5 Ways to Embrace Single Life During the Holidays

But this holiday season doesn’t have to be filled with dread and sadness. Before you lose faith in happy endings, renew your heart with these single survival tips and get into the Holiday Spirit.

Hey lovely! We know the holiday season is known for a time of joy, celebration, and love, but lets be real – it’s not like that for everyone. If you’re single and feeling a little lonely, maybe you’d rather dodge the office holiday party and just Netflix & chill instead. I totally get it.

And don’t even mention New Year’s Eve – the only thing you can visualize kissing at midnight is your champagne glass, right? But listen to me, gorgeous, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Before you lose faith in happy endings, I want you to renew your heart with these single survival tips. Let’s get you into the Holiday Spirit and feeling empowered!

Find Love Around You

Just because you don’t have a romantic partner to share your heart with right now, doesn’t mean you don’t have any love in your life, babe. This is actually the perfect time to focus on your friends and family and become inspired by the connections you already have.

Try to approach everything you do with a loving heart. Every person you meet – share your love with him or her. Give them the experience (in the most appropriate way of course!) of what it would be like to be loved by you. Why not create a nest of love in your life as preparation for your new love to arrive?

Quick question for you ladies – who is one person in your life that makes you feel absolutely cherished? Let’s give them a shoutout in the comments!

Have Fun

If you are looking for love, or getting over a heartbreak, staying at home feeling sorry for yourself definately won’t increase your chances of meeting Mr. Right. Trust me on this, it wont make you feel any better either.

Don’t give a past partner or the situation that much power to make your life miserable. Go out, have fun and live your life to the fullest! Take advantage of being single and learn to enjoy your own company. When you’re having fun, you are radiant and irresistible to everyone who can’t help but love you!

Treasure Yourself

You’ve heard it before, but are you living it? All relationships begin with the one you have with yourself. You can’t expect anyone else to treat you sweetly if you don’t know how to treat yourself first.

So many women hold back their greatness by waiting until someone “chooses” them to make them feel special. Don’t wait, darling! If you desire a partner to treat you like a princess, you must be able to look into the mirror and see your own value first. Give yourself the gift of self-love this holiday season and watch your love life reach new heights.

I’m curious – what is one small gift you can buy for yourself this week to celebrate YOU? Share your ideas below to inspire other women!

Have a Mantra

Whenever you find yourself getting down on love, switch your attention to a mantra that will bring you back to relief and on the road to faith again. Words have power, babe.

You may say something along the lines of, “I am beautiful. I am loved. I am safe. I deserve to be loved, and I deserve to love. I am in perfect harmony with the energy of true love.” Repeat this ten times a day along with a meditation for 30 days. Your life will become more beautiful and change in ways you’d never imagined.

Let Go of Any Expectations

Before you go off to that party, it’s natural to wonder if maybe tonight will be the night where you meet “the one.” But if you’re continually thinking this way, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.

The universe knows that you want love, and believe me, all the details are being lined up behind the scenes. Your job is to have the faith that it will show up at the right time and to listen to your gut. Instead, have the intention to share your love, stop focusing on your imperfections and celebrate who you are and who you are becoming.

How can I stop feeling lonely during the holidays?
Focus on the love you do have – friends, family, and most importantly, yourself. shifting your perspective from what is missing to what is present changes your energy instantly.

Is it okay to skip holiday parties if I’m single?
Absolutely, babe. Protect your energy. However, try not to isolate out of fear. If you go, go with the intention to have fun, not to hunt for a partner.

What is a good self-love practice for the holidays?
Treat yourself to something you’d want a partner to do for you. Buy yourself flowers, take a spa day, or simply write yourself a love letter acknowledging how far you’ve come.
