February is often painted in pinks and reds — hearts in every window, flowers at every corner, and reminders everywhere to say “I love you.” But love in February isn’t just about romantic dinners or chocolate boxes. It’s about connection, compassion, and care — for others and for ourselves. When we share that we care about your whole life, we mean it! As a Transformational Change Management Coach, I see every day how emotional wellness, mindset, and nervous system health shape not only individual lives, but entire communities and even schools.

This is the month of Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, and something equally powerful but often overlooked: self-love. Have you heard of PS I LOVE YOU Day? It’s a reminder that before we pour into others, we must also tend to our own hearts — emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Because here’s the truth:

💗 Heart health and mental health are deeply connected.

🧠 When stress is high, the heart feels it.

❤️ When the heart is overwhelmed, the mind follows.

That’s why February is the perfect time to pause and ask yourself two essential questions:

When was the last time you checked your heart?

When was the last time you checked your mindset?

Love Looks Different for Everyone — And That’s the Point

Valentine’s Day celebrates romantic love.

Galentine’s Day honors friendships, chosen family, and community.

PS I LOVE YOU Day celebrates and exposes Affirmative Self-love practices, the ones only found in the mirror when no one is around. It asks us to slow down, set boundaries, and extend grace inward.

All of it matters.

Love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a practice. It shows up in how we speak to ourselves, how we manage stress, how we reset after hard days, and how we create safe spaces for others to do the same.

PS I Love You Day: A Reminder That Words Matter

The second Friday in February is PS I Love You Day — a powerful movement centered on mental health awareness, kindness, connection, and suicide prevention. It encourages people to lead with empathy, check in on one another, and create environments where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.

It’s about more than saying “I love you.”

It’s about showing it — through support, through presence, through action. And it is about learning the language of self-love or self-loyatly practices. THIS IS THE FOUNDATION of our organizations. We are rooted in Structure, Integrity, Purpose and Spirituality – and learning how to put ourselves first, maybe for the very first time in our lives.

When You Think “Green Spa New York”… You Think Couples Massage — And You’re Not Wrong

Let’s be honest. When people hear Green Spa New York, one of the first things that comes to mind is couples massage. And we love that — because it is one of our specialties.

Couples massage is about connection.

It’s about slowing down together.

It’s about choosing presence in a city that never stops. It’s about celebrating a healthy ritual together because dining out is nice to do, but this is special.

For many, it’s a moment to reconnect, breathe, and say “we matter.” And that kind of love will always have a place at The Green Spa.

But here’s what many people don’t realize:

The Green Spa provides much more love than that — and we’re spreading it far beyond the treatment room.

Love, Scaled Across the City

We’ve expanded the meaning of love into city, government, school, and corporate partnerships rooted in wellness, care, and what I call “delivered love” — intentional, structured, supportive wellness in action.

Love that looks like:

• Stress relief for educators and frontline workers

• Mindset support for leadership teams

• Emotional regulation tools for students

• Accessible wellness for families and communities

This is love that shows up where it’s needed most – At work and at home.

At Green Spa New York, in partnership with Transformational Gangstas Coaching, we bring mind and body together to support communities collectively — through hands-on services, digital wellness tools, and mindset coaching.

Our offerings include:

• Positive affirmations that shift self-talk

• Weekly reset meditations to help release stress

• Guided mindset practices accessible from anywhere

• Nervous system regulation tools that fit into real life — not just spa days

Because self-love and kindness at work and at school shouldn’t be a luxury.

It should be accessible, intentional, and consistent.

Checking Your Heart Means Checking Your Mind

We often talk about heart health in physical terms — blood pressure, exercise, nutrition. But emotional stress and burnout directly impact cardiovascular health.

Mental health and physical health are inseparable. When the mind is overwhelmed, the body carries the weight.

February becomes an invitation to: Pause, Breathe, Reset and Reconnect with yourself

Checking your heart also means checking your mindset — and giving yourself permission to receive support. Most importantly- REACH OUT FOR HELP WHEN NEEDED, MATTERS OF THE MIND, THE HEART AND THE BODY ALL MATTER.

February Is the Invitation — Love Is the Action

This month is more than a season of hearts and flowers. It’s a reminder that love is care. Love is presence. Love is creating spaces where people can breathe again.

💗 Check your heart.

🧠 Check your mindset.

💌 Say PS I love you — and show it.

If this message speaks to you, I invite you to share it — with a friend, a colleague, a school leader, a community organization, or a family member who could benefit from more support, wellness, and connection.

If you are part of a school, community, organization, or institution that could benefit from mind-body wellness, mindset coaching, and nervous system regulation support, I would love to connect.

I invite you to schedule a private discovery call with me, Sheila Brody — founder of Green Spa New York and Transformational Gangstas — to explore how we can support your community through intentional, structured, and accessible wellness solutions.

Because real change happens when we care for the heart and the mind together. As a Change Management Coach, I believe that transformation doesn’t start with systems — it starts with people.

Your Heart. Your Mind. Your Community.
