The number of unmarried individuals continues to grow, and many women view this ‘single status’ as an opportunity to take care of themselves.

Single life is not a sentence but an opportunity

Becoming single again and no longer thinking “for two” is not easy. Even if the decision to end the relationship was yours and you feel a sense of relief, you might still have to deal with many conflicting and fluctuating emotions that you will need to process for a while.

Sometimes you will be ready to go out with friends, while other times you will just want to stay at home. There will be days when you feel great, even ready for a new relationship if you want, while on other days you might be overwhelmed by melancholy for the recently ended relationship.

The good news is that you can overcome these “turbulences” to fully enjoy your single life!

To do so, it’s very important to keep in mind two fundamental aspects of returning to single life:

1. The arrival of a great love is an event that cannot be planned. The time spent alone is crucial for taking care of yourself and cultivating love, not only for yourself but also for friends, family, a pet, a project, or a cause you care about.
2. Being single (or becoming single again) is an opportunity to reflect and ask yourself what you want in a relationship, what you are doing to find it, and if there are aspects of previous relationships that still weigh on you, preventing you from experiencing true love.

The good news is that you can overcome these “turbulences” to fully enjoy your single life!

The first positive aspect now that you are single is that you have all the time in the world to do what you like most or what you need to take care of yourself, without having to account for a partner and trying to coordinate your free time with theirs.

Every day you can change your schedule and try new things, however and whenever you want.

• Do you feel like taking a last-minute trip?
• Will you have a week full of happy hours and parties to celebrate old friends’ birthdays?
• Do you have a hairdresser/beautician appointment that can’t wait any longer?

Now you have all the time to accomplish what you want without the burden of constantly having to divide your time and commitments for and with someone else.

But that’s not all, this will also help you focus better on your studies or your career, building day by day the work you desire. Taking control of your professional life will not only make you economically independent but also fulfilled and satisfied as you see the great results you achieve, relying solely on your efforts and dedication.

Single Life: 1. You’ll find more time to dedicate to yourself, your dreams, and your future

Single Life: 2. You’ll be able to expand your friendships and surround yourself with the right people

You will be more inclined to go out, meet new people, and form new relationships. This openness to social life, accepting invitations, and testing yourself in different situations will allow you to discover a new you, enhancing your social skills, improving your empathy, and your ability to get along with different kinds of people.

Single Life: 3. You’ll learn to become independent and self-reliant

Having a man by your side can make you “lazier” and less able to make decisions independently. Being single, on the other hand, is the start of relying solely on your own abilities, developing stronger determination to make decisions with greater confidence and firmness.

Living as a single person also means having the advantage of learning sooner and better how to complete daily tasks on your own, such as:

• Doing the grocery shopping during the week or on weekends
• Cooking after workdays
• Cleaning the house
• Doing household chores that are often considered “mainly male” (such as assembling new furniture for the house)
• And much more…

Single Life: 4. You’ll love yourself immensely and be ready to welcome the right person

Often, out of fear of being alone, you risk ending up with partners who (only apparently) seem right for you. Or you stay in relationships that no longer fulfill you. Choosing to remain alone means starting to carefully evaluate the type of partner you want by your side, without lowering your standards.

There will come a time when you realize that you can be very happy on your own, and when that moment arrives, you’ll understand that you have freed yourself from unhealthy emotional dependencies, starting to see your next partner as an added value rather than a necessity.

You will be willing to wait for them without anxiety, enjoying your wonderful single life and occasionally having fun meeting new people on dating apps like Yooppe!

Let your new, wonderful, happy, and fulfilling single life begin!
