Kudos to those who loves celebrating valentine’s day, but let’s admit it the day is highly overrated. There are constant pressure and unbelievable expectations to stand up to, no matter if you are committed or single. Yes, life is about gathering happiness from wherever possible. If it is coming in the face of valentine’s day, great! But, embracing sufferings, break-ups and singlehood should also be considered. After all, it is not easy, with everyone around, especially the daily soaps and Bollywood obsessing over the idea of love and togetherness.
Nevertheless, since the idea of anti-valentine’s day, which is just around the corner, has garnered immense popularity over the years, it must be celebrated in the best way possible. No matter if you are single, recently got separated, divorced, ditched, not over your exes or searching for that special one, these quirky ideas are far most the best to mark the anti-valentine’s day.
Playing Paintball
If you are feeling low or stressed because of your break up, the upcoming anti-valentine’s day is the perfect day let it all go. How? Channelise that pain to some other place.

Since stress can deeply affect one’s mental health, playing a tough and rough game like paintball to get over frustration Is recommended. The more you play the more you will be releasing endorphins, a chemical that body produce to relieve pain and stress, further making you calm.
