Hey #TheJoshCast fam, There is no doubt that being in a relationship is an amazing experience. The intimate cuddles, the emotional attachment, and the feeling of excitement of being together are just a few of the things that people can experience as a couple. Everybody who is in a relationship or who has been in a relationship knows the various benefits of having a significant person in their life with whom they share romantic feelings. These benefits of being in a relationship, however, highlight the drawbacks of being single. Unfortunately, some people tend to focus on those drawbacks and see singleness as something to get rid of. This can be the reason why some people who have been in a relationship want to find a partner again after break-ups, and why some who never been in a relationship are eager to be in one. The butterflies and sparks of relationships make some people focus on the “loneliness” aspect of being single. At some point, singleness may bring the feeling of loneliness and dullness, but it is not always the case. If you are tired of being single and you can not still find yourself in a relationship, you may want to consider looking at singleness the other way around. This article will talk about three ways that one can do to make the most out of their singleness. Before going through the list, you must know that the golden rule of being a happy single is loving yourself! As social creatures, people do not exist for romantic relationships alone. You also have relationships with other people around you such as friendships and your family relationship. While you are single and free from romantic commitments, make more time to bond and have fun with other people around your circle. Go on a road trip with your friends, have a movie night with your family or go to karaoke with your colleagues. In everyday life, you can celebrate small or big wins with them, appreciate their efforts more often, show your gratitude and do them some favor.

Whether you like it or not, your time and attention for other people around you will decrease once you are a part of a couple. Spending more time with other people, especially with your family and closest friends, create stronger and lasting relationships. Aside from spending time with other people, make sure to also spend time for yourself. Whether we are in a relationship or not, we sometimes end up forgetting about self-care due to a lot of responsibilities in front of us. While you are single, take the time and opportunity to pamper yourself more. Go out and see your favorite movie, receive a relaxing massage from a spa shop, get a makeover, eat from your favorite restaurant, buy and wear outfits that best represents you, buy the things that you always want to purchase, travel to your dream destination, etc. Yes, you deserve all these things. Can not an individual do these things while in a relationship? They can, but most relationships can cause limitations. Some relationships can hinder us from doing things that can make us happy aside from the things that we can do as a pair. Being in a relationship is a way different story, you can do things that you can not do alone. However, we are more autonomous while we are single than while we are part of a pair. Your partner may not prefer your favorite movie genre or your dream destination, among other things. Financial constraints can also be one of the reasons that hinder some people from spending for themselves.

Why is it important to create other relationships stronger? You can look at it as a lifetime investment. Not all romantic relationships last, that is the truth. Another truth, your relationships with your friends and family do. In singleness or not, you can always count on with people whom you created strong bonds with.
