Well, Valentine’s Day is a week away. As lots of people who have a significant other will be celebrating with the usual swapping of cards, chocolates, flowers and balloons, others who don’t have a special someone and would like one may want to bury their heads under the covers and wish that the day would be over with. In this episode, after a quick history on the holiday, I will go over how our mindsets will determine how we feel about any given situation, like Valentine’s Day. It may help to remember that Valentine’s Day is just a day that happens to be recognized by society and led by consumerism, but nonetheless, just a day. A percentage of people wouldn’t admit this, but if asked why they are participating at all, internally, they would say because it is expected of them. This one day doesn’t make the realities of actual love any better because actual love is expressed everyday, not just on the 14th of February. Therefore, this day shouldn’t make anyone who is alone and lonely, feel unloved. For you are already loved, valued, and worthy not only on Valentine’s Day but everyday.
