Valentine’s Day isn’t about roses, chocolate, or candlelit dinners. It’s about celebrating love. And the most important love of all, is the love you give yourself.

I’m talking about self-care. If you don’t feel 💯, you can’t give 💯 at work or at home.

Here are a few things that help our team find the love within:

• Cooking something delicious (Richard)
• Taking a walk without headphones (Robin)
• Going to a kickboxing class (Stef)
• Re-reading a great book (Brandon)
• git stash && shutdown -r now (Matt)
• Dance-walking home to Tina Turner records (OK, this one’s mine)
• Volunteering (Velizar)

Whatever you do, relax, reflect, and accept yourself.

To quote the immortal Brian May:

“I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way. Mind you grow a little wiser, little better every day…Keep yourself alive!”
