Not too long ago, I did a post on "not settling" and in order not to settle for someone less than you deserve, you might need to stay single for a while. The idea might seem terrifying because there are happy couples everywhere and you really don't want to be alone. Everyone deserves a special someone and would someday get one...but meanwhile, be a "HAPPY SINGLE"!
The single life is often viewed as negative, but in reality, living single symbolizes freedom, independence and untapped potential for growth.
The most obvious stigma attached to the single life is that one ominous word: ‘alone.’ Single shouldn't necessarily mean "lonely" Singles do most things alone, but you don’t have to feel lonely in the process. You just have to learn how to take what you have and use it to make a happy, successful life on your own, before you get to meet the one who is really meant for you.
Single is not a status. It is a word that describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others.”
The reality is that you are your own person, and if you can’t enjoy being single, how can you enjoy being with someone else?
These are simple truths about being single;
1. Being single gives you time to be by yourself, with yourself.
This is the time to reconnect with yourself...This is the time of reflection. This is the time of acceptance and letting go...hence, the second point…
2. If you don’t let go of the past, you will never appreciate the present.
Yes you may have fond memories of your exes, but that was in the past. Always cherish those memories, but you need to stop clinging to them to live for today and plan for tomorrow.
3. Find what you're missing
Now that you're single, you have an opportunity to do all the things you couldn't while in a relationship. Take this time to enjoy and complete yourself.
4. Being single does not have to mean being afraid to love.
Yes, your heart has been bashed, bruised and broken. But don’t feel traumatized, and don't be afraid to love again. Hopefully the next someone will treasure and treat your heart with love and respect.
Staying open to love isn’t just about attracting a new relationship; it’s about being open to life.
5. Change can be good too
Adaptation takes time, but think of all the possibilities—meeting new people, going to new places, tackling new projects.
Sometimes change is the best thing for us, as it opens us up to new activities and environments.
6. There is still so much to appreciate
Being single is not the end of the world. Even with a broken heart, you are still standing...still breathing. There are still so many possibilities!.
7. There's always family and wonderful friends
There are always lovely and wonderful family and friends who are ready to listen to and support you. You shouldn't feel alone.
8. Being single is a call to focus on yourself.
Sometimes being in a relationship can make you lazy about developing yourself. You can get so comfortable that your goals take a back seat.
When you’re single, it prompts you to look deep inside yourself and identify the person you really want to be—whether you’re in a relationship or not.
9. Something better will come your way if you’re open to it.
“To see a rainbow, one has to pass a storm.”
When something bad happens, we tend to concentrate on the negatives, forgetting that there must be something positive hidden somewhere in the havoc.
You will know happiness in the future—and in the present, if you’re open to it.
10. Above all things, never lose love for yourself...
Remain happy...being in a relationship shouldn't define who you are... Staying positive and optimistic will attract the right person into your life soon enough! Meanwhile, be a "happy single"
