Valentine's Day is Coming

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Well it's in the air now -- Valentine's Day -- an if you're single you might be feeling a little of pain, or maybe a little relief. If you just got out of a bad relationship, you might find it nice to be alone and enjoy some of the things you couldn't when in that relationship. If you're "lonely too long" or just got dumped, it can be painful.

Remember that you have options about how you feel.

You also have options about exposing yourself to what makes you feel bad.

I went for my annual checkup the other day, with a doctor I've known for years. He started right in telling me how bad the news was on the TV and how much it upset him. I had to wonder, "Then why do you watch it." I go for long periods without exposing myself to the news, catching up with friends, or a quick look on the Internet. It keeps me in a cheerier frame of mind being on a "need to know" basis.

Now you can do the same with Valentine's Day. If the thought makes you upset, distract yourself. When something comes up that reminds you of Valentine's Day -- on the Internet, TV, or in your car, focus your mind on something else.

Dwelling doesn't do any good. In fact it does harm. You never know what tomorrow will bring, so enjoy the moment and hope for the best.

So you can choose to cancel Valentine's Day, or you can choose to celebrate it in a loving way yourself. This could be with a relative, friend, alone or with kids.

Enjoy that there's no pressure to produce or participate in a romantic Valentine's Day. Very few people pull one off, after the blush of courting romance, so think about that. Take yourself out for a romantic dinner -- whatever you like best -- alone, or with a friend or friends, and you can be assured that about half the "couples" you see probably aren't having a good a time as you are!

The main thing is, grab the moment, manage the emotions, and enjoy you in the present.
