5 Activities to Help You Love Your Single Life

If you believe the many rom-coms filmed throughout the years, singles are sad,
miserable, and lonely people who sit around waiting for someone to come along
and “complete them.” Why has this myth been perpetuated to such gargantuan
proportions?

Did you know that studies have found that single people usually have more active
lives than married people? Single people are far more likely to go out, be
involved in their communities and have more friends.

Sure, it can be terrific to spend your time with a loving partner, and yes, a frequent
and satisfying sex life ain’t bad either. But life doesn’t stop just because
you’re single. You still exist and the world keeps spinning, so you might as
well enjoy your life while waiting for the “right one to come along.”

If you’re new to the single life, fear not, you’re about to have the time of your
life! Here are some ways you can love your single life.

Travel

Traveling is a great way to help you gain perspective and learn about yourself. If you’ve never traveled alone, it can be very rewarding. Plus, you don’t have to always compromise with another person. You can go where you want to go when you want to go. There is an incredible sense of freedom.

If you’re a single woman, traveling alone can be intimidating and feel a bit
unsafe. There are plenty of traveling groups for women that allow you to be
with others some of the time for safety, but also have time by yourself.

Focus on Advancing Your
Career

You have more ‘you time’ right now, which makes it the perfect time to go back to
school and get that degree that will help you advance your career. Many
colleges and universities offer online curriculums to help working adults earn
their degree. Night classes may also be a possibility and a chance for you to
meet like-minded people on the same path as you.

Volunteer

Did you know studies have found that volunteering is good for our health and
happiness? Helping others and ourselves at the same time, that’s a definite
win/win. Plus, when you spend time in your community, you are able to meet
people from all walks of life and expand your social connections.

Workout

Spend some ‘you time’ getting in the best shape of your life. Try a boxing class or
yoga, or maybe take a dance class where you can get a great workout but also
meet someone you might like to get to know better.

Reconnect

When we’re in relationships we often spend all our
time with our significant other and relationships with friends and family take
a back seat. Now is the time to reconnect with loved ones.

Living single is nothing to fear or reject. The single life can be one filled with
friends, fun and plenty of fulfillment, so enjoy every second!
