Whether you are single, taken, or it’s complicated, dating yourself will be very important for your mental health. Taking the time to prioritize yourself will do wonders for how you feel about yourself.

In today’s world social media makes it easy to be hard on ourselves. Comparing your face, your waist, even voice to all the influencers who only post their good side. But you see yourself at your best and worst.

Sometimes our worst can outweigh the best in our minds.

So what exactly is dating yourself?

Dating yourself simply means taking the time to spend quality time alone with yourself. When all else fails we are left with ourselves. Being comfortable with being in your own presence without distractions. Making sure you reconnect with the most important person in your live, yourself.

So let’s see how we do this.

Find a Hobby

One of the many ways we can date ourselves is by finding a hobby we enjoy. Whether it’s painting, playing music, or reading, a hobby can be an excellent escape from the stresses of daily life while also giving us a sense of accomplishment and joy.

Treat Yourself to a “Daycation”

A “daycation” I love this word but, it doesn’t have to be expensive or fancy. Going to lunch just grabbing coffee or just walking around the park. This will allow you some time away from the daily routine and help you clean your mind.

Pamper Yourself

Don’t forget to pamper yourself! Take a long bubble bath or a spa day; it’s an excellent way to treat yourself and recharge. If your anything like me, getting your nails done or your hair done always makes you feel better.

Write in a Journal

Writing in a journal is not only an excellent way to date yourself but a great way to declutter your mind. It allows you to reflect on your thoughts, dreams, and goals. You can pour your heart out in a safe space that is free of judgment or critique.

Travel Solo

Traveling solo can seem intimidating, but it’s one of the best ways to date yourself. Exploring new places alone can be a wonderful adventure that allows you to experience new cultures, foods, and adventures. Always remember to be safe but also extend from your comfort zone.

Learn Something New

Learning something new is always a good use of time. New skills can increase your value and self-worth. You could attend a cooking class, learn a new language, or take up photography. The possibilities are endless when it comes to learning something new and exciting.

Let’s wrap it up.
