7 Exciting Things to do on Valentine’s Day If You’re Single

This year’s Valentine’s day is extra special given the fact that the world is going through an unprecedented crisis. And it's gonna be difficult if you have to spend it alone because unlike before you can’t go out unless you take all the precautionary measures that should be followed during this time.

But that doesn't mean you should miss out on all the fun.So here are 7 exciting things to do on valentine’s day if you’re single.

1.Chill out ,relax and binge watch your favourite series

There are so many amazing shows and films you can watch on Netflix,Amazon Prime and so on.Make yourself some popcorn,slouch on your couch and binge the web series of your favourite actor/actress.

• Schitt's Creek
• The Crown
• Stranger Things
• Money Heist
• Orange is the New Black
• Sex Education
• Dark

And the list goes on. My favourite web series is Peaky Blinders and I keep watching it on repeat mode. Every time I watch it I’m so mesmerised by the settings, the character graphs, dialogue delivery and the background music.

2. Try a new recipe or even better bake something

I’m pretty sure all of us will have atleast one dish we've always wanted to try out but could not due to lack of time.Well this is the right time to do it.You don’t have anyone to impress .Just you and your tummy.

I love baking cakes.This is something which I do for myself whenever I'm stressed or simply because I want to bake one..The smell of a freshly baked cake straight out of the oven melts my heart every single time.

3. Make someone happy

Personally I don’t believe in setting aside one specific day to celebrate love.If possible,love should be enjoyed and celebrated every single day.Since this day is all about love you can utilise this opportunity to bring about a smile in someone’s life.

Send love letters to your closest friends and I bet they’ll be surprised.Or order a bouquet of flowers and gift it to someone who helped you get through unhappy times.This will definitely make someone’s day and you will feel extremely happy.

4. Pamper yourself

Self -love is something which should be practised even if you're single or not.Treat yourself to fine dining or a new haircut or a beauty treatment at a spa.You may even write a letter to your future self to be opened after five years or order some junk food.The key is to rejuvenate yourself so that you end up feeling refreshed and start looking at things with a fresh perspective.

5. Engage in activities that soothe your soul

I find walking through my garden under the huge canopy of trees with filtered sunlight on my face extremely therapeutic .It's like yoga for my soul.

Another such thing that I enjoy so much is watching calligraphy videos online. The gentle stroke of the pen against paper and the wide and narrow alphabets that flows with the smooth flow of ink calms my heart.

You may engage in other activities such as lighting scented candles, enjoying some relaxing music or taking a hot bath to wash off the weariness of your soul.

6.Start reading a new book

Once you know which is your favorite genre then you may easily pick up a book and travel to the world it takes you. You may download a book and read it online or there are applications like Audible which help you to listen to soothing narrations.

I love the adrenaline rush and the swirl of emotions within me every time I read a good book. It takes my mind off all my troubles and helps me delve into a world of creative imagination.

7. Take a break from social media and get out in nature

Social media may be a bit too much to handle particularly on Valentine’s day. It will be filled with lovey-dovey messages, love quotes and wishes for loved ones. If you're single it's best that you unplug and practice digital detox for a day.Get out in nature, take a walk through your courtyard or if you live in a small apartment plant something. Growing indoor plants will give you so much positivity. It's such an overwhelming feeling to watch a plant grow right in front of you. It relaxes your mind and gives you both hope and joy.

So these are few things you can do on Valentine’s day. You are guaranteed to feel good after doing any of these activities. As for me, I’ll be spending this day with my neighbour’s dog, Leo who is less than a month old.He snuggles close to me whenever I hold him and I'm really happy I have him as my Valentine this year.
