Wednesday, February 14th – Valentine’s Day! Since this is the big day, and most likely the reason we view February as “Love Month”, chances are you plan on telling a loved one or significant other how much they mean to you at some point today. For today’s Love and Kindness Challenge item: make it a point to do the same for a relative that you might not usually correspond with on Valentine’s Day. If you see that relative or loved one in person today, give them a long, awkward hug. The endorphins released for both the hugger and the huggie, make this a mutually-beneficial act of love and kindness. But that’s the whole purpose of the Love Week focus: turning these daily actions into ongoing routines, whereby everyone can feel the love of how much greater is to give than receive.
When you’re embracing the person, make sure you tell them how much you love them too!
