Valentines Day for Singles

Valentines Day for lovers only? Do you feel left out because you are single and don’t have a partner? Are you lonely and yearn for the touch from a loving and caring person or kind thoughtful words to set your heart racing? If you are experiencing any of these emotions and feeling the picture is not going to change, at least perhaps not before Valentines Day, are you going to feel bad because of being without that someone special, or do you want to feel emotionally better and feel your ’self-love’, ’self-worth’, ’self-care’?

There are numerous reasons why many people are alone. From loss due to a death, divorce, or just not having ever met that Miss or Mister Right. It can be a very lonely feeling when one is in that space and especially at times like Valentines Day or other monumental times in our lives. You can complain about the unfairness of it all, remain bitter and unforgiving and not able to let go, that is a choice. Or you can change and overcome and transform those unhappy, unhealthy feelings for better ones. Forgiving someone does not condone what someone else did; it simply releases us from the pain of their actions. It all is a choice and a choice only you can make.

I was married, am now divorced and have been single for many years.  It was difficult a lot of the time, but there were several things that helped me to turn around and to feel better, and that helped to pull me up off the ground out of my darkest hours. I call them my five fixes.

My Five Fixes

1. My Blessings: One way for me to feel better was to count my many blessings. This in itself got me back on track to feeling better, as I am blessed, and I know that many people are less fortunate.  One can always find good in a circumstance. Sometimes it may be hard to see it, but if you try hard, you can see that your life is better in some way, than someone elses.
2. Gratitude: Gratitude in itself can improve your life. By simply focusing on what it is we are grateful for we can improve our lives in a big way. I have been starting and ending my day for many years, saying to myself and God, what I am grateful for. I truly believe I am even more blessed because of this.
3. Make the call:  Call someone. For me this was a tough one, the first time being the toughest. When you are able to talk with someone, it makes  your loneliness more tolerable and you feel the caring from your friend or family member you spoke with.
4. Journal: Daily writing my thoughts, my blessings, what I am grateful for, who I talked with, or how beautiful a day it was. It is very therapeutic to write. It does not have to be long, it could be just a few words, or you can write a chapter. Just be sure to write.
5. Essential oils: This is by far a very amazing, rewarding and healing part of my continual life’s journey. I tend to start my day by applying and massaging essential oil blend of Joy onto the bottoms of my feet.  This keeps my mood uplifted throughout the day.

Alright then, soon it will be Valentines Day and many of us are single, so we need to focus on what will boost our spirits, make us happy, relaxed and loved.  Sometimes it may be hard to think of what will make us happy, so I’ve put together a few suggestions of what I would do.

• Start my day by applying Rose oil to my pulse points and under my nose, so that I can smell the beautiful scent throughout the day.
• Get a massage and take your favorite essential oil of choice. (Mine would be Peace and Calming, unless I had aching muscles, then it would be Balsam Fir or PanAway)
• Go get a pedicure or manicure and once again take your favorite essential oil of choice to soak your feet and hands in. (Mine would be peppermint and lavender)
• Go out to dinner with a friend or friends and then rent some movies or go to the movies.
• Diffuse essential oil blend of Harmony to help me to feel emotionally balanced, calm and open to new possibilities and an overall feeling of well-being.

For some this may be too boring, but I am a simple gal leading a pretty calm, simplistic life, so it works for me.  My main focus and passion that keeps my life upbeat and healthy is the fact that Young Living essential oils have been in my life since 1996 and I know that my Valentines Day will be brighter, happier and filled with loving feelings because I surround my self with our quality oils. If you would like to learn more about therapeutic-grade essential oils, I would enjoy hearing from you, please contact me so that I can help you to get started with the right choice of essential oils to help you too to have a more fulfilled Valentines Day.
