When I think of Valentine’s Day I think of smushy greeting cards, terrible poems and a dozen roses…. yuck! Why do we have to express love one day of the year? Why not every day? And where should our love begin… with ourselves of course!

So how can you express self appreciation? Start with giving yourself a compliment, think of something you really like about yourself and say it out loud. Right so, how about practising it every day… not so easy to remember is it, you’ll be great for the first few days and then you soon forget? So try this… get your phone out and put an alarm on your phone for an obscure time of day. And when it goes off, stop what you’re doing and give yourself a compliment, simple! The best Valentine gift you can give yourself this February is to start loving yourself first!
