It's February, the month of romance. Numerous studies have shown romantic gestures, trips, gifts, and words can all be good for your health. They help connect you with your partner, give a sense of belonging, and release healthy endorphins into your bloodstream.
Send an uplifting text to someone you love.
Better yet, leave them a handwritten note.
Make a homemade gift. If you're crafty, that could be a card. If you're a wonderful cook or baker, something you whip up in the kitchen will show you care.
Giving your time to someone who needs help is priceless. Perhaps an elderly neighbor needs their dog walked or their walkway shoveled. Or a friend may need you to pick up their kid. Or you might be able help your sister organize her pantry.
Carefully listening to your loved ones is perhaps the most romantic of all gestures.
Embrace the season. Find a way to show you care!
