How To Enjoy Being Single

Steps :
1. Ignore the naysayers. In a couple driven consumer marketing society. You’re bound to come across people who wonder why you’re single, as if the ultimate goal in life is to pair up with another human being and cling so that ideal as if your life depends on it. They might even imply that something is wrong with you if you’re single. Brace yourself for that kind of ignore once. Remember that you don’t have to defend your being single, just like it’s rude to attack validity of someone’s relationship. Just say “I prefer being single” and change the subject or mention that statistics show that half of all people are single.
2. Focus on friendship. Being single doesn’t have to mean being lonely. When you’re single, you have more time to do a variety of things, all of which are opportunities to forge new friendship. Butterflies can grapple with loneliness too. Make it a priority in your life to create meaningful friendship and enrich your existing ones.
3. Enjoy your freedom. Everybody has radical little fantasies and the chances of pairing up with someone who shares such a fantasy with equal fervor is not something to hold your breath for. So what are you waiting for? Find some people who have the same idea, or just go for it alone, and you’ll meet like minded people along the way.
4. Appreciate the absence of compromise. Classic relationship advice dictates that compromise, sacrifice are essential to a healthy relationship. Perhaps if you’ve been in a relationship before, you realize how much stuff you had to give up in order to make that relationship work or maybe you forgot about stuff because you focused on the things you miss well, this is a good time to shift that focus.
5. Cherish the excitement. Relationship tend to come along with planning. For example, you can just accept a job across the country without touching base with your significant other. And generally, if you’re in it for the long haul. You’ll likely talk about what you’ll be doing years from now. But when you’re single, the future is completely open. Today you’re at you your desk, and a year from now you might be camping in Alaska. Right now your single, but tomorrow you might meet your soul-mate. Who knows? Fantasies be spontaneous. Be hold.
6. Being married is a “lifestyle choice” and not a “requirement”. Therefore, being single is a “lifestyle choice” and not a ”default option”. It is a possible choose to being a single. There are advantages to being married just as there are disadvantages to being married, such as loss of personal freedom having to compromise etc. Conversely, there are advantages to being single, as well as disadvantages. Whether is married or single is nothing more than a lifestyle choice.

Tips:
 Say yes to every opportunity to learn, grow and meet new people
 Be grateful for what you have. Many people don’t have what you have .
 Decide for yourself if there are aspects of your life or your personality that you would like to change and do it. You are your best evaluator. You don’t need to listen to those people who tell you that you are single because you are to “” too fat or too old to meet someone else.
 Ignore the toxic people in your life. It is easy to recognize them. Their negative words of fear and discouragement sap your energy.
 Invest in yourself. Save some money and get a professional massage. Get a manicure & pedicure… Anything that nurtures your body and lift your spirit.
 Look in your local newspaper for opportunities to join a service club or volunteer with an organization. Look in your church newsletter for church related activities if that makes you happy. Check the continuing Education Program at your local community college to if there is a class that you would like to attend.

Warnings:
 You can learn new things from anyone you could possibly meet, but be careful, choose people who teach you in a positive way rather than a negative one. Some lessons are better learned through observation rather than experience.
