Many people associate love with being fed, cared for, and noticed — and withdraw that care from themselves when alone. This practice restores love as an action, not a reward. On Valentine’s Day, feeding yourself with the same care you would offer someone you love heals patterns of self-abandonment. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞’𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨: We’ll eat one bite slowly, as if feeding someone dear, letting the body experience love as gentleness and presence. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Any food or drink (even one bite or sip) 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬: Softened emotional defenses. Increased self-trust. Feeling cared for from within.
