Life isn’t always hearts and flowers, but chin up, although you may be spending this Valentines Day as a single, there is no reason to cry. Here are my four top tips for surviving Valentines Day after a breakup.
1. Have a party with single friends. Great party ideas include a pot luck (after all it is the busiest night of the year to dine out), game night, movie night, or a wine tasting are all great ways to spend the evening with friends.
2. Volunteer at a favorite charity or visit a nursing home. Nothing fills the heart quite like giving back.
3. Karaoke night. “I Will Survive,” anyone?
4. Spread the love with cards for five people that are awesome in your life. Be direct and simple. “I love you because you are true, blue and make the best tiramisu.” Give them by hand or mail them. Making someone smile always makes me feel happier.
The key to the best Valentines day after a break up is to stay busy and share your love with others.
