You are probably so busy that the only time you break is to make time for your family, friends, work or other aspects of your life. However, you need to know that if you don't live for yourself or take time to do something for yourself sometimes, then your life is somewhat vain. After all, the overall goal of everything we do in life is to elevate ourselves, so what good is that elevation if you can't do nice things for yourself once in a while? Here are some ideas to consider for your solo dates ( the perfect time for you to invest in yourself without worrying about everything else).
Movie Date
If you're looking to spend time with yourself, what better way to do it than while catching up on your favourite shows? Whether you decide to watch a movie at home or go out to the cinema, this is something you can do without getting bored at all. The next time you're planning to spend time with yourself at home, just grab a blanket, pop some popcorn, and tune into your favourite show for the rest of the day, which will be a relaxed day of fun.
Hiking
Connecting with nature is therapy in itself. It gives you the chance to destress and get in touch with your instincts so why not spend your soo date on a hike? Despite being entertaining and having mental benefits, hiking will also keep you in shape and well-exercised. If you're a nature person or someone who enjoys exercise, the next time you are looking for a way to spend your solo date, consider putting on your hiking shoes and finding the perfect nature trail to follow up. You can even bring your journal with you so that you can jot down your thoughts as you hike.
Food Date
If you are a foodie, then this one's for you. You should consider going on a food date as a solo date idea. After all, why not pair two of your favourite things together and enjoy your day of relaxation and tasty treats all at once? Find a nice spot that is less populated and crowded as well as relaxation-inducing, and find yourself a nice table for one to enjoy your lunch or dinner alone. Make sure you don't dwell on comfort foods but instead, try other newer food options that may be there. This is the perfect time for you to savour all your meals without having to keep up with conversations or the eating rate of everyone around you. You can enjoy your food just the way you want to.
Spa Day
Nothing beats the freshness you will feel after a good spa day. Having your body all scrubbed and exfoliated, nails well cut and elegantly shaped and your skin glowing after a long week is therapy in itself. You can even opt for a package with a massage so that you can feel the tension in your body go away as you become more relaxed and lighter. Take yourself on a solo spa date once in a while to recuperate and boost your energy levels. After a good spa day, your brain will even work better than before so indulge yourself with a good spa date whenever you can.
Road Trip Date
If you ever just feel like hitting the road and going away from everything in a day, then I'm sure this solo date idea is amusing to you. Why not just pack your favourite snacks, blast your favourite tunes and enjoy a day on the road for a day? Just make sure your car is well-serviced before this date idea; otherwise, you'll end up finding yourself stranded and alone. Research areas around you with beautiful scenery and create a checklist of places you want to visit en route to your final marked destination, then start your road trip.
Art Date
There's just something therapeutic and mood-enhancing about art and the different paint colours it holds. It is the perfect do-alone activity that will calm down your anxiety levels, leaving you relaxed and to explore your artsy side. Who knows, art is your hidden talent. Start by setting up everything and ensuring that you find a comfortable solo place to enjoy your paint adventure. You can even enhance this experience by putting on some music and having your favourite glass of wine in your hand. Take the time you need to relax and allow yourself to paint away your feelings.
Reading Date
There's just something about a good book that promotes peace, calm and serenity in one’s life. You can especially understand this if you love your literature. Imagine sitting on the lawn, your favourite snacks set up and wearing a very comfortable outfit while catching up on your reading. This will get you even more immersed in your reading. Not only is this a good relaxation solo date idea but you will also get to gain some knowledge while at it. Talk about a two-in-one deal!
Wine Tasting Date
Only a few people have a good appreciation of wine. Most of us just gulp whatever wine is put in front of us with hopes of getting drunk quickly so that we can enjoy the euphoric feeling that being drunk brings. However, if you go on a solo wine-tasting date, you can broaden your knowledge of good wine by savouring every glass that is handed to you and drinking to enjoy the taste, not to get drunk. These wine-tasting dates also have the perfect food to match the wine, making it an even more enjoyable solo date experience. If you love your wine, here is the perfect opportunity to understand it even more.
