Sadness is a somewhat common feeling when Valentine’s Day rolls around, which can ruin the purpose of the holiday. Regardless of one’s relationship status, NMU Wellbeing believes it is important to take extra care of yourself this week. In light of this, the group plans to host Love Yourself Day on Thursday, Feb. 15.
Starting at 4:30 p.m. in the Lodge of the Woods dorms, the event will begin with holistic self-care. Trivia and other activities hosted by Counseling and Consultation Services will follow, with Zumba led by Mark Shevy rounding out the evening.
“Valentine’s Day can be a bummer, with or without a partner,” Stebbins said. “We want to separate our feelings of worth from a holiday or from needing validation from external reinforcement. You are worthy of love with or without a valentine.”
