One idea to consider

The art of being alone is a deeply personal and enriching practice that can lead to profound self-discovery and growth. Unlike loneliness, which often carries a negative connotation and a sense of lack, being alone is about embracing solitude as a positive and constructive state of being. It offers a canvas for self-reflection, creativity, and inner peace, free from the distractions and demands of social interactions.

Solo dates are an opportunity to delve deeply into our thoughts, to listen to our innermost desires, and to align our actions with our true selves. It's a time when creativity can flourish, free from the distractions and opinions of others. Learning to be comfortable in our own company teaches resilience, fosters independence, and cultivates a sense of contentment that isn't reliant on external validation.

Solo dates is mastering the art of being alone. Through this, we discover the joy of getting to know ourselves on a deeper level, leading to a richer, more authentic life.

One practice to try on

Take yourself out on an solo date!

Here are a few of my favorite ideas:

  • Nature walk followed by a sweet treat

  • Fancy dinner and movie

  • Do something creative you’ve always wanted to try (e.g. oil painting, pottery, cooking class)

  • Weekend or vacation trip

One question to ask

β€œWhat’s a belief you had as a child that you’ve completely changed your perspective on?”
