Ways to celebrate love (no matter your relationship status)

February is a special time of year when we honor and celebrate love in all its forms. It doesn’t matter if you are single or in a relationship, it's important to remember that love comes in many forms.

Practice self-care
Love starts from within, and taking time for self-care is a way of loving and honoring yourself. Self-care can take many forms, from taking a relaxing bath to reading a book; going for a walk or practicing yoga. Whatever form of self-care you choose to practice, make sure to prioritize yourself. Remember that self-care isn't selfish! Instead, it's essential. Your future self will thank you for it.

Connect with friends and family
Love is not always about romantic love. It is also about the love we have for our family and friends. One way to express that love is to reach out to your loved ones and show them that you care. Whether it's sending a thoughtful message, giving a card or gift, or simply spending time together - connecting with others is a great way to show love and appreciation. If you don't have plans for Valentine's Day, consider a family dinner or even rounding up a group of friends for a Galentine's Day dinner instead.

Volunteer
Volunteering can give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Helping others can reduce stress, improve your mood, and even be a source of pride, all while you’re giving back to others and your community. You never know, you may even meet a friend in the process. You can reach out to a local charity or non-profit organization to see if they have any planned programming that you can volunteer for. Consider organizations like your local food bank, retirement home, animal shelter, or even the children’s hospital, depending on your interests.

February is a special time of year where we honor and celebrate love in all its forms. Whether it's the love for yourself, your family and friends, or those around you and your community, remember to take time for yourself and connect with others.
