Are you having trouble coming up for ideas for Valentine's Day or you just don't feel like mustering up the energy to celebrate? Create love resolutions to amp up your romance by the middle of February. You'll combine the freshness of the new year with the romance of Valentine's Day to create a whole new outlook on your love life with your significant other. As a bonus, you and your partner will feel sexier as a result of achieving lasting love resolutions.

Take five to focus on your appearance where the goal is to project confidence through looking good for yourself and your honey. Brush your hair or define your lashes by adding mascara. Picking even one area to bring out your outer and inner beauty will send a message, even at a subconscious level, that you are taking care to look good. Carving out the time for primping leads to you feeling sexier every day.

Take another five and spend it giving your honey a hug and a kiss after he or she arrives home from work. Spending a few minutes on physical contact helps you realize your goal of getting closer and cementing a bond. Bonus: leave her alone for a few minutes after your initial hug and kiss to give her some time to decompress after a long day. You will benefit from this because work stress will stay where it needs to: at the door.

Set the timer for 10 minutes and write down or think about all the negative parts of your relationship. Tear up the physical or mental clutter and put it in the trash. You release the negativity in your relationship by acknowledging it. The last thing you and your partner need is a buildup of resentment toward each other which leads to unhappiness and stress on down the line.
