50 Solo Date Ideas
Is your relationship with yourself in need of a good revamp?
Perhaps you've never really considered this concept, that you are in a relationship with yourself.
I'm sure we can all relate to the 'honeymoon phase' of a romantic relationship. It's new, fun and exciting. You're going on heaps of dates and having lots of sex! You can't get enough of each other, right?
Well, what if you were to invite this playful, exciting, fun and passionate energy into your relationship with yourself? What if you were to revamp the relationship with yourself and treat yourself like you would treat a lover?
When you start to treat yourself as someone who is equally worthy and deserving of your own time, love, attention and energy, it will start to shift the way you think and feel about yourself.
When you allow yourself to play, relax and have fun, just for enjoyment and in your own company, your sense of self-worth starts to flourish, because you're essentially telling yourself you're worthy of good things.
Your mission here is simple!
Pick a day/night this week and organise a special date for yourself. Treat yourself. Buy yourself flowers. Get dressed up. Take yourself to a nice restaurant or if you enjoy cooking, light some candles, put on some music and cook your favourite meal. Or perhaps take yourself on a picnic or take a day trip somewhere new. Your date night could even be running a bath and reading a book.
So, what's your idea of a romantic date? Need some inspiration?
