Living Positive in a single life

How to not feel lonely when you are single

Living Positive in a single life
Pamela Hicks

It is hard to stay happy all the time when you are a single person. You go to work, go home, eat and go to bed.

Living a single life isn't all that bad, it is what you make of it. For me, I happen to be living with friends who push me to accomplish my dreams. It wasn't always like that. I have lived by myself all I did was work and go . I started working out and go for runs and yes... I even took myself out to eat. Yes.. It would get lonely doing things by myself but when you become happy with yourself, being around family and friends notice you may be happy with yourself as well.

Okay,, How do Single people do it? It isn't always easy.

Make a goal for yourself. What do you want out of life? Do you want a career?

Find a Hobby you enjoy like painting, being in theater, writing, reading, going to church events, etc...

Usually you can meet people when you leave the house and socialize but not everyone is comfortable with that. So,, What do you do? Enjoy your hobbies, set up a dating site if you want to meet your special someone.

Once you have set your goals and are going for them and staying busy with your life you will notice how much happier you are with your own life.

Keep in contact with your family and friends!! Very Important! Especially if you have family and friends who support you in everything you do.

Staying Active as in hobbies, sports, working out also helps you stay positive in a single life. Go for a small walk and enjoy the fresh air, you will notice a difference in your attitude in yourself.Go on adventures by yourself but if you do tell at least one person where you are going just in case something may happen to you.

Be aware of your surroundings at all times when you are alone.

Eating healthy.. I may not always eat healthy but I do try.. Does that Count?

Put that music you love so much on and dance in the living room. Once you find your happiness you will start feeling better about yourself and then when you find your special someone they will realize you enjoy life and they will do the same.

Surround yourself with positive people who want to smile and laugh at the silliest things in life. It is the smallest things life that really matter such as sending someone you love or miss a text or give them a call to tell them you miss them or love them.

I have been single for over two years and I am happier now than I have been in such a long time. I am focusing on my goals and dreams in my life, dance to the music, I had even moved to another state where there are much more opportunities in a diifferent state. It was a huge step for me but I am definetly loving it.

Enjoy every moment while you can!

Being single does get lonely at times but I don't have anybody telling me what to do or how to do it. You have to make yourself happy before making anyone else come into your life.

I wasn't ready for someone to come into my life and I met a wonderful, caring girl in another state via facebook and honestly didn't think we would ever meet so I friend zoned her. Once I moved of course and by the time I was ready to settling down she had found someone. Now we hardly talk and I miss her. She was also married at the time we started talking and I didn't want to be the one to cause a divorce so I had backed off as well.

Like I said being single gets a little lonely but if you keep yourself busy enough and find what makes you happy you will be okay. Sooner or Later someone will come into your life and sweep you off your feet. In the meantime enjoy your single life!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
