If you’ve been depressed lately about how the world’s been looking, then there’s a day made just for you to feel better. It’s called Global Love Day! It’s a day about giving love to yourself and spreading love out into the world. Want to know what this day is all about? Curious about who started this awesome, love-filled day? Read more below and find out about how Global Love Day got started and what you can do to take part in it! 

How to Celebrate Global Love Day

The Love Foundation offers many ways for you to express love! Check out a few of these to get started with:

Focus on Love

One suggestion for commemorating this day is to just simply be love and let that be the focus of your awareness throughout the day.

Share Some Love

The glorious thing about showing love and affection is that everyone has their way of doing so. Some people might prefer lavish and public displays of affection, just like you’d see in a cheesy ’80s movie. They believe that their love is so enormous that it is impossible to contain, and the only way to show it off is to release it loud and proud for all to see!

Conversely, others might choose more modest, private avenues to show their love. Whether it’s writing a poem, something that could be part of the Art, Essay, and Poetry Invitational held alongside Global Love Day, or simply cooking a delicious meal for your loved one; there are always ways to show that you care. 

Host a Global Love Day Party

Another way to celebrate is to host a gathering and connect with your community. You can host a party with your friends, volunteer for an hour at an orphanage, visit a retirement center, or donate items to a local shelter. 

These ideas are crucial to continuing the traditions that Global Love Day has fostered, nurtured, and released into the world around them. No matter how you choose to celebrate Global Love Day, you can spread some of this yourself.

Attend Global Love Day Events

Join in with community events, help out those less fortunate, donate your time to making the world a better place. No matter where you go in the world, there is always someone who could do with a little bit of love to brighten your day. 

Practice Self Care

Of course, pouring too much from your own cup may not be beneficial for you, so if you feel the need to, don’t be afraid to indulge in some proper self-care however you best see fit. Some will crack a bottle of wine and watch a soppy movie, others will go for a run, and some will spend all night playing video games. The fantastic thing is that there is no wrong answer.

So, if you feel like you’re ready for love, make sure to get involved with Global Love Day and share your affection for everyone, including yourself, with the rest of the world around you.
