Salute to the Singles: Weekend Edition


I have given suggestions for all those in relationships through my Random Romantic Tip posts. However, what about the single people of the world?! Don’t worry, this post is for you. Well actually, it is for us since I am single too. Although we don’t have a special someone in our life doesn’t mean we can’t treat ourselves to something nice and relaxing like I suggested for the couples. Therefore, below I have a little advice for you to have a great Sunday evening as well. 

Go out and buy your favorite dinner. Or if you want, make your favorite dinner at home. Be sure to pick up a dessert and a bottle of good wine or other beverage of choice (it can be alcoholic or not). Before you eat your dinner put on some relaxing music and light some candles (or dim the ceiling lights). Once this is done, be sure your dinner is put away and can stay warm. Next, put your phone on silent and take a nice hot shower. Stand in the shower and the let the hot water run on our head and feel it as it streams down your body. Pay attention to every strand of water running down your body and let it relax you. After your shower, put on some comfortable clothing and proceed to you dinner. Prepare your plate and pour your drink. At this point, turn your music up a little louder so you can really take in the vibes of the sounds. Sing along with the music if you want. As you eat your dinner, take slow bites and savor every part of the meal. As you eat, drink, and listen to the music, think of some fun memories/stories from your past. Remember, its ok to laugh out loud to yourself too. Whatever you do just allow yourself to be totally relaxed.

After you finish dinner, go get your dessert. Sit on your couch or lie in bed and put your feet up. Eat your dessert slowly as you continue to listen to the music. Let yourself slip into the melodies of the music. Now, remember this next tip. DO NOT allow yourself to wonder about what life would be like if you had a boy/girl-friend. Also, do not worry about the rigors of life that may be plaguing you at the moment. That will defeat the whole purpose of this night. This night is about you enjoying yourself. Only think about how lucky you are to have the ability to be in your own space with a good dinner, some dessert, and relaxing music. There are many people who would do unspeakable things to be in your shoes. So appreciate all that you have going on in your life and don’t allow your mind to toil over thoughts about what may not be right in your life at the moment. 

As the night goes on, continue to relax with your music and your thoughts. If you can, fall asleep to the sound of the music. If the music doesn’t allow you to sleep, cut it off and head to bed while you are relaxed and can have a good night of sleep. I’m sure doing everything above will help you have a great start to your week.

Happy Sunday!

Justin
