Taking Back Valentine’s Day | 6 Questions To Find A Life You Love

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that for many, Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year. But have you ever wondered why it’s a day dedicated exclusively to expressing our love for others instead of putting ourselves first? Don’t get us wrong: at Z Family Law, we’re big on showing loved ones we care through affectionate, selfless gestures. We just think on this day of all days, there’s plenty of love to go around — and you deserve to have some to yourself. One of the best gifts to give from and to yourself this Valentine’s Day (besides chocolate)? A moment to take a step back and take stock of your life. Now, we know that looking in the mirror to assess where you are, where you want to be, and what (or who) is standing in your way might seem intimidating, but it’s the key to living a rich, fulfilling life on your terms.

So, whether you’re celebrating Singles Awareness Day, contemplating divorce, or somewhere in between, we’ve got news: it’s time to fall in love with your life all over again. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to help. Keep reading for some questions to ask yourself this Valentine’s Day — they might just give you the answer you need to find a new beginning you love with your whole heart.

#1 What brings you joy and/or contentment?

From escaping into nature to catching up with friends, anything that brings you joy is not only worth doing, but worth prioritizing. No questions asked.

#2 What do you want more of in your life?

If something’s missing, now’s the time to make a conscious choice to fill that void. And while you’re at it, consider this: are you dealing with a minor, surface-level crack, or a deep hole in the foundation of your life that will require a major marital overhaul to fix?

#3 What goals do you want to accomplish that you have been putting off?

It’s been said that procrastination is the thief of time. Of course, it’s never really that simple, but when life gets hard, focusing on aspirations becomes that much harder, no matter how important they may be. The trick, of course, is to identify the root cause of your goal-shelving and treat it at the source.

#4 What (or who) in your life is dragging you down?

There’s nothing worse than a situation, job, or person that drains your energy and wastes your valuable time. The good news: there’s a solution to many of the problems you might be facing — including consulting with an attorney when it becomes clear that your marriage is to blame.

#5 Where are your biggest sources of stress?

Stress is an inevitable part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have no say in how you deal with it — or even which headaches you choose to take on in the first place, for that matter. Pinpointing your biggest sources of stress can empower you to take better control of your cortisol levels and lighten your load.

#6 What have you achieved recently that you’re most proud of?

You deserve to take some time to recognize your accomplishments and take stock of your achievements not only so you can celebrate them, but also so you can map out your path to future successes!
