I'm talking about a day or evening that you have planned for yourself, out of the house, which may include dinner or lunch alone in a restaurant (which I know can be hard for some) a movie, maybe drinks at the bar, or anything that feels fun for you. This past Sunday was the first time in a while that I took myself on a date. I spent the morning shopping, took myself to brunch, had great conversation with the girls at the table next to me. Then I took myself to a movie had a few drinks and apps at the bar and chatted a bit with some people from out of town. While I am typically a very social person there is something about going out alone, enjoying a nice meal by myself, maybe meeting new people at the bar and simply reconnecting to the person I was before I got married and had so many responsibilities that feels refreshing. I remember a time when I would not be comfortable at all spending time alone and always needed to be surrounded by others. This was a great reminder of how far I have come and how learning to enjoy your own company is a form of self love. How about you? Do you date yourself? What does your date night look like?
