Sometimes it seems like increasing your self-esteem is harder than pounding a nail into a concrete wall with five dollar hammer. If you hit away all day, you might notice some progress. You might even need to use lots of different nails just to make a tiny scratch. If you keep at it, you can see improvement. You may have wondered if there are health benefits of self-love.
Benefits of Self-Love
There is a study that says— Yes! There are benefits of self-love
But it’s not a quick fix, especially if you’ve got a serious case of low self-esteem. Being single gives you time to be by yourself and reflect on things. You know like life. Why you’re here and how the hell did those voices get into your head.
It might take time to love yourself, but the benefits of self-love will show up fast if you slow down enough to pay attention
There’s no time like like Valentine’s Month to do a little researching so you too can join in the self-love club. At the University of Oxford and the University of Exeter researchers looked at the heart rates of participants. There were five groups. Each segment listened to a different serious of 11-minute audios.
- Group #1 was told to send “kind and compassionate attention to their body sensations.”
- Group #2 was to “direct friendly wishes” toward a person they liked.
- Group #3 was asked to think about an achievement
- Group #4 was guided to think about something they did not accomplish
- Group #5 was to imagine going to a grocery store.
Then they answered questions regarding things like people connections, being kind to themselves and their sense of safety. Loving yourself can help you feel good even if you’re single on Valentine’s Day.
They analyzed the effects of the results of these different thoughts of students through sweat and heart rate
Researchers noted that there were benefits to self-love. The researchers found the being kind to yourself turns of the fight or flight response and instead makes your body go into a relaxed state. Being relaxed is essential for regeneration and healing.
Another researcher said “Our study is helping us understand the mechanism of how being kind to yourself when things go wrong could be beneficial in psychological treatments. By switching off our threat response, we boost our immune systems and give ourselves the best chance of healing.”
So you can stop judging others, and yourself. Instead, tell yourself things are actually pretty decent today. Even fabulous! Don’t beat yourself up over things that happen like being three minutes late for work. No scenario in anyone’s life is Hollywood perfect. Or is it?
Remember every blockbuster movie has the formula that everyone loves
There are rags to riches, and a person falling hard and rising to their top. Another movie formula has the hero rise, then crash, then rise again more satisfied, and feeling powerful. And there are of course there are the movies that aren’t so warm and fuzzy.
The one where the hero falls rises and falls once again into the dark abyss. But we know which movie endings we like the best, right? The one where there are struggle and pain. You’re then left with some happiness and hopefully a lot more wisdom.
What kind of movie script do you want your life to look like?
According to scientists — being the hero who struggles, triumphs and learns about self-love is the script I’m going to write for my journey. What movie do you want to live? I’m choosing the self-love masterpiece.
Lots of Love,

Because sometimes I wasn’t that happy. In fact, I was severely depressed because I was single. At least that’s why I thought I never wanted to get out of bed. I desperately wanted to know how to be happy being single. I then discovered these five self-love secrets.
Now I’ve learned being single is great! Once you get over that “being single is hard” mindset it’s hard not to be single.
It’s incredible when you learn how to be happy being single.
There could be a barrage of men (or women) banging down your door begging to be with you. Instead of inviting them in for tea or into your bed— You slam the door in their wishing-they-weren’t-single faces.
You are happy as a peach and living alone and on your terms.
I’m going to share with you the five self-love secrets for singles that will make your hitched-up friends jealous. They’re not rocket science. However, some of these self-love secrets take a little practice to get the I’m super-happy-being-single momentum going.
5 Self-Love Secrets For Singles
Practice The Art Of Saying No
Back in my doormat days I often said “Yes” when I would have been better off saying “No.”
- Having that last drink I shouldn’t have consumed.
- Paying for expensive dinners or gifts when I couldn’t afford it.
- Going on dates when I was under the weather and my sick body was whimpering “Please don’t go— Stay home and drink some lemon-ginger tea and go to bed.”
Learning to say no when it doesn’t feel good to you is OK. But when you are a people pleaser— It’s a hard habit to break— But you must. You can’t please everyone all the time. The word no is something you need to learn to know how to be happy and single.
Be Self-Aware
You probably won’t be like the Dahli Lama in a week when you start this practice. According to Thai Nguyen stopping your negative self-talk can keep you depressed and stressed out.
Notice your reactions to others and yourself. If you feel upset to ask yourself “Why?” and “What?”
“Why am I feeling this way and what can I do to feel better?” Then do the thing that makes you feel better. If you don’t know what these ask yourself another question.
“What brings joy in my life?” Petting the cat, painting, drinking coffee, cuddling up and watching a funny movie or meditating? Figure out what makes your heart sing or calm down.
Cherish Your Friends
Friends (New and old ones) are good for your soul. Cultivate friendships in all areas of your life. Call your friends up to see how they’re doing. Listen to what they say and respond with empathy.
If you need a sounding board to vent friends are a great place to start releasing some stress. Talking with friends is especially helpful for women. Chatting with friends helps release Oxytocin that is the feel-good hormone.
Be Nice To Yourself
When you notice any adverse self-talk, you might have to use your self-awareness. Tap into the thoughts you’re thinking, listen to them, and remember these thoughts probably aren’t ever your own.
If you talk nasty to yourself, switch your thoughts to something more positive. It doesn’t have to be “perfect” thoughts. Start with “better” thoughts and work your way up to “excellent” thoughts over time.
If you want to know how to be happy being single if you say “I hate this (fill in the blank)” switch it to something like “It’s not that bad,” or I’m getting better at seeing the good in this (insert thing that makes you crazy).
This method isn’t “perfect” and learning how to be happy being single knowing that nothing is “perfect” is key to your happiness.
Instead Of Looking At Problems— Get Creative With Solutions
If you’re stuck in traffic and it seems like the most devastating thing that’s ever happened in your life— Look for the silver lining in the line of cars ahead.
- Leave for work a little earlier and stop by that local coffee shop you always pass on your way to the office.
- Listen to some positive audiobooks in the car.
- Call your sister.
- Use Google Voice and start working on that novel you’ve always wanted to write instead of complaining about the waiting.
There can be joy in waiting.
If you want to know how to be happy being single— Follow these five self-love secrets and stop beating yourself up. Being single is incredible if you learn to tweak the few bad habits that make you think otherwise.
Lots of Love,
Dina

There are many people who are single who may want to date, but they do not date people who want to have kids. Many millennials are already faced with student loan debt and are working to pay it off while getting their careers on track. It’s distracting thinking about dating, and even about starting a family. We all want what we want, but we must first be willing to work hard for it. Some people were lucky to be born with a silver spoon in their hand, or to have had their college paid for by their parents. When you have both emotions and have student loans to pay of, you have got to work hard and can’t; deal with any distractions. Every minute matters. Here’s the breakdown in three steps:
Student Loans
They really suck. Trade schools are smart to get into because you can instantly go to work with real skills that are marketable to the world. When You get a general degree, making yourself marketable is tougher. Picking up a side hustle, getting into sales, and starting your own company are great ways to begin to pay off your student loans. You want to work to pay off all your loans and get into a financial position where you can breathe.College is expensive, and not really worth it. Ugh!
Career Focused
Yes, it’s true that millennials are the largest age demographic to be single, unwed, and childless, but it is also true that due to the student loan debt we have we are geared towards making a living and paying it all off. It’s time to be responsible. It’s time to get focused in our careers. Kids and marriage can come later in life, but in your 20’s you have so much energy to make things happen. What you do NOW will affect the rest of your future. You Have to be so careful how you spend your time, and you have to work towards generating GOOD cash flow to set up your future to be bright.
Be Free From Kids
Why bring children into the world when the divorce rate is at 50% and growing, and we live in a world where people are afraid of commitment. Relationships are messy. We need to set things up to counterbalance these events from happening. Use birth control and don’t get emotionally involved. People don’t commit, so why have children with them, especially out of wedlock? Be smart, and be safe.
In order to love better and have a more liberated life, you have got to work hard for what you want. It may require more hours but hey it’s your life and you need to find a way to make it worth something. Get out of debt, focus on your career, and don’t mess around with non-committal people because relationships are messy as it is. When You focus on you, and are bettering your life, you are truly living and being in alignment with your true self and making every second count. There is not a minute to lose, so focus on your goals, write them down, take steps towards them every day, and make what you do count. You can do it, and you are worth it to make your dreams and goals happen! Go get it!
Cheers,
Danielle

Headed home this Thanksgiving? Don’t fret if you’re single. We’ve got a survival guide on how to feel less pressured by your family interrogations. Remember that it is okay to be single. If your family is understanding, you will be just fine, if not, it’s time to pull those adulting pants up. Ready? Here we go!
Step 1: Plan Your Trip Home
Make sure wherever you travel this season that you are prepared to make a safe journey flying or driving home. On your prep list, make sure to have plans to be with your family most of the time, and to also call up your neighborhood friends so you can catch up and take a break from being at home too much.
Step 2: Stand In Your Truth
If you are single and reading this, be proud of who you are. Make sure that you are comfortable with yourself as you are, and that you don’t let anyone make you feel bad for being single. Student loans, self-discovery, and taking time to mature before getting in a relationship all factor into a patient single person. You should never rush to date someone, especially if you aren’t ready. Don’t let anyone push you.
Step 3: Combat Interrogations
Most millennials are single anyhow, and it is a different world today than it was for your grandparents and parents. You may need to remind your family of this, and also let them know that there are pressing economic factors of why most millennials are single. You may feel like you are at a debate, just take a deep breath – it will be over shortly.
Step 4: Take A Break
This is where planning to see your neighborhood friends comes in handy. If you’ve having a tough time adjusting to being back home and getting slack for your relationship, then call a friend. You can go for coffee, watch football, see a movie, or go for a walk.
Step 5: Workout
While this may seem counter intuitive, working out during the holidays will both keep you in shape while people are eating their 2nd’s and it will boost your endorphin’s – this will make you feel instantly better. Look great, feel great, and hey – be great. Look sexy while you are doing it, and be proud of your single self.
Now armed with knowledge, you will feel prepared to go home and be with your family as a secure single person. Feel proud of who you are and flaunt your stuff – you’re not tied down and you are as free as a bird to do as you please.
Stay securely single this holiday season,
Danielle

If you haven’t already heard about the trend of singles dominating the relationship status queue, then you probably don’t know about Sologamy. This new trend is possibly the next glorified step of officially labeling yourself as a very securely single person. Not only are sologamists married to themselves, but they have an official commitment to fulfill their needs from the very basic levels of being a provider and up through to the more levels of the complex inner self.
We can define sologamy as one who marries themselves. This might seem like a strange concept at first, but in fact, many people are participating in this self-matrimony possibly to put a theoretical middle finger up to traditional marriage, or to find a deeper love and meaning for oneself. Those who marry themselves make a commitment to the long journey of love, understanding, and compassion for the self.
This may be a glorified ‘single status,’ but there is more to it. Marrying yourself and forgoing choosing a partner is a bold move.
Who Is Marrying Themselves
The demographics can be zeroed into a small niche group of people, though this may not be the ‘one size fits all’ label, our definition comes pretty close. The demographics range from feminists activists to millennials with student loan debt, and even middle aged 40-somethings who are set in their ways. Though this trend isn’t for everyone, there are some reasons why people marry themselves.
Why Would You Marry Yourself
There are many reasons why people marry themselves, but first, we may want to point out that as humans we are psychologically wired to need love. Love is one of the fundamental needs in order to live, and today we seem to be in short supply of love. Online internet dating sites make millions of dollars because if this need. By practicing self-love, we can fill our needs and become a very loving person. It can be difficult to find love when you are dating for marriage, you may be called out on ‘looking for love in all the wrong places.’ You don’t have to be a sologamist to love yourself, but self-love is practiced daily in sologamy.
You might also want to look at the student loan statistics for millennials. A person who graduates with a lot of student loan debt is more likely to be focused on developing their career and paying their debt off, rather than chasing family aspirations. Paying off your student loans would free a person in so many ways, financially, mentally, and emotionally. Debt is a terrible thing in itself. Millennials are psychologically putting off marriage to get a handle on their debt.
Sologamy can be fitting for entrepreneurs, workaholics, self-righteous feminists, and people with mental disorders. There are many reasons why sologamy seems to be the solution. You commit to yourself to love and care for yourself.
Arguments Against Sologamy
For those in favor of marriage, want kids and want to build a family, sologamy is not for them. Even in the worst cases of domestic violence, marrying for the wrong reasons, and putting off your life to care for a family, sologamy isn’t something that everyone chooses. Though if you are in a situation with a partner where you are in danger, you will need to call for help to get into a better situation.
Families can be a great source of love, and that is why when people get older they want to have families of their own as well. For people who have had a terrible upbringing, having a family of their own can seem like a disastrous idea.
How You Marry Yourself
Companies like iMarriedMe.com and Cera Travel of Kyoto, Japan are fully operating businesses that encourage people to marry themselves. If you live in Europe or the United States, you may want to note that sologamy is not recognized in Europe or the US as a legally binding union.
Benefits of Sologamy
One woman married herself at the age of 37 in a quiet ceremony of one near a waterfall in Big Sur, California. Here are some of the vows from her wedding ceremony, in case you may need the inspiration:
“I had prepared my “soul vows.” These vows were my deepest commitment to love, cherish, and deeply care for all parts of myself in sickness and in health, until my time on the planet comes to an end.
I vow to comfort myself during times of hopelessness, despair, depression, disillusionment, or any difficulty that arises.
I vow to be my Beloved always and in all ways.
I vow to never settle or abandon myself in romantic partnerships again.
I vow to live in the faith my life unfolds in mysterious divine perfection.
I vow to honor my spiritual path and create an amazing life whether I am ever legally married or not.
I vow to honor my calling and live my life as a work of art.
Some vows were tender and some fierce—some private, and some to be shared with the world.
Don’t bother with what others say, you do what you need to!
Sologamy
The marriage to oneself may not be for everyone, but you should keep in mind the reasons why people do commit to sologamy. Here’s a success story of one very happy woman. Stay secure my single friends.

Single People And Sex: Here’s What You Need To Know
Safe Sex
There used to be a lot of stigma about having sex outside of marriage, or at least having sex outside of a committed relationship. Fast forward to today, the majority of our traditional values are thrown out the window. Why do we have so much sex? Because it’s fun. But we still get judged for it, and because of that those of us that are having sex don’t talk about it. Many issues get swept under the carpet because sex is a very private and intimate act. Though, if you’re not having a lot of sex you should not be pressured to do so.
If you’re reading this right now, you’ve probably already been through Sex Ed – if not, click on this link asap.
If you are single and having casual sex with people, you need to use caution and protect yourself. Seriously, your body is truly a temple and you should take care of it. Here are some quick tips:
Use Birth Control
There are a lot of forms of birth control. Condoms being the most common. It’s awkward for a woman to pull out a condom, so men, please bring condoms with you on all your dates. For casual sex with random people, ALWAYS use a condom. You don’t want to get home from Cabo and have the itch. For women, get an IUD, or take birth control regularly. Most singles want to mingle – don’t tie up your resources and end up a single parent likely to have a fatherless or motherless child. Protect your future and be safe. Don’t have kids unless you really want them and are absolutely ready.
Get Checked for STDs
This should be pretty common knowledge. If you haven’t been checked in a while, head down to the local clinic or gynecologist to be safe. You don’t want to be spreading STD’s if you’ve got something, that would just make you a terrible human. If you’ve got something, take medicine and get that s*** taken care of. #Adulting
Check Your Mental Health
Sex is a very intimate act, and if you’ve had some bad experiences then you need to journal about it and seek professional advice. Having sex should be a joyful part of being human. Though when you are single and having a lot of casual sex, you can feel used. Make sure when you have sex you feel safe with the other person.
Benefits of Having Sex
Studies show that having sex more regularly improves your mood. A recent issue of Social Indicators Research produced an article by sociologist Tim Wadsworth stating that sex is a little like income, the more of it people have, the happier they tend to be. Wadsworth also found that people who have more sex tend to be happier.
Though don’t worry if you’re not having sex, masturbating is also an option. According to Women’s Health, studies shown there are many physical and mental positives to masturbating. The act lowers stress and anxiety and also improves self-esteem and one’s body image.
The truth is everyone has a different sex life story. Some people have a lot of sex while other people have little to no sex. Don’t feel you aren’t up to par or compare yourself with others. The best thing to do is go at your own pace and feel comfortable with yourself when having (or not having) sex. For information on the sex lives of other people, check out these slides.
Now that you’re armed with knowledge, go have safe sex!

Spring is a time of rebirth. Plants begin to sprout and birth new life as the season begins from what were once dead shrubs. Being single can also be a start of a new beginning. A relationship may have just ended and you are now on break. The single life is a time to grow and mature as an individual before entering a relationship or to just work on yourself. As the first day of Spring brings a new season, here are five ways to spring into the single life.
Bloom
All flowers start as a seed before sprouting and finally blooming into a beautiful flower. The single life is no different. It is a time to grow and to get to know yourself better. It is also a time to prepare yourself for your potential mate. Just as the plant grew from a seedling, being single can be a time to grow as an adult and learn how to do life’s basic skills before starting to date or getting married.
Shine as a Single
The single life is often thought of as being lesser than the married life. It is not. The single time of your life is the time to shine as an individual and to enjoy all that the single life offers. It is also a time to think for yourself before a significant other enters the picture. Learn to view yourself positively and from this point forward reinforce that concept each day by telling yourself positive self-talk, a positive phrase that resonates with you. A plant needs sun to grow and the single life has its challenges so people need affirmative thoughts to live a better daily life.
Relax
Take some time off from your job and travel to a new destination this Spring. Can’t travel? Take time out of your day to do your favorite activity, take a nap at the park, or read a book by the lake. Make it a point to spend some much needed alone time to just relax to escape the business of life and any current problems that you may be experiencing in your life. Relax. Breathe. De-stress.
Grow as a Person
Life is meant to be enjoyed and the best way to enjoy life is to grow as a person. As a single, you have time to develop as a person that would be given to another person if you were in a relationship. Use your time as a single to grow intellectually, physically, and get to know yourself better as a person. The best way to grow is to challenge yourself by doing what is uncomfortable. Get out of your comfort zone and go to places alone as a single and do not worry about what others may think of you going out by yourself. Take risks in life instead of playing it safe.
Temperate
Spring is temperate season that follows the cold and harsh season of Winter. This season is characterized by mild temperatures. Similarly, as the season becomes more moderate, singles can work on self-control and discipline in different areas of life. Want to lose some weight to look great in a bikini this summer? Stick to a diet and exercise plan. Have problems connecting with people and making friends? Learn how to read body language and ask people questions when you talk to them and best sure to listen to their answers. Been meaning to clean up your apartment or fix that maintenance issue? Stop procrastinating and prepare a time during the week where you will do what you have been putting off. Take the time to control yourself and to monitor your time better as a single this Spring.

Divorce is a difficult experience to go through; but if you are recently divorced, you are not alone. The divorce rate in the United States, and other developed countries, is around 50% with people in their early twenties having the highest rate of divorce. Divorce is more common than people may realize in a society that wants couples to date and to get married. Since you are single again, here are three ways to move on after a divorce and to improve your own life as a new single.
Mental Survivor
The women that move on successfully don’t make being a divorcee their identity. They are able to move on. They are able to recognize that whatever their partner did that led to divorce was the cause of the divorce. This creates the mental freedom to know that you are a not a victim. Set an expiration date for feeling sorry for yourself and being the victim, then move forward with a strong and clear mental mindset.
Mantra, “I cannot change my ex. I can only change me.”
Repeat this mantra whenever you ex acts or says something unpleasant towards you or your children. This is especially true when it comes to custody battles over children. Control your inner self and let that control be displayed on the outside while dealing with the complexities and issues following a divorce.
Learn to Love Yourself
This is one of the most difficult things to learn and to accept in life. You know all your flaws. You know all your struggles. You know all your issues. Despite that, it is important to examine yourself and to learn to appreciate yourself for all your successes. Focus on your life goals, not your ex. Determine your priorities, instead of focusing on your problems. Learn to love yourself and figure out what is meaningful to you in your own life. Divorce is an opportunity for you to further mature, to grow, and to know oneself. Take advantage of this new chance that divorce has given to you.

Popular culture presents being single in a negative light. Singles are pressured to date, marry, and find their soulmate. There are no soulmates. Yet, society tells singles that they cannot be happy until they are in a romantic relationship.
There are many reasons to enjoy being single. This is an incomplete list. Here are five reasons why being single is awesome!
Five Reasons Why Being Single Is Awesome
Focus On Yourself
You can begin to focus on yourself. You must know yourself before you can start to reach your goals. You will likely struggle to reach your goals if you do not know your strengths and weaknesses.
Once you know your strengths, you can learn your likes and dislikes. The things that you enjoy doing will help you.
You can then start to pursue your passion. What you obsess over will often overlap with your strengths.
You can then find a way to monetize your strengths, interests, and what you are passionate about. That is the perfect combination.
Solo Travel
You have the freedom to travel solo anytime you want. It could be simply visiting the nearest nearby town or city. You could plan a trip to see a nearby state. Or, you could rent or buy an RV to see your entire country.
You could also travel solo abroad. What countries have you always wanted to visit? Make a list. Make it one of your goals to see some of those countries before you die.
Traveling alone can help you develop confidence. You may spend the entire trip by yourself. Or, you could spend the trip traveling with a group.
Focus On Your Health
You can focus on your health. Health plays a vital role in your everyday life. Your health affects your productivity.
You can improve your physical health by regularly exercising, going to the gym, getting Vitamin D from the sun, and following a diet. These are some basic things that can help you to feel better about yourself. It takes time to lose weight and to follow a diet consistently. You will feel and look better when you do. Improving your health can positively affect your mental health.
Self-Love
You can practice self-love. There is nothing wrong with learning to love oneself. If you do not like who you are, you will most likely not enjoy life. This is because you will end up doing things that you hate. It may be a job. It may be hanging out with fake and negative people.
You can start to love yourself for the unique person you are. You have innate value as an individual. Once you start to live out self-love in your life, you can begin to develop self-confidence and experience happiness in your life.
You do not need a significant other to be happy. Your happiness does not come from other people. You are responsible for your own satisfaction.
Learning to love yourself, despite your flaws, is one way to live a happier life.
Financial Life In Order
You can work to get your financial life in order. You can learn to follow a budget. You can start to build an emergency fund. You can think long-term and save money for retirement. You can invest in the stock market.
