For some, Valentine’s Day comes with expectation and pressure. With #CoupleGoals as a consistently trending hashtag, countless pictures of couples on social media, the obsession of celebrity break-ups and make-ups and TV shows like the Bachelor and Bachelorette serving up contrived romance sprinkled with drama, the way we think of love and romance has changed. Below are some examples of why so many people say "no way" to Valentine’s Day and some alternatives that shift this negative mindset.

You are a truly unique and powerful being. Every day, in every area of your life, you can affect positive change that will grow your existence toward true joy and sense of purpose.

I’d like to share some truly magnificent holistic healing methods that you might not be aware of that can change everything for you… right now. Any part of your life that causes you stress or unhappiness—whether it is your personal relationships, profession, finances, emotional well-being, or physical health—is within your power to change for the better.

An enabler is a person who by their actions makes it easier for an addict to continue their self-destructive behavior by criticizing or rescuing. The term codependency refers to a relationship where one or both parties enable the other to act in certain maladaptive ways. Many times, the act of the enabler satisfies a need for the codependent person because his or her actions foster a need from the other person or persons in the relationship.

To enable the individual with the addiction, the mutually dependent person makes excuses and lies for the addict, which enables the addiction to continue.

Life is built on routines. It’s easy to go years—or even decades—without consciously assessing what’s working and what’s not. As a result, many of us are surrounded by people, obligations, objects, and habits that aren’t exactly making our lives better (far from it!).

Well, no more. With a new year upon us, it’s the perfect time to take a fresh look at your daily existence—and drop all the dead weight that’s holding you back.
