I’m deciding to embark on a journey of getting to know myself better and embracing being by myself. But a lot of self dating guides didn’t quite satisfy what I was looking for, so I decided to write my own 30 days of self dates. I wanted to share this with you incase you to would like to give it a go. You dont need to do it order, but you can, or you can draw numbers out of a jar or just do whichever you feel you would like to do taht day. This is your journey so you may do it however you think is best.

I would encourage you throughout this process to journal about your experience with each thing. DId you like it? What emotions did you feel? Did you learn something new about yourself? Etc.

1.) Set up a spa day for yourself, paper yourself, facemask, foot soak, bath whatever a nice relaxing evening looks like to you.

2.) Have a paint party, put on some music and paint (or some other art form if you would prefer)

3.) Make a jar filled with all the wonderful things about yourself. Don’t worry about being humble, do it from the outside looking in. You can put big things or little things, but don’t let the self doubt creep in, if you think it, write it down.

4.) Have a movie night, snuggled up, your favorite snacks, the works.

5.) List everything in your life you are grateful for. Nothing is too small.
