Coaching Corner: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
By Master Coach Marilou Butcher Roth
Today is one of the most widely celebrated Hallmark holidays around, Valentines Day. In doing a bit of research, it seems the dedication to this day originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine, later evolving to a celebration of love in many regions of the world. What does this day mean to you? For some, a grand event occurs, while for others, the day goes virtually unnoticed.
Today, I am thinking about how to make every day a celebration of love, not just for those we choose to shine our love light on, but also for ourselves. It can be challenging at times to ignore this very precious relationship, focusing instead outside of our individual selves.
My plan for this year, and I welcome you to join me, is to first, find new ways to strengthen how I feel about myself, and, secondly to extend Valentines Day to the rest of the year, letting those I love know how I feel about them on a regular basis. Gifts, of course, are optional! Happy Valentines Year!!
