Valentine’s Day crafts are perfect for celebrating self love and honoring the relationships in your life.
Even though Valentine’s Day gives off the stereotype it’s only for couples, the meaning behind this beautiful holiday is so much more for than that.
So in honor of this special holiday, I’ve gathered my top favorite Valentine’s Day crafts from several different talented creatives- each adding their own unique twist to the project!
What does self love mean?
Self love means treating yourself how you would treat your closest relationship.
Your friends, family, ( even your pets!!) whoever you hold closest to your heart.
For example, imagine someone you love is ill. You don’t leave their side for one second. You’re there cooking nourishing meals, making sure they take their meds, & hydrating properly.
Or how about when someone you love is going through a difficult time? You’re there for them to lean on for support, advice, & a compassionate listener.
But would you treat yourself with the same compassion, kindness, & attention?
How do you develop self love?
A few simple ways to develop self love, are:
- Cultivating a self care ritual
- Consistent wake & sleep schedules
- Keeping a tidy, clean space
- Do something that brings you joy
- Give yourself breaks
- Reflect on your accomplishments ( & write them down!)
- Wear clothes that make you feel confident
- Study things you’re curious about
- Build something with your hands
