Be Your Own “Special Person”

by | Feb 22, 2022 | Avoiding Stress, Health & Wellbeing, Self-Improvement

February is supposed to be all about celebrating the love we share with our special person. I’m all about that if we have someone. I love finding just the right card that tells Chris how I feel about him, because I’m all about words! And I love receiving flowers or candles from him, because he’s all about giving little gifts.

You may or may not have a “Special Person,” and you may or may not exchange cards or gifts or anything else on Valentine’s Day if you do. Either way, what I REALLY want you to do, not just Feb. 14th, but all month, is to treat yourself like you are your own “Special Person.”

You can take it out of the realm of “That sounds okay in theory, but what am I actually supposed to do with it?” by using this month’s provocation. Do one or both of the below self-love practices. They feel good (maybe a bit odd, but definitely good!) and they also have a lot of healing power because when we practice even small acts of loving ourselves, we connect to the awesome vibrations and frequencies of Universal Love! Cool!

1. Write a short love note from your Higher Self to you. Grab pen and paper (weird… what’s that?); take a few breaths; ask some version of, “Hello Higher Self, will you help me hear something loving from you?”; and then write down a few sentences – even if you feel like you’re totally making it up. Here’s one you can use until you write your own. This is to you!

“Dear One, you are worthy of a life of great good (even if that’s not what you’ve heard or believed). You are beautiful and loveable right now. You have always been, and will always be inherently, infinitely, innately good. I love you! (You’re doing great with all this Earth stuff, by the way!)”

2. Go to Publix or Kroger or Whole Foods or Aldi (or another grocery store wherever you may be!) and buy yourself a small, beautiful bouquet of flowers. Pick a bunch that calls to you. You can tell it’s the right one because when you look at it and/or smell it, you’ll feel a happy little “pick me up” energy move through you.

That’s it! That’s your Self-Care Provocation for February. There are so many small ways we can treat ourselves with love and kindness. Even before it’s a natural habit, just choosing to do some small kind thing for you will start to make positive, happy, healthy shifts in your life. And you are SO worth doing that!
