There comes a time in everyone’s life where one gets busy and things get a little chaotic, whether it’s starting a new job, trouble with your current job, relationship problems, school is overwhelming, many other things that life can get a hold of.
During February, while everyone’s focus on Valentine’s day may be on their significant other, it can also be about the ones that hold a special place in your heart. Here are ways to show your family and friends that they are loved and special in this season of love.
Act of Kindness
While this doesn’t come in the form of what a Valentine’s gift “normally” looks like, showing your love for your family members through acts of kindness is the most meaningful gifts one can receive.
This can be done by making a special dinner for your family, preparing or take-out, your family will surely appreciate the thought and planning that went into creating the dinner.
Doing daily chores around the house for your family member without them asking, goes a long way, especially when it’s least expected. After doing this once, it will help in making it a routine for your family to help one another out around the house.
Acts of kindness can come down to even the simplest of things, this goes for friends as well.
Sending a loving/encouraging text to a friend may be just what they need to help them get through their day. Letting them know that you’re thinking of them is probably the smallest way to show someone that you care and makes them feel special.
Taking the time out of your day to choose kindness will always make this season of love a lot more enjoyable for those around you!
Gift-giving
A way to show family and friends that they are special to you is by giving gifts. It doesn’t have to be the most extravagant gifts, it can range from a gift card to a handwritten letter or even some sweet treats.
If you’re walking around a store and find a little snack or drink that reminds you of your friend or family member, buy it and bring it to them!
If you’re not a communicator in showing someone you love that they are special to you, our very own Priscilla Rodriguez says to “try surprising them with small items that will help them throughout the day or that will just make them smile”. Again, it’s the little things that can go a long way!
