Relationships can be very beautiful and enviably admirable but that is not a guarantee for happiness, it is important to know and accept that being single is not a disease and there is no rule set in stone that says otherwise. It is the time you have to live your life without any form of orderly rules or interference from anyone. In the world we are in, many think that being single and happy is a farce.

Here are ways to believe such thoughts: 

  • Appreciate your own company: You have to first acknowledge your company and the many things you can do with your time then appreciate the fact that you can do them by yourself and ‘with yourself’.

  • Be adventurous: It is good and healthy to take risks and have new experiences as a single man or woman. Have a girls trip or a guy’s trip, go skydiving, explore the world and beyond. Just take the time to discover new things.

  • Love yourself: This is highly important, you have to truly love yourself to the point that every other person’s love will be a bonus, not a priority.

  • Meet New People: Give room for new relationships, be open to sharing your time and ideas with new friends everywhere you go. To achieve this, you have to take the first step which is stepping out of your comfort zone. 

  • Read more: Indulge in reading, get new books; romance, thriller, psychological, inspirational etc.

  • Find new hobbies: Find a new interest that you can invest your time into, you can write a book or even produce a movie.

  • Be optimistic: It is important to have a positive look at things in life, being single is not a death sentence your heart might be broken now it does not mean that it will again. Every decision you make must be made with an optimistic mind; be open to new beginnings.

  • Take up therapy: It could be a spa therapy, health therapy or retail therapy. Just make sure your body, soul and mind are extremely pampered.

  • Allow yourself feel: Just because your heart was broken does not mean you should block your heart from feeling again, it hurts but at the end of the day your sanity is highly important.

  • Pursue your goals This is a time to face and pursue your goals head-on. If you do not have any, make one or two or maybe three and pursue them.
