5 Tips To Enjoy Yourself On Your Solo Date

1. Plan Ahead. Pick an activity that excites you and make a plan. Anticipation makes it even more fun.
2. Be Present. Like any date you go on you want to be invested and pay attention to the person you are with. So ditch your phone and make sure that you are as present with yourself as possible. This time is all about you, your self-care and building your self-love.
3. Dress Up. Wear something that makes you feel fabulous and at ease. Confidence is key to enjoying yourself.
4. Try Something New. Going out alone can feel scary but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Many times I find that it’s more about fear of the unknown. The cure for this is to jump in, move forward and embrace the unknown. New experiences can be thrilling and deeply satisfying. You’ll also find out that a self-date can be a lot of fun.
5. Connect, Reflect and Journal. After your self date, take a moment to reflect when you get home. Jot down your thoughts, feelings and include 5 things that you are grateful for about yourself or the experience you just had.

At the end of the day, taking yourself on a self-date is a beautiful act of self-love. It’s a chance to explore your interests and recharge your spirit. To truly enjoy your own company. So embrace these moments and make them special.

After all, you are worth every bit of joy and adventure. Happy solo dating!
