To me, Valentine’s Day is best when we truly take care of ourselves and practice guilt-free self-love. The kind of thing we should be doing year round but often wait until now, when a spark of inspiration or wisdom hits us. You know, that glimmer of, “I’m driving myself into the ground, not eating well or getting enough rest, I need to do something about it NOW.” But the truth is, we all need to get in the habit of practicing better, deeper self-care EVERYDAY, not just when we hit rock bottom.

And as I know you already know, self-care is the perfect elixir to help us achieve optimal health — it’s boosts our immune system, rejuvenates our spirit and helps us manage our stress more effectively.

What’s your favorite self-care activity to stay healthy? Personally, I’m a big fan of getting my feet massaged – it just feels so good. And when it’s a reflexology treatment, it’s even better! Check out this video I shot last week at the Biggest PJ Party in CT.

So the question is, what simple thing can you do to love yourself up today and every day?  What’s inspiring for you and what specifically will you do?
