Happy Things to do while Single

It's never boring to do some activities by yourself, especially when you can't depend on your friends or companion.  You have to embrace this situation for now, and just enjoy it while you only have to think about yourself.

I have to call it a 'Date Yourself' activities, or simply happy things to do to keep you busy on understanding of who you are and what you want in life.  The following will help and guide you in finding your talent, or what you are good at.  It should help you make the best out of yourself, and learn who "your people" are, as you will naturally interact with different people, especially in group activities.  Live in your moment now, where you are free and remember that making mistakes is part of life's lesson.

Indoor Activities.  

The list are fun things to do at home but you can also try to do in other places.  

1.  Finish reading a novel.  Stop being hooked on Netflix and HBO.  See for yourself how far your imagination can take you as you read. You can also read a book on a cafe, in a library, or near the beach.

2.  Learn to play your favorite song on a musical instrument.

3.  Schedule to watch and finish a tv series that is informative and mind-boggling.  Don't binge-watch; instead, make sure you limit yourself to one to two hours of watching a day.

4.  Cooking or baking your favorite food.  Doing this is not one time specially if you want to share it.  Practice makes a perfect recipe. 

5. Painting with numbers. You don't have to be an artist to paint.  Try the paint with numbers craft kit and paint like a pro.

6.  Start planting a garden on some planted pots.  It is so much fun to water and nurture plants, and see how they grow and bloom.  You can grow indoor and outdoor flowers and plants.

7.  Start writing a journal. Just write something, your thoughts, thanksgivings, and rants.  Later on, you will find yourself captivated on this endeavor and you will discover the benefits of journaling.

8. Complete a DIY project like repainting your bedroom wall,  or a small furniture, or decor the  interior of your rooms.

11.  Take some time to ponder your spirituality.  Think about religion, faith, God and your purpose in life.  Schedule a visit for a religious activity, read the bible and write down prayers and gratitudes. 

All of these activities seems to give you a sense of accomplishment because of the time and attention  you spends on them.
