How to Embrace Being Single and Alone

Being single can be emotionally fulfilling sometimes, but it can also feel lonely at times. These past few years have likely magnified any feelings of loneliness and intensified those emotions for people worldwide, especially if you work from home.

Maintaining a positive attitude while being single and alone can be difficult during these times. However, the good news is that there are ways to find peace even in these circumstances. Below, you will find some helpful tips on how to cultivate inner peace and find a sense of balance when single.

1. Discover Yourself

Being single is the best time to rediscover who you are. Focus on your strengths, passions, and goals in life. Devote time to yourself to engage in things that make you happy and bring you inner peace. 

Treat yourself to activities that inspire personal growth, such as reading a new book, attending a yoga class, or taking up a personal growth workshop with like-minded singles. By consistently indulging in these activities, you’ll find that you become a more content and mindful person.

2. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

Stepping out of your comfort zone can bring a great deal of growth and fulfillment. Look up charities and causes you believe in and attend their social events, galas, and gatherings. Connect with people that are unlike anything you usually experience. Make an effort to meet new people, make new friends, and build new relationships. 

Remember that practicing new social skills can be uncomfortable, so be patient with yourself. Try new things and be open to experiencing life in new ways. By doing so, you may just find yourself creating a supportive, like-minded community. 

3. Take Time to Do your Shadow Work

It’s important to take time to do your shadow work. Whether you’re fresh out of a relationship or not, it’s essential to address your inner demons head-on. Our shadow can be the reason why we’re struggling in relationships or why we don’t attract the healthy kind.

4. Avoid Comparing Yourself to Others

One of the main sources of anxiety for singles is comparing themselves to others, especially when it comes to their relationship status. Comparing yourself to others does nothing but rob you of your joy, peace, and happiness. 

Instead of viewing your singleness as a curse, try reframing it as an opportunity to grow, live your life according to your own terms, and to figure out what you want in life. Buy yourself flowers, treat yourself to a spa day, or take yourself out for a picnic. Give yourself a social media detox. Rather than comparing yourself to others, focus on loving yourself and prioritizing your own needs.

5. Practice Gratitude and Compliment Yourself

The practice of gratitude is essential in finding peace and contentment. Instead of focusing on the lack of a romantic relationship, count your blessings, and be thankful for what you already have. 

Create a gratitude journal and write down three things you are thankful for every day. Say these statements out loud and in front of the mirror each day for more than 90 day days. This will help to shift your focus away from the negatives and towards the positives in your life.

Use this time to rediscover yourself, explore new experiences and relationships, heal from the past, and embrace the love in your life. Life is so much richer when you take the time to find peace and contentment within yourself. 

So take this moment, breathe, and let life guide you to your happiness. If you need support in finding yourself again, schedule a Free Relationship Readiness Review with me here.
