the single life

Say yes to every opportunity to learn, grow and meet new people.
Be grateful for what you have. After the grieving period, focus on what you do have for example, good health and a good support system of family and friends.
Don’t be afraid to invest yourself in deep relationships with other people. You don’t have to be dating somebody to have a intimate and fulfilling relationship with them. Don’t be afraid to open up and be vulnerable sometimes.
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 too “picky”, 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.
Think about all the things you can do because you are now single. You could take off and go travelling without discussing it with somebody else. You can watch TV all day without being called lazy. You don’t actually have to do these things but, sometimes, just the knowledge that you could is enough to make you feel great.
Invest in yourself. Save some money and get a professional massage. Get a manicure and pedicure …. anything that nurtures your body and lifts your spirit.
At times small things can tend to pull you way down. Try to see the beer mug half full instead of half empty, in other words try to see the brighter side of things.
