall wellness because it benefits our mental and physical health. Loving yourself motivates you to better care for your body, mind, and spirit. Prioritizing yourself lets you show up for and love others better because your needs have been met. As Valentine's Day can create stress and anxiety around dating and partnerships, give the day a much-needed update with a self-care date that lets you focus on yourself!
Planning the Perfect Night
Planning the perfect self-care night starts with figuring out what you truly need—stressed out? Focus on movement and relaxation!
- Start with an activity that gets the dopamine flowing! Get into comfy workout gear, do a yoga session, or turn on your favorite playlist and dance it out.
- After working up a sweat, take a luxe bath or shower with your favorite scents and allow your body to relax.
- Slip into cozy, warm lounge pieces, light a candle, and give yourself a spa-like experience with face masks and facial massages.
- Nourish your body with foods you love.
- Journal—Studies show that a daily gratitude journal is an excellent way to practice self-care, as it boosts happiness and reduces stress.
- Do what fulfills you! Paint, crochet, listen to a podcast, or wind down with your favorite movie or TV show.

Creating a Consistent Self-Love Routine
Now that you've had your V-day self-care date, how do you keep the self-love flowing? You may not often have time to do a lengthy routine, but you can incorporate time to connect with yourself every day. Connect with your body through daily workouts, taking at least 20 minutes a day to move in your favorite way. Write in your gratitude journal before bed or just after waking up, and limit the time you scroll on your phone daily, as excessive social media consumption can harm your mental health0.
Self-Love as a Journey
Loving yourself isn't linear. With so many outside influences, falling out of sync with your body and mind can be easy. Don't beat yourself up if you struggle to keep a consistent self-care routine. Self-love is a journey, not a destination. What matters most is recognizing when you need a break and using that time to reconnect and provide yourself with the care you deserve. Self-love isn't selfish; it's essential!
