Ep. 44 Be Your Own Valentine - The Importance of Self Love on Valentine’s Day

This week, Ang is here with a special Valentine's Day episode. Valentine's can be a hard time of year, especially if you’ve just been through a divorce or even if you’ve been on your own for some time. Traditions and expectations associated with the day can make us feel like we’re not good enough if we do indeed spend it alone. However, fear not, Ang is here to reframe Valentine’s Day for all those powerhouse single parents out there. In this episode, Ang breaks down how you can change your Valentine’s Day into a day where you celebrate the love you have for yourself and give yourself the best Valentine’s Day you have ever had.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ang’s first Valentine’s Day after her divorce started out as a very difficult day. But, a moment of realisation helped her change the narrative and have her best Valentine’s to date. She details her experience so that you can learn from it.
• Ang’s first tip for making Valentine’s Day a day to remember is to look back on how far you’ve come already and to find the positives. And, even if you don’t see them straight away, Ang reveals, they do exist.
• Valentine’s Day can act as a spotlight that shines on what you are missing and not what you have. But, Ang reminds you that being alone is not the same as loneliness and being by yourself can very well be an opportunity to grow.
• What if you reframed Valentine’s Day to celebrate the love you have for yourself? Ang lays out how this can work and how it will make you feel.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“It can take a lot of strength to pull yourself up when you’re in a difficult place, but doing so can be the most rewarding and healing thing you can do.”

“Affirmations can feel foreign after a difficult relationship, but they can make such a positive difference in your life.”

“If you don’t love yourself, now is a great time to start because we can’t expect anyone to love us if we don’t love ourselves.”
