CELEBRATE YOURSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY

-

 


Valentine’s Day just passed, and while some were basking in romance, others felt a deep sense of loneliness. It happens every year, not just on Valentine’s but on other labeled celebrations too. Christmas can feel isolating for those without family, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can be painful reminders of loss or absence, and birthdays don’t always bring joy to everyone. Society sets these dates to celebrate love, family, and togetherness, but what happens when you don’t have someone to celebrate with?

Here’s what I realized: the rest of the year is for celebrating YOU. And that’s something you can do every single day.

1. Happiness Shouldn’t Be Calendar-Based

Why wait for one day in the year to feel special? A single date on the calendar does not define your worth, your love, or your joy. Instead of tying your happiness to external celebrations, make every day meaningful by doing something that makes you feel good, whether it’s treating yourself to a nice meal, learning something new, or simply appreciating who you are in this moment.

2. You Are Your Own Constant

People come and go. Relationships change. But one thing remains: you are always with yourself. That’s why it’s important to develop a relationship with yourself that’s built on love and appreciation. Celebrate the small wins. Acknowledge your growth. Speak to yourself with kindness. When you become your own source of love, external celebrations won’t dictate your joy.

3. Define What Celebration Means to You

Not all celebrations require grand gestures or social gatherings. Sometimes, the best celebrations are quiet and personal. Maybe it’s a solo coffee date, a long walk listening to your favorite music, or writing down things you’re grateful for. The key is to celebrate in a way that aligns with what makes YOU happy, not what society dictates.

4. Love Comes in Many Forms

Romantic love isn’t the only kind of love worth celebrating. There’s self-love, friendship, passion for your craft, and even the love of simple, everyday moments. Instead of feeling down about what’s missing, shift your focus to what’s already there. The warmth of the sun on your face, a pet’s unconditional love, the ability to chase your dreams, these are all forms of love, and they deserve to be celebrated.

5. Make Everyday Moments Special

Who says celebrations need an occasion? Wear your favorite outfit on a random Tuesday. Buy yourself flowers just because. Start new traditions that make ordinary days extraordinary. When you choose to celebrate yourself daily, life becomes less about waiting for special moments and more about creating them.

Final Thought

Marked celebrations will come and go, and some may feel heavier than others. But every other day of the year? That’s yours. That’s your time to celebrate yourself, not because a calendar says so, but because you deserve it.

So, how will you celebrate YOU today?

HOW TO CHOOSE A CANDIDATE FOR ELECTIONS LIKE A MENTALIST

-

  Elections in the Philippines are more than just a political event; they’re an emotional spectacle. From grand rallies to heated debates, candidates pull every trick in the book to win votes. But as a mentalist, I see past the showmanship. I analyze behaviors, speech patterns, and psychological tactics to determine a candidate’s true intent. And you can do the same. Here’s how you can apply a mentalist’s mindset when choosing the right leader. 1.  Look Beyond the Words Politicians are masters of persuasion, using rehearsed lines and emotional appeals to win hearts. Instead of focusing on their words alone, watch their body language. Are their gestures aligned with their statements? Do they maintain eye contact, or do they look away when answering tough questions? A genuine candidate exudes confidence without overcompensating. 2.  Analyze Their Track Record A mentalist doesn’t just rely on what people say; we look at patterns. A candidate’s history speaks louder than thei...

BEING ORIGINAL

  Finding Inspiration Without Losing Yourself We all have people we look up to; whether they’re leaders in our field, creatives we admire, or mentors who guide us. Their work, ideas, and success stories push us to improve. But there’s a fine line between inspiration and imitation. How do you take what inspires you and make it your own? 1. Absorb, Don’t Copy There’s a reason you admire certain people. Maybe it’s their work ethic, creativity, or approach to challenges. Instead of copying what they do, analyze why it works. What elements resonate with you? What skills do they have that you can develop in your own way? Tip:  Keep a journal of things that inspire you, but always ask, "How can I adapt this to fit my unique voice and perspective?" 2. Mix Influences Like a Chef Think of creativity like cooking. The best dishes aren’t made by copying one recipe; they’re a fusion of different flavors, techniques, and ingredients. The same goes for inspiration. Learn from multiple sourc...
