Hey guys! Today we've got a special holiday episode of Wellcast.

You know that this Thursday is Valentine's Day

One day that doesn't have to be a big deal at all

Uhm… unless it's your birthday like our designer

So what if you'll head off with your boyfriend?

Or let them go to that overpriced dinner at a restaurant

Step 1. Alright, don't let yourself get pressured into doing anything big.

Valentine's Day has grown into a huge consumer-driven holiday

One that you're seemingly getting pressed into celebrating

That's a selling term you could look it up,

not having to stress out about what you're gonna do on the fourteenth!

Or, on the flip side, try to stridently assert the fact that you're single

Just have fun, do something for yourself, be happy.

Step 2. Okay, as Donna says on "Parks and Rec"

All that money that you're not spending on an overprice dinner

Make a plan to do something that you've been wanting to do for a really long time

And give yourself the gift of a truly relaxing day

'cause you could spend the whole day with people who mean a lot to you

or larking with your... ah... weird friends

Or geeking out watching Community with your study buddies

Or you could go to the beach with your pals

which are probably people that you've met on Facebook

Do you..do you call.. It doesn't if you have pals hang out with them

And if you're worried about missing out on Thursday,

you could even invite a couple of friends that aren't really in to Valentine's Day.

I'm telling you to exercise on Valentine's Day. Okay?

Get some fresh air, go on a hike or a bike ride,

After all, pets are proven to make you happier.

Remember our episode on pet therapy? It's all true

Spend some time at a local soup kitchen, animal shelter,

or some other charitable organization that needs your help.

Huh? With so many people spending time together on February 14th,

chances are they're a little short-staffed.

It's a great way to give back to your community,

just a reminder, February 14th is just another day.

In fact, you don't even have to take any of the advice we gave you today.

Just be yourself, eat chocolates, surround yourself with people you like,

have a Breaking Bad marathon, do what you need to do.
