16.11.2024 20:50

Being single and without a relationship leaves many people feeling extremely uncomfortable and anxious.

Harmonious life in such periods is hindered by attitudes. Thus, some believe that weak/average relationships are better than none, while others may think that at their age people are supposed to create couples and families, etc.

Below you will find recommendations to help reduce anxiety levels during such periods.

Make friends with uncertainty

You need to get used to the idea that since everything in life is constantly changing, certainty is something unattainable. No one can predict future events, so instead of trying to guess, approach life with excitement and curiosity.

Use your time wisely

Major breakthroughs tend to happen when we are single. The time you spend without a relationship can be used, for example, to explore your desires, needs, boundaries, etc.

Realize your value and use energy from other sources

In addition to relationships, in the life of each of us there are friends, ourselves, work, hobbies, spiritual life, etc. These areas require no less investment.

Growing and developing in something other than your relationship is your foundation for building a healthy couple. Only after you understand your value as an individual can you set healthy boundaries and make a realistic assessment of what kind of relationship is right for you and whether your potential partner is ready for it.

Love your unique path

The good thing about every person’s story is that it is unique, made up of his own experiences, wounds, actions, etc.

There is no point in fearing the future or regretting what didn't happen. Instead, love how your unique adventure is unfolding and immerse yourself in it.
