Consider giving yourself a valentine by thinking about the things, activities, and experiences that fill your heart. The children in my creative journaling class discovered that their hearts are a big eclectic mix filled with things like whipped cream, fuzzy socks, lemonade, trees, popcorn, the ocean, painting, Harry Potter, bike riding, and pie. I made the below heart based on a blend of some of my student's suggestions.

Just contemplating what makes you happy is a gift to yourself. A little self-affirmation goes a long way.
