5 Fun & Free Ways To Celebrate Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about chocolate and flowers. Love yourself and others freely. Watch the good vibes flow back to you!

  • Blow kisses to everybody you see in a very exuberant fashion.
  • Make eye contact with yourself in a mirror, blow yourself a kiss with both hands and repeat “I love you, love you, love you.”
  • Now dare to do this with your special someone.
  • Put your right hand in the air and say, “I.” Put your left hand in the air and say “AM.” Then put both hands in the air and say “AMAZING!” Do this several times until you feel it with conviction.
  • Have a passionate love conversation in gibberish with someone special – even your cat or dog ! Each act of giving love brings more love into your life.
