Whether you’re in a wonderful relationship and expecting lots of romance, flowers and chocolates this Valentine’s Day or not, how about starting a tradition of taking time on this Hallmark holiday to love yourself? Here are a few of my favorite life coach-inspired, self-loving ideas:

• Take the whole day to practice halting negative mental chatter, rephrasing thoughts to positive ones that uplift and encourage.
• Spend a few moments in silence, being grateful for everything that is going right in your life.
• Treat yourself to your favorite treats! Instead of waiting for someone to surprise you with a spa certificate, a dozen roses or your favorite sweets, get them for yourself!
