Be happy even being single

Being single is not an alien thing at all. It is as normal as being coupled. But some myths are there about being single; it is said that when you have been single for a long time, getting into a relationship is hard, because you have become so comfortable with being alone, and bringing someone into the mix suddenly sounds like a lot. However, believe it or not, there are a lot of benefits of being single. Here are some of the surprisingly amazing benefits of being single 

Your support system grows

If you are in a relationship, you find yourself completely dependent on your partner. You share your sorrows, joys, fears with them; rely on them for support advice and help. But when they leave your life, you are saddled with the shocking thought that you are all alone.

This is usually why individuality is preached to people in relationships. When you are single, you have a network of support systems, instead of being tied down to one person.

Single people, while they have a group of close friends they can always reach up to, it is also easier for them to get help from friends, than it is for those in relationships.

Your time is only yours

When you are single, you do not make plans for anyone but you. Your time is your own. You could decide to go out, and then change your mind almost immediately, and no one will be mad at you for it.

There is also no one crashing into an already arranged schedule and making you change your entire plans. You also do not have to make time for anything that is not exactly beneficial to you. As a single person, you can just take your time off without explanations to anybody.

You spend money only for yourself

Being single means that you have less financial responsibilities. It costs a lot of money. It costs money for dates. It costs money on gifts for occasions, birthdays and anniversaries.

Love requires money; and time, which is also converted money. When you are single your credit card is only yours to make you more comfort and happy.

Less anxiety

When a random friend texts you and says “Hey, we need to talk” chances are you might even forget the message.

But, when you are in a relationship and your partner texts you with that, best believe you will spend the entire day with an abnormal heart rate, trips to the toilet, and sweaty palms.

That message sends a lot of thoughts spiraling out of control in your mind, and they will continue flying until you have the conversation.

These benefits seem small and rather inconsequential, but these are really makes your life with fewer anxieties, financial constraints, more time and a larger support system. 

Now, let’s talk about how to be happy single and live your best life.

Do all the fun things

It is funny when people walk up to people who are at the restaurant alone and ask them “waiting for someone?” Who gave the rules that people could not go to restaurant alone? You can go to restaurant alone; you can go to movies alone, you can go for shopping alone.

Fun things are better enjoyed alone. When you do all these things alone, you learn how to appreciate the little things of life that come from enjoying alone. 

Go on a vacation 

The place you have always wanted to visit, take your passport, save up for it and take that trip alone. Meet beautiful people, take pictures, laugh loudly, eat strange foods, be happy, dance with locals, simply do all the wonderful things that you can do while traveling alone.

Make friends

You are not an island, you need a support system. Meet new friends of both genders, different sectors. This is an important way to make sure that you can always get the help you need.

On the other hand, if you are in a relationship it might be difficult to foster a relationship with other people, because you may not have time for them.

But when you are single, you do not need to split your attention, you just need to focus it on people who are there for you. Also, be there for them too.

Give yourself a break

It is easy to beat yourself up over small failures and mistakes. Be easy on yourself, forgive yourself, be happy with the strides that you have taken, look at the good stud you have done alone, and be proud of yourself. You will notice that you are seeking validation from another person to show you the good in you. You need to understand that when you do not see and appreciate the good in you, no one else will.

How to be happy single is by telling yourself that you are an awesome person.

Get involved in activities

Enjoy getting involved in some beautiful moments, bask in them, and relish the experience. Chase your goals, do all the things that you never used to have time for. Take that online/offline course that you never seemed to find time for before now.

Bask in the opportunity to be a better person. Join to a charity; try to bring happiness for others who needed. Doing all these will help you to find the inner happiness. 

Do something unusual

If you are often the prim and proper type, do something crazy and adventurous. If you are often the crazy type, it might be time to wear a formal outfit and attend an event where you have to consciously try to not unleash your crazy.

Does that sound hard? That is exactly why you should do it. Stretch yourself and unleash the new person that your friends and family can swear never existed. It will bring something different in your life and you can find a new you. 

Life is beautiful, you do not have to be unhappy because you are alone; there are so many things to find happiness in. Live like the world ends today and there will be no tomorrow. So all is yours, just grab it.
