February: Month of Love
As we enter into the second month of 2023, we had the entire month of January to recover from the holidays, get our resolutions and planning in order, and some of you may have been extra good and participated in “Dry January” too. But now it’s time to get it back into gear and start celebrating life again and turning those resolutions into habits. With the typical resolutions being:Get in shape/lose weight/be healthier
Get organized/clean more/simplify life
Get together with friends and family more
Love myself more
Love my home/life more
Love my friends/family more
We’re deeming February the “Month of Love” which means it’s not just about the one day that is Valentine’s Day or the offshoot “Galentine’s Day.” No, it’s about sending and receiving love the entire month.
We always need more love in the world, and sometimes we forget to love ourselves too. So, for February, we encourage make a list of three things:
Something nice you’ll say to yourself every day for the entire month of February…like a mantra
Do something nice you’ll do for yourself twice a week for the month of February
Do something nice you’ll do for someone else once a week for the entire month of February
If you implement this for the entire month of February, it will be amazing to see the results at the end of the month. And, chances are, you will feel so fantastic that it will carry over into March and hopefully the rest of the year. Even if you don’t choose the above suggestions, if you choose something that adds to the love in your life, it will enhance your life exponentially. And, it doesn’t even need to be big or grand - this change you implement - it just needs to be something that might create a shift in your inner self that will not only make you happier but will create a shift in those around you. The more love you create for yourself and those around you the more love there will be in the world. It’s a domino effect.
So, with Valentine’s Day just a couple weeks away, doesn’t mean that the love has to stop there. And, if you think you don’t have a Valentine, you’re wrong, you should be your #1 Valentine and you deserve to be treated as such too. Start planning what you’re going to do for yourself for Valentine’s Day now, so you’ll be ready to receive the love…and if it involves coming in for a painting class at Pinot’s Palette in Leawood, we would LOVE to have you and the wine and painting will be ready to go!
So, for the month of February, sprinkle a little extra love everywhere you go, because what goes around comes around…and most of all, you deserve it!
Love and Cheers!
