9 Notable Ways to Make Yourself Feel Special on Valentine's Day
February is the month of love. If you go into most stores now, you will notice that Valentine’s day specials and decorations have been up for awhile..
When you’re single, having all these things up in your face can be stressful.
In a way, it is a constant reminder that you are not in a relationship. In some cases, it can also make you feel lonely during a time when everyone seems to be focused on love and relationships.
Firstly, just because you aren’t seeing anyone doesn't mean you:
aren't loved (There are lots of types of love beyond romantic love.)
don't deserve love and all the good things that couples do for each other

One Positive Action
Reframe a Setback:
Setbacks aren’t the enemy, your mindset about them is. The difference between people who thrive and people who stay stuck isn’t that one group avoids problems and the other doesn’t. It’s that the ones who win know how to reframe setbacks into opportunities. Because every problem carries a gift, but most people are too focused on the frustration to see it.
Think about a challenge you’re facing right now. Maybe you lost a job, got rejected, or hit a wall in some area of life. Instead of asking, Why is this happening to me? shift the question to How could this be happening for me? Maybe it’s pushing you toward something better. Maybe it’s exposing a weakness you need to strengthen. Maybe it’s forcing you to grow in ways you wouldn’t have otherwise. Grab a pen, write down three ways this could be an opportunity, then write down another 3 ways, and don’t stop until you find something real.
This isn’t just positive thinking, you’re training your mind to see possibilities instead of problems. The most successful people in the world aren’t the ones with no failures. They’re the ones who got back up, adapted, and used their setbacks as fuel.
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” - Edison
Reframing doesn’t mean ignoring reality, it means controlling your focus so you can move forward instead of staying stuck. And when you master that skill, there’s nothing life can throw at you that you can’t turn into an advantage.
