Why Missing Day is a part of Anti-Valentine's Week

Missing Day is a part of Anti-Valentine's Week - the 7 days of expressing different emotions that one feels after end of a relationship or a breakup. Anti-Valentine's Week is for people who are not in love currently but are on a journey to heal themselves and emerge stronger. It is also the time to work on your old wounds and prepare yourself for a new relationship after getting over the older one. Anti-Valentine's Week will wrap up on February 21 with Breakup Day. The other days were as follows - Slap Day (February 15), Kick Day (February 16), Perfume Day (February 17), Flirt Day (February 18), Confession Day (February 19), and Missing Day (February 20).

Missing someone too much? Here’s what you can do

- Dedicate a day, a timeframe, and reminisce the bittersweet memories associated with the person. Accept that the person may not be back in your life and it’s alright to think about them once in a while. If you are thinking about someone constantly, engage yourself in healthy and healing activities.

- Practice mindfulness and focus on the present moment. Enjoy the beauty of what this very moment offers you. Appreciating what you have now can help you get over the past.

- Practice Yoga and meditation to begin your healing journey. They are a powerful way to connect with self and recognise our strengths.

- Reach out to a loved one who understands you and who can provide you emotional support.
