Love Yourself First This Valentine’s
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, the conversation everywhere turns to love. Whether you’ve found it, lost it or are still looking, one thing is certain – we all have the chance to love ourselves more deeply.
As the saying goes, “We only accept the love we think we deserve.” Intention plays a huge role here. At a goal-setting workshop I attended at Lululemon last month, one participant shared something that resonated with the whole room – they’d decided to stop waiting for a “plus one” before doing things, especially travelling.
It’s a simple but powerful reminder: know what you deserve, be comfortable in your own company and say yes to the things that bring you joy. So this Valentine’s (and every day of the year), treat yourself, take that trip and enjoy the chocolate – guilt-free.

Make a date with yourself – whether it’s coffee in your favourite café or a long walk in nature.

Treat your senses – light a candle, sip your favourite herbal tea, or smooth on a nourishing balm.
-
Move for joy – dance in the kitchen, stretch, or stroll in the fresh air.

Say yes to what lights you up – and no to what doesn’t.

Celebrate little wins – every step towards self-love counts.
