Single and struggling a bit? In this article, Beauty and Tips takes a look at the 10 lessons everyone who is single needs to learn. Being single isn\u2019t often something we plan. It\u2019s usually thrust upon us, sometimes without warning. Perhaps you were still making plans for the future with your partner when they told you it was all over. It can hit like a bolt out of the blue. Or perhaps you\u2019ve been single for what you consider to be way too long already. You want to get back on the dating scene but, as yet, you haven\u2019t found a match. For some, being single is tough. We see our friends settling down and wish we could have a bit of that. We get it into our heads that, if only we could meet someone, we would feel motivated to make a really go of life. Our problems would all vanish. Fighting the world on a team with someone else is so much better than braving it alone. However, there is a lot that you can learn about yourself as a singleton. There is a lot to discover. All too often, we\u2019re in a frantic rush to find someone that we miss these lessons. We rush too quickly into another bad relationship, and are once more left to pick up the pieces. Let\u2019s take a look at 10 lessons everyone who is single needs to learn.<\/p>\n
Be Happy<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
If you can\u2019t bring yourself to be happy while you\u2019re single, you\u2019ll struggle to find happiness in another relationship. Don\u2019t allow yourself to be swamped by negativity during this time. Be happy for others. Be positives. Be grateful for what you have. Let positive energy flood into your life.<\/p>\n
Love Yourself<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
You absolutely must learn to love yourself when you are single. If you can\u2019t learn to love yourself, you\u2019ll find it super hard to\u00a0ever\u00a0<\/i>meet your Prince Charming. Why? Because no Prince Charming is going to even find someone \u2013 let alone love them \u2013 who doesn\u2019t know how to love themselves. When you give love \u2013 even to yourself \u2013 you surround yourself with that love. You create an aura. And people see it. They see it and they\u2019re drawn to it. It\u2019s just like in the movies. We\u2019re attracted more to people who love themselves. Before you complete someone else, you must work on yourself first. No one is going to come along, rescue you and solve all your problems unless you\u2019ve made the effort to at least learn to be comfortable with who you are. It feels good to be loved. So try to love yourself. Be comfortable in your own company. Treat yourself. Praise yourself. Take yourself out for a nice meal!<\/p>\n
Life Isn\u2019t Over!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
How many of us suffer a bad break up and declare that life is over? It isn\u2019t. This is just the prologue to a new chapter.<\/p>\n
Move On From The Past<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
One of the problems of being single is that it gives us time \u2013 often too much time \u2013 to dwell on the past. We fixate on past errors and mistakes; wrong choices and bad decisions. We ask ourselves, \u201cwhat could have been if only I\u2019d \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s much better to use your time-out from the dating scene to lick your wounds and move on from the past. Forget If\u2019s, But\u2019s and Maybes. Other people have moved on in your life, and it\u2019s now time for you to find closure, too. Look ahead to the future. Make new goals. Plan for a fresh start. Forgive, forget and let go.<\/p>\n
Being Single Doesn\u2019t Mean You\u2019re A Failure<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Too many of us think that, just because we\u2019re single and alone, we\u2019ve failed at life so far. We feel worthless unless we\u2019re with a man, and we\u2019re single because we deserve to be. No man wants to be with us \u2013 and rightly so! There is definitely a pressure to be in a relationship, but it is often we ourselves that create this pressure. We compare ourselves to our friends who are in a relationship and question why we are not. Answer? Because they\u2019re better than us. You don\u2019t need a relationship to validate your existence. Happiness comes from within. Once you understand this, the right man will come into your life.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Rush Things<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Rushing into another relationship for the sake of being in a relationship is a bad idea. Be prepared to wait. Bide your time. This will ensue you\u2019re not attached to some loser when Prince Charming comes along!<\/p>\n
Analyse Your Mistakes<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
When we take a timeout from anything, we should use it to analyse where we went wrong. If you\u2019re newly single, use this time to reflect on your past relationships. Ask yourself why they ended the way they did. Was there something you could have done differently? Could you have been more flexible, perhaps? This kind of self-examination can be difficult, but it needs to be done if we\u2019re to make a better go of our future relationships.<\/p>\n
There Is More To Life Than A Relationship<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
When we\u2019re in a relationship, many of us commit ourselves whole heartedly. That\u2019s perfectly fine. But a lot of us give everything we have got, and forget all about the other aspects of our life. Use your time while single to reconnect with other areas of your life. Realise that you have so much more to offer the world than your love to a man. Discover your passions again, see friends you haven\u2019t seen for a while.<\/p>\n
Be Mindful<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Lesson number nine is that you should live in the moment. Don\u2019t dwell on the past and don\u2019t worry about the future. Enjoy every second of freedom you have right now. It won\u2019t last!<\/p>\n
Things Happen For A Reason<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
It\u2019s often not something we can accept at the time. We\u2019ve been broken up with, we didn\u2019t want it to happen, and we can\u2019t accept that it happened \u201cfor a reason.\u201d However, as we look back on the big moments in our lives, we realise that things truly do happen for a reason. As one door closes, another one opens. While being singe might not feel so grand right now, remember that this is just another step on your journey through life. It\u2019s preparation for yet another one.<\/p>\n
Stay happy!<\/p>\n
