Are you ready to embark on an empowering journey of self-love?Ā 

Taking the time to date yourself is a beautiful way to get to know your true self and unlock your highest potential. And as you start this journey of self-love, you’ll find yourself becoming more and more confident.

So, forget society’s stigma around being single – take time for yourself and experience the amazing things that come with it.

Remember, for anyone else to love you, you’ve got to love yourself first.Ā 

If you are still thinking about taking the plunge and starting to date yourself, here are 3 ways to embrace self-dating and find the confidence you deserve.Ā 

Indulge in Some Self-CareĀ 

Taking the time to indulge in self-care can help you stay healthy, reduce stress, and feel more connected to yourself.Ā 

So, take some time out to show yourself some love.

Ā Plan a Date Night With YourselfĀ 

Treat yourself to a solo date night every now and then!Ā 

Taking yourself out on a date is a great way to practice self-love and self-care. It allows you to reconnect with yourself and your needs and desires without any distractions.Ā 

So set aside a specific day and time for your date, just like you would with someone else. Put it in the calendar and make sure to follow through.Ā 

Let yourself indulge in whatever activity you feel like, whether it’s going to the movies, indulging in a spa day, trying a new restaurant, or just staying in and watching your favorite show.Ā Ā Ā 

This will also help to bring a stronger and more confident version of yourself into the dating scene.

Treat Yourself With Love And Kindness

Being kind to yourself is often easier said than done, but it’s one of the most important things you can do for your mental health.Ā 

Instead of beating yourself up for your missteps, try to focus on the positive and be compassionate with yourself.Ā 

Talk to yourself in the same way you would talk to a best friend, and don’t be afraid to give yourself a break. Self-compassion and love can help you stay motivated, reduce feelings of helplessness, and ultimately lead to better mental health.Ā 

Remember that every day is Valentine’s day if you love yourself. So instead of feeling valued on just this one day, let’s make every day a day to celebrate love.

Jaclyn Baker

Valentineā€™s Day is all about celebrating love, friendship, and admiration.Ā 

But love can come in many forms. It is not just about romance, but about showing care to those around you.Ā 

Love can be shared between family, friends, peers, and within ourselves.Ā 

With that being said, we encourage you to make room for self-compassion this month (and every month).

Hereā€™s how…

Self Care

Having a spa day and pampering ourselves can be a great way to relax. You can eliminate distractions and refocus your attention on how you feel by treating yourself.Ā 

You can light some scented candles, draw a bath, or read a book you love.Ā 

Reach Out to Loved Ones

Connecting with the people who love us can be a way to give love back to ourselves.

Reminding ourselves of the people who are there for us can reinforce our self-love.

You can take a moment to call an old friend or video chat with a family member who makes you smile.Ā 

Do What You Love

Doing more of the things you love can give you a healthy outfit to explore your interests.Ā You can either participate in activities you know you love or take the opportunity to try something new.Ā 

ā€œTo fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness.ā€ – Robert Morley.

Hereā€™s Why Trees Make Us Happy

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to de-stress, try spending more time in nature surrounded by trees. It can be very therapeutic.

Trees Improve Your Health

Itā€™s about time to add trees to your gratitude list.

Not only do they release oxygen, but they also have the power to improve your health.

Studies show that spending time in forests can improve our immune system and heart health.

An apple (and a tree) a day keeps the doctor away.

Trees Make Us More Generous and Trusting

Think this sounds too good to be true? Well, just listen to this experiment.

One group of university students were instructed to look at a building for one minute.

While the other group of students were asked to look at a group of eucalyptus trees for one minute.

The group who studied the trees felt awe and a sense of wonder.

I think we can all agree, that was a minute well spent.

No Act Is Too Small

Being around trees isn’t an all or nothing activity.

So, camping or hiking may not be for you – and thatā€™s okay!

Visit the park over lunch. Look out the window throughout the day. Plant a tree in your yard.

As a parent, of course, you want your kids to be confident.

The thing is, getting started can be a little tricky. There’s no set in stone rule book. However, there are quite a few techniques that can work wonders on your child’s self-esteem and confidence.

Help Them Say Goodbye to Self Judgment

Sometimes once a negative thought enters our mind, we just canā€™t seem to part ways with it.

Sound familiar? No need to worry.

This is where mindfulness comes into the picture.

Mindfulness is all about focusing on the present moment.

Think your child is too young to practice mindfulness?

Think again…

Studies show that preschool aged children who practice mindfulness have decreased stress levels.

Compassion

Did you know kids as young as 3 years old can feel compassion?

Yup, it’s true.

The world is their classroom.

Your kids look up to you. Your everyday words and actions impact them more than you may think. One of the best ways to teach them compassion it to show it to them regularly.

Itā€™s officially time to say goodbye to the question ā€œAm I good enough?ā€
