Take yourself out to eat, grabbing a table for one at your favorite restaurant. See a new movie by yourself, getting a popcorn bucket just for you. Roam around an art museum on a self-guided tour.
Draw a bubble bath after a long day at work and soak in a bath by candlelight to unwind. Buy your favorite pint of ice cream and pop in a good movie for a cozy night in. Go to bed early and turn off that alarm to give your body some rest.
Go to a bookstore and pick up a new book. Try a long-term craft project like crocheting, painting, or diamond painting. Sign up for a fitness or dance class you’ve never tried before.
Create a vision board that’ll help you manifest your dreams. Roam around a local craft store and pick up whatever catches your eye. Start a journal and write your thoughts in the form of poems, doodles, or prose.

Take yourself on a walk around the block. Hike a local trail to a peaceful picnic spot. Throw yourself a dance party while you cook dinner.
Try your best to stick to your new routine. Consistency can help you feel fulfilled and give you a sense of peace. Keep a calendar of your new schedule to help you stay on track. There’s no need to jam-pack your schedule right away! Take things slowly, adding on a new activity when it feels right.
Block out a time in the day to go on social media. If you start to feel down while scrolling through other people’s posts, log off for the day. You and your life are amazing no matter your relationship status, so try not to compare yourself to others.
When you look at this pie chart, think of how you want to show up to each of these values rather than what you want in them.
