Have you ever dated yourself? I mean planned an outing just for you, maybe a spa service, lunch with a good book, shopping for no reason, a long walk in the park?
You know the saying, “If you can’t make yourself happy, you can’t make others happy.” Part of making yourself happy is to create time to enjoy what you like to do. Sure, there is pleasure in enjoying all the activities listed above with a great friend, child, or spouse however there is a little bit of magic when you completely unplug and take time to just enjoy your own company.
It is amazing what happens during that time as well. Thoughts that might have been buried in the hustle-bustle begin to emerge, maybe it is you want to call a long-lost friend, you remember someone is celebrating a milestone and you want to send a card. It could even be a realization it is time to plan that next vacation. At best, it is a moment of pause at how lucky and grateful you are for the life you live.
Give it a try, I assure you, when your date is over you will feel restored and relaxed.
Fully supportive of this!!
