You are not really single – you are in the most important relationship you will ever be in – the one you have with yourself. That’s why it’s high time to shamelessly spoil yourself and indulge in all of the things you have been postponing for so long.
Don’t be afraid to do things alone. Sometimes alone time is just what the doctor prescribed. When you don’t feel like spending time alone, call some friends and think of things you’ll enjoy doing together. It can be anything you are interested in. Discover yourself and see what you are made of.

Here are some ideas on how to create your own bucket list:
1. Make your own personal home spa experience
Make a bubble bath, light some candles and pour a glass of wine. Relax.
2. Start a day with a sunrise
You can also finish it with a sunrise; it depends on the occasion. Wrap yourself in a blanket, make some coffee and enjoy the sound of silence and beautiful scenery.
3. Do things you think are stupid
They might surprise you. You might end up having fun.
4. Travel to China, Greece….
Even some remote places or countries you never heard about have their unique charms you just have to experience.
5. Book a last minute flight
To anywhere. Have your hand luggage packed and ready and just go.
6. Explore your own surroundings
There are interesting or new places inside your city or its surroundings you may never have heard about or never thought of seeing; give them a chance. If you make an effort and explore a bit, it will pay off.
7. Go road tripping
It can be just for a day. Pick a destination and drive. Don’t forget to play some music and sing as loud as you can for the ultimate road trip experience.
8. Bike ride
‘Cause you are only one bike ride away from a good mood.
9. Go hiking, climb mountains…
Nature is the answer to everything. It clears your mind and makes you see everything from a new perspective.
