February – Valentine’s Day month – can be a daunting time for many, especially single people who are longing for love. Most think it's a reminder that they aren't fit to love or be loved, but in actuality, sour feelings about Valentine's Day only highlight the reality that you just want to be in a loving relationship. Relationships are a reflection of the love we have for ourselves, so like all Februarys, we're going to focus on radically loving ourselves instead of sulking about not getting sugary treats and overpriced dinners.

This February, we’re going to be posting one way we loved ourselves each day using #TodayILovedMe on Instagram. You can either post in your Instagram Stories or as actual Instagram posts.

Guidelines:

• Post one way that you loved yourself that day by posting a photo or video and tagging #TodayILovedMe + @melaniesantos.co

• Does not have to be “fun” or “relaxing.” Forgiving someone, speaking up for yourself, or simply living your truth are some of the best forms of self-love there are

• The more vulnerable, the better. Vulnerability is bravery, and bravery breaks down walls to let your light be seen

I will be posting some of my favorite #TodayILovedMe posts on my Instagram Stories the morning after, so let’s get to sharing our real love on the internet that it drowning with pink and red crap all month long. I’m so excited to see how we blossom this year.
