Happy Valentine’s Day from your friends at Safe Passage! We understand this day evokes different emotions for everyone, and that’s okay! Maybe the holiday brings sadness or anger as you’re reminded of a past relationship. Maybe you feel left out or ashamed because you don’t have a partner to celebrate the day with. Maybe you’re perfectly happy eating candy hearts and chocolates next to your loved one. Whatever you’re feeling today, it is okay to feel that way, but this Valentine’s Day and every day, let’s practice loving and caring for ourselves.

Self-care is critical in living a happy and healthy life. It can help us physically, emotionally and mentally by boosting our confidence, attitudes and perspectives on things life throws at us. Self-care doesn’t need to take a lot of time, or money. It doesn’t have to be as extravagant as a full blown spa day; it can be as simple as reading a book or going for a walk.    

This Valentine’s Day, take care of yourself, remind yourself of your accomplishments, and don’t be afraid to pat yourself on the back – after all, you deserve to be complimented! Give us a call, 815.756.5228, let’s talk about what you’re doing to care for yourself.
