One thing I really believe is that there's no reason to wait until Valentine's Day to show your significant other how much you care. If you're anything like me, you're probably bursting with romantic ideas and advice for making the most of this holiday. What prevents you from performing it each day? Sometimes I think it's dishonest that individuals wait until a single day in a year to show off all of their accomplishments and display their romantic gestures on social media. I'm not into that kind of behaviour; instead, I think it's important to live an authentic life. Thus, to make that day really memorable, you must truly care and give it your best.
Your gesture ought to be unique, heartfelt, and stand out from the throng. But there's no need to overspend—there's something to fit every budget. We are here to assist you in making a grand entrance and flirting with your beloved this Valentine.
In situations when neither party is in control, having to relinquish power can occasionally be a really positive experience. So here is a simple tip to start with: take a walk in tandem to spend some quality time together and take in the fresh air. It's a great way to lose yourself down country lanes while searching for a secret picnic site or somewhere to deliver a surprise gift. Decide to savour the well-rounded experience.
Oh and - don't forget to pay attention to details
There's no better way to express your affection for someone than to listen to what they have to say. Almost 75% of British people would rather have their partner show interest in their profession than do something more conventional like purchase flowers. Remember the date of that important business meeting or event they planned to demonstrate that you're paying attention. Wish them success and be sure to enquire about it. This is far more charming than a simple "How was your day?"
Create your own gift vouchers
A thoughtful gift is always the one that is most valued. Your Valentine will be extremely thrilled with a "home-cooked meal for two" voucher, where the food is prepared ahead of time. You may even create a dessert meal and plan some enjoyable things to do with your special someone. Personally, I would suggest this. In fact, there are a lot of inexpensive craft books available online; simply search for "Valentine's Day Vouchers" or "Love coupons" to find lots of inspiration.
Get ready to take the -Plunge.
No, we're not talking about popping the question or plunging to one knee in front of a woman. We are discussing skinny-dipping! Discover a serene, covered, and secluded area with an abundance of secure tarns, rivers, and waterfalls in the Lake District. Get up early and go for a skinny dip with caution of cos, please make sure the area is safe and secure too.
Plan a surprise trip:
A romantic flame that never goes out is a surprise. After work, pick up your significant other and take them on a mystery date. Alternatively, plan a weekend getaway and devise a treasure hunt for them to guess your destination. Similar to novelty, surprise maintains the passion and vibrancy of romance.
Here are other ideas you could try:
*Attending an outdoor film screening
*Travelling your own city like a tourist
*Engaging in your favourite childhood board games
*Savouring an al fresco picnic with a Spanish twist
*Taking your pooch out for a dog-day afternoon
*Frolicking at the fairgrounds
*Cruising on a sailboat
*Taking a stroll at the farmer's market in the morning
*Drinking wine and stargazing in a Jacuzzi
*Relax at the beach with your loved one
Prioritize yourself this valentine
Ok, we have talked about those in a relationship, but why should Valentine's Day be for only couples? Who says single people can't also enjoy the day and give themselves some well-deserved self-love and self-care experience?
Since I am an advocate for "Self-Love," I decided to keep practising what I preach by ordering myself a Valentine's Day Package -Flowers, a Teddy Bear, Chocolate, and a couple of other items, I made sure to aim the delivery date for Valentine's day last year meaning I'd have to look forward to receiving my goodies in anticipation, like a little girl as I had no idea how they would package it and what it would look like but I just selected a package
I also added a letter to myself, penning only a few lines to my "Inner Child," encouraging her to never stop smiling and to know how much I adore her. I won't lie, it felt great to have it delivered, to sit and carefully open it, to see how wonderfully packed it was, and then to see my little letter to myself, which just made me grin reading it and re-affirming it. (Yes I adore positive affirmations).
Being kind to yourself helps you bounce back, live healthier, and stay on track.
Self-compassion and Self-Love is a way of relating to yourself that do not involve harshly judging or punishing yourself for every mistake you make or every time someone does better than you.
So please do not live yourself out, practice self-love daily, find time to enjoy your own company, light the candles, turn on a wonderful movie that appeals to you, play some music that soothes your mood, cook your favorite meal, invite a good friend over, have a laugh -I mean it (laugh out loud), you know why? because life is too short for you to waste it being sad and wondering why you are single, love yourself, and give yourself the same love you are trying to give everyone else.
Before we round up - here are a few tips by Lifestyle, health and fitness expert- Caroline Jordan
Take a walk without a destination. – It’s a great way to get some exercise and clear your mind. Be mindful of what you see, hear, and feel.
List the things that you’re grateful for. – You can’t help but feel better when you literally count your blessings.
Try something new. – Go out on a limb. Learn something new. Do that thing you’ve always wanted to try. The more experiences you have, the richer your life will be.
Ask for help. – This can be hard. But it’s so important to recognize when you need a sounding board, or some advice, or an extra pair of hands.
Say no. – Your time is valuable. Set boundaries to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
Give a compliment. – Telling someone that they had a fantastic idea or that they look beautiful in that color creates a pleasant environment and makes two people feel good for the price of one.
Stop worrying. – It’s going to be fine. Because it is.
Trust yourself. – You are smart, capable, and talented. Your choices are just as valid as anyone else’s. Don’t second-guess yourself.
