Take Yourself On Dates

After I got back from the Navy I got a job with an Amazon DSP. I love my job, the money, and I love working by myself even more. Some days are just rough and I'm happy for my break. I think we should normalize taking ourselves out on a date to relax.

I got kani salad, 2 orders of sushi (philly roll and lava roll), 1 order of salmon sashimi, the salad for the dressing, panang curry, and shumai. It was the only meal I had and I was having cramps related to my PCOS I'm glad it waited until my day off. Spent the rest of my day on a heating pad.

Taking yourself on dates is more than just a fun activity—it’s a powerful form of self-care that many overlook. After my time in the Navy and starting a new job with an Amazon DSP, I realized how important it is to carve out moments just for me. Solo dates allow you to slow down, enjoy your own company, and decompress from life’s stresses. For example, treating myself to a sushi feast, including kani salad, salmon sashimi, and panang curry, turned into a special experience that not only satisfied my cravings but also nurtured my body, especially when dealing with health challenges like PCOS-related cramps. Pairing good food with rest—spending time on a heating pad and relaxing in a hot bath—enhanced the overall feeling of recovery and comfort. I’ve found that normalizing these solo outings encourages a deeper connection with yourself without relying on others. Whether it’s dining at your favorite restaurant, watching a movie, or simply taking a peaceful walk, these moments can renew your spirit and improve your mental clarity. It also builds confidence and reinforces that your own company is valuable. Incorporating hashtags like #selfcare and #restandrecovery reminds us that self-kindness is essential. So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider planning a date with yourself. You deserve that time, attention, and love just as much as anyone else.
