Habits can change your life. Habits can also rune your life. There are good and bad life habits. Good habits are essential because they help you to improve your daily life. These are twelve life-changing habits happily single people do every day.
Autonomy
Autonomy is one of four single life values. When you are happily single, you unleash freedom. You are free to do what you want and when you want. You don’t have to worry about negotiating or updating a significant other about where you are or if you will be back late. You are free, independent, and responsible for you!
Singles Get What They Need
You know your needs better than anyone else. You can focus on your needs. Singles can focus on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to identify needs and identify the requirements they need to develop. The primary needs are security, comfort, leisure, love, respect, and purpose.
Security
Security is an essential human need because you are afraid, defensive, and fearful when you are not secure. As a Secure Single, you should not be frightened or defensive about being single because you can thrive as a single person in a world that idolizes romantic relationships.
Comfort
Comfort comes after you achieve security. There are a few different types of comfort: physical, emotional, and financial. Once you have personal security and comfort, you can begin to focus on leisure. You can make time to focus on yourself with relaxation so that you can recharge to perform at your best. Comfort comes in three primary forms: emotional, physical, and financial. Emotional comfort is being comfortable with your own emotions. Physical emotion is being comfortable with who you are and where you are so that you have no stress that affects your mood. Financial comfort is being able to have the money needed to survive to meet basic needs. Financial comfort can go further by having the money to live your desired lifestyle.
Love
After you have the first three foundations, you can focus on love. Love does not mean romantic love. There are two primary types of love: self-love and love of others. You must first be able to love yourself before you can start to love others. Once you fully love yourself, then you can work to achieve your full life potential. Love for others does not require a romantic relationship. A love for others is being able to focus on developing long-term and meaningful relationships with connections, friends, and family.
Respect
Respect is a basic human need. You, and others, recognize your unique achievements and qualities. Self-respect is a strong motivator that you can draw from when you face a challenge because you have self-respect and know your strengths and skills.
Life Purpose
Once you have established your foundational needs, you can focus on your life purpose. A life purpose gives you something to work towards while providing life direction. When you have a life purpose, you can achieve the highest-level need for self-actualization.
Don’t Wait
Singles can do what they want to do without having to wait for others to permit us. You can run errands when you need to. You can explore where you live, hike, or plan a solo travel trip. Go to your favorite restaurant, plays, museums, movies, or stay home reading a book. You don’t have to wait for the permission of a significant other because you are free to come and go as you please. Do as you please because you don’t have a ball and chain.
Do what makes you happy
One of the most important things that you can learn to do what makes you happy. When you know what makes you happy, find ways to fuel that fire even if people tell you not to do it. You are not afraid to treat yourself. Happiness can increase by expressing gratitude, exercise, a healthy diet, meditating, sleep, and spending time outside. Don’t be afraid to do the things that make you happy. A happy life is a healthy life.
Serenity
Peace. Calm. Serenity. It is vital to take a break from the chaos that comes from life. You go on walks, have a massage, meditate, and go outside to enjoy serenity between life’s storms. As a single, you find the time to take the necessary breaks from everyday life pressures.
