Love Month Challenge

February is here, can you believe it?! When February comes around there are two types of people: 1. The type that love Valentines Day, embrace the month of “love”, eat the chocolates, wear pink and red, and then there is 2. the type who hate February, all things Valentines Day, and are counting down those 28 long days until the month is over. No matter which category you fall in, or even if you’re a little in between, this challenge is for YOU!

This is the month of love, but I’m putting a little twist on it and giving you a really fun challenge. That challenge is to love others around you. Not just every so often, but all month long. This challenge has so many different ways to love those around us, even people we don’t know. It’s a great way to start out the year practicing these practical steps of showing appreciation and love to you, your friends, your spouses, your community, and so much more.

Love Month Challenge. 28 Day Challenge to Love Those Around You.

  1. This is such a great challenge. There are so many little ways to spread love and happiness that we often over look. It’s the small things that always make someone else happy and i’m a huge believer in doing those small things. I definitely will do more of these things this month!

  2. These are awesome suggestions! I love the idea of looking at the whole month of February as a time to challenge yourself to love more boldly and openly. I made and sent cards to my four siblings who live far away in honor of Valentine’s Day–it’s a good motivator to get something in the mail to send them to encourage them!

  3. Aww I genuinely love this, Courtney! I’ll follow along this list, and try to be mindful of giving love to others (and myself) this month without being too cheesy. 😉
