Feeling sad or feeling lonely on Valentine's Day is totally normal.
The best thing to do, for a lot of people, is to give yourself some self-care.
Remember the first step on being ready for a healthy loving relationship is loving yourself.
Set aside time to fix or order in your favorite dinner, set the mood, if you enjoy candlelight — have candlelight. If you like to dress up or dress down, do that. Have a incredible bubble bath if you want. Plan a fantastic day or evening to totally pamper yourself just like you would pamper the 'love of your life'.
"No matter how little joy you may feel right now, try to do something that spreads joy, either for yourself or for others," Marni Amsellem, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist, tells Bustle. "...Mantras can be so useful when coping with stress that seems extreme. Whether your mantra focuses on hope, acceptance, or another positive feeling, don't underestimate the power of words that we tell ourselves." If mantras aren't your thing, read a book that makes you feel good or try some yoga. There are plenty of ways to break out of a negative head space.
