Intentional Valentine 

Why wait for Valentine’s Day to spread love? Let’s make love a daily practice—to ourselves, our loved ones, and yes, even to those we might find it hardest to love. I truly believe we should celebrate love every single day, so this LOVE MONTH, let’s kickstart a love challenge that will carry us throughout the year and beyond. My hope is that by embracing this challenge, we’ll create a ripple effect of love that may just turn into a tsunami of positive energy!

Here’s your 3-part challenge to carry with you daily:

PART ONE: Love Up on Yourself!

It’s time to turn that mirror into a love fest. Look at yourself with the same unconditional warmth that you reserve for your pets or little ones. Smile at yourself, and say the things you most need to hear. Maybe even write yourself a love note or journal about what you’re grateful for within yourself.

Here’s a beautiful ritual to try: wash your face, and while gently massaging oil into your skin, take a moment to communicate self-love directly into your cells. Research shows that positive affirmations, gratitude, and self-touch can deeply impact your body on a cellular level. Turns out, “we are what we think” isn’t just a woo-woo saying—it’s backed by science! Make this a daily ritual and start your day with love in your heart. Watch how the world around you softens as your own energy shifts.

Be Love Organic Products to Enhance This Practice: Dandelion + Calendula Skin Oil and Calendula Body Lotion both offer nurturing oils that are perfect for this self-care ritual, leaving your skin glowing while you nourish your soul.

PART TWO: Spread the Love

Now, let’s spread that love to someone you adore—whether it’s a friend, family member, or partner. Think of all the reasons you love them. Send them a smile of gratitude, even if they’re far away. Hold them in your heart and breathe in that deep love you feel for them.

If you’re feeling extra, send them a love note, shower them with compliments, or offer a spontaneous smile or hug. This simple act of unconditional love can do wonders—trust me, you’ll notice a shift in them over time. Don’t worry if they seem confused at first; you’ll likely see their energy soften in a few days or weeks. This practice will create a ripple of love in your home, community, or beyond. Who’s ready for a love revolution?

PART THREE: Love the One You Don’t

Alright, here comes the real challenge: sending love to someone you find difficult. This person might trigger you, anger you, or even just annoy you—maybe it’s a family member, a stranger, or someone who cut you off in traffic (hello, road rage). Take a deep breath and accept the challenge: open your heart and send them love, forgiveness, or compassion.

Remember, everyone has a story, and everyone deserves love, even those who push our buttons. This practice isn’t about them hearing you or changing them; it’s about magnifying love into your own life. When you send love, it comes back to you. Love heals, softens, and opens your heart. You may not see the immediate results, but over time, this will shift your perspective and help create more love in your life.

Yes, this might sound cliché, but I truly believe that life gives us what we ask for. When we move through life on the defensive, expecting disappointment, that’s exactly what we attract. But when we shift to an open-hearted, trust-filled mindset, life has a way of surprising us with abundance in love, health, and wealth. I know this from personal experience. When I stopped living with unrealistic expectations and focused on pure gratitude, everything started to open up for me. This high-vibe shift is contagious and draws in the love and abundance we deserve.

So, let’s make this February a month where love goes above and beyond —let’s make it a lifelong practice!

 

Ready to start? You’ve got this. ❤️
