February is the month of pancakes, ski holidays and… lovers. Far be it from us to worship Valentine's Day, but admit that there are worse things in life than celebrating love. Love of oneself, of others, of life, for real, that's our program for February (and not just the 14th!). Sounds good to you?
Self love
"To love yourself is the beginning of a lifelong love affair" said Oscar Wilde. We would be wrong to deprive ourselves of it! Despite this, many of us try to appear to be something we are not, to try to blend into the mold to the point of ending up forgetting ourselves. And the media or social networks do not always help us... So in February, we choose to love ourselves for real and whole, with our imperfections, our neuroses and our qualities!
I love, you love, they love each other
We could have also written “love each other” but that would have been too much . Admit that there are times when you want to throw everything away: the perfect moms on Instagram, that friend who has everything going for her or your other half with unwavering patience. What if the key was to only take the positive, everywhere? To love others for who they are, rather than hating them for what they send back to us? So in February, we put on our Care Bear costume rather than that of a misanthrope. With a bit of luck, you’ll love him, too.
Say yes to life
Are you more of the type to see life through rose-tinted glasses or in a gloomy light? Of course, it's not easy every day, especially those when you feel the lack of sleep, those that go by without a single ray of sunshine, those when nothing goes as planned... And yet, isn't it thrilling to get up in the morning without knowing exactly what the day has in store for you? Living life to the fullest is still the best way to ride the wave of love, true love. So in February, we learn to love our daily lives, for real.
Unconditional love
The cherry on the cake, the one for which we don't even have to make an effort because it seems so natural to us. Parents know that when we welcome a child into our lives, we discover a new form of love. The one with a capital A, which sweeps everything in its path, without conditions. The sleepless nights, the crying fits or the teenage crisis, we forgive it all! Because with him we discover what it means to truly love. And the least we can say is that we quickly become addicted!
So, are you ready for the February wave of love?
