4. New traditions
You don’t need to respect all the traditions that are out there. You can do whatever you feel like doing. For example, you can binge-watch all the festive movies that you want, you can decorate your tree whenever and however you want! You can even turn a festive day into a spa day just for yourself! You don’t need to worry about anyone else, so do whatever makes YOU happy!
5. Go back to your roots
If you’re feeling a little blue, and you are thinking about your hometown, then why don’t you go on a trip? This way, you can enjoy the holiday spirit without being the actual host. You can catch up with your old friends, walk around the neighborhood, visit your favorite places from when you were a kid and remember the good old days when you didn’t have a care in the world (maybe just some Math homework).
6. No expectations
This one is really important because it makes you feel calm and happy. You don’t meet anyone’s standards, you don’t have to compromise, you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. You get to enjoy your time off, to catch up with everything that you might have left off because of work, stress, or a tight schedule.
You get to celebrate this season exactly the way you want, without having to convince anyone to agree with you! You can do whatever makes you happy, to do the things that make you feel special and that make your heart sing!
TAKEAWAY
If you are feeling blue just thinking of the fact that you are going to spend your holidays without being part of a couple, then look at the bright side. This is your chance to reconnect with yourself, to focus all your time and energy on yourself, to make YOU your first priority! Enjoy the moment that you are in, get excited about the holidays, and about the fact that you have made it through this year! A relationship doesn’t define you, so you have to get comfortable with spending some time alone before you can share it with anybody else!
Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, put on a festive movie and have yourself a happy holiday!
