3 Tips To Keep You Busy When You Don’t Have A Saturday Night Date
Sometimes when you’re single, weekends can be unbelievably long especially when you have nothing to do.
Your couples friends are at the latest restaurant, party or movie and you’re left at home watching Netflix, eating your popcorn wishing you could find someone to share your life with.
Being single can be lonely and challenging but it can also be a time where you get back in touch with YOU again.
After my second marriage ended, I remember a friend of mine sharing these wise words with me.
“Lisa, enjoy this time regrouping and getting back in touch with what you love. It’s a time you have total control over your life and can do anything you want.”
I took her words to heart and began creating the life I wanted.
It was actually a lot of fun.
And it gave me time to heal before re-entering the dating scene.
Plus it gave me things to do when I didn’t have a weekend date.
Here are 3 tips you can start using right away to fill your life with fun while waiting to find your special someone.
Tip #1….Girlfriends are super important when you’re single.
They support you during your ups and downs and they’re there for you when you want to play.
Don’t have enough girlfriends in your life?
Make a list of all the women you know that you could do an activity with.
Ask friends to help you with this tip by sharing the names of their single girlfriends.
Call them up and go have fun! Go to comedy clubs, the movies or out to dinner.
You won’t be sitting home every weekend when you have friends to hang out with.
Tip #2…Make a list of everything you’ve wanted to do but haven’t.
I remember wanting to take painting classes so I signed up for one at my local community center.
Over time, not only did I learn how to paint with watercolors but I also became friends with a couple of women in my class, which fits tip #1 perfectly!
Here are some ideas about things to do to get you started…
- Art classes like painting and Zentangle
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Horseback Riding (I had fun with this one until I fell off the horse)
- Baking Classes
- Book Clubs
- Salsa Dancing
Tip #3…Join Meetup.com
Today, quite a few meet-ups are geared to over 50’s men and women.
With all the activities they offer, you never have to sit at home alone ever again.
In my area, some of the meet ups offered this month are activities like candle making while enjoying cheese, dessert and wine, Happy Hours, a Comedy Club, Sunday brunch and a film fest just to name a few.
It’s time now for you to get busy creating a fun life.
Your homework this week….
1. Make a list of friends you can spend time with
2. Create a list of activities that would be fun to do then choose one and try it out this week
