"Dating yourself" (Solo Date) is intentionally spending time with yourself.

1. Take yourself to eat your favorite things, do not wait for anyone to invite. Some meals just sit and eat quietly.

With myself, it's a lot lighter.

2. Take yourself to a good cafe.

Order a glass that wants to drink. Sit and look at the passerby and let weekdays become a break of mind.

3. Take yourself to the movies alone

Don't ask anyone what you want to see, just choose what you want to see and let yourself in with it.

4. Take yourself to a bookstore Sometimes picking up a book, reading a few pages, is like slowing down your mind.

5. Take yourself for a walk in no hurry, no need for a clear destination, just walk to feel that life still has space for us to breathe.

6. Take yourself to buy flowers.

Don't wait for anyone to give it to us, sometimes the little flowers from their own hands are gentle enough.

7. Take yourself to dessert. Very tired days. A piece of cake or a cup of ice cream may not solve every problem, but it softens the heart.

8. Take yourself to sit quietly by the water, some answers do not come in chaos, but come when we have sat still and actually listened to ourselves.

9. Take yourself to exercise moving the body alone. Not only take care of the buoy, but it is to tell yourself that we are still important.

10. Take yourself to cut your hair or take care of yourself, sometimes just take care of your face, clothes or hairstyle.

Makes us feel back to own our lives again

11. Take yourself to try something new, learn to make snacks, draw pictures, mold clay, or do something that has never been done, so that life is not always attached to the same pattern.

12. Take yourself to a conscious shop, buy small things that are needed or kinder, without spending money to drown out loneliness until trouble in the back.

13. Take yourself to take a picture, don't wait for anyone to take it, just keep the moment when you still have a smile.

14. Putting yourself to nature, trees, wind, sunshine, and silence may help organize our hearts better than plowing mobile all day.

15. Take yourself to rest from a lot of people.

Some days we're not bored with people, but just want a small space that doesn't have to answer questions or explain ourselves to anyone.

16. Take yourself to write a record.

Write what you're tired of, what you're happy about, or what you want to change, because sometimes our hearts need our own listeners.

17. Take yourself to bed enough. Solo Dates doesn't have to leave the house at all. Just mute the world. Take a shower. A good bed is love for yourself.

18. Bring yourself to be happy without feeling guilty. We don't have to wait for someone to come before to allow ourselves to have a good day.

... Read moreการเลือกใช้เวลาร่วมกับตัวเอง หรือที่เรียกว่า "เดทกับตัวเอง" เป็นการให้โอกาสตัวเองได้พักผ่อน เติมเต็มใจ และค้นหาความสุขในแบบที่เราเป็นโดยไม่ต้องพึ่งพาคนอื่น ตัวเองเคยลองจัดเวลาวันหนึ่งให้เป็น "วันของฉัน" ซึ่งทำให้รู้สึกใจฟูและสงบมากขึ้น หลังจากที่ใช้เวลากับตัวเองตามไอเดียเหมือนในบทความ เช่น การพาตัวเองไปนั่งร้านกาแฟที่ชอบ สั่งเมนูโปรด แล้วแค่มองผู้คนและฟังเสียงรอบตัวราวกับเวลาหยุดพัก เพียงแค่นี้ก็ช่วยปล่อยใจให้ปลอดโปร่งขึ้นได้มาก อีกกิจกรรมที่ผมชอบคือการเดินเล่นแบบไม่รีบ ไม่ต้องมีจุดหมาย เหมือนบทความแนะนำ ช่วงเวลานี้ทำให้รู้สึกเหมือนได้หายใจลึก ๆ กับชีวิตจริง ๆ และลืมความวุ่นวายไปชั่วขณะ การที่บทความแนะนำนำให้พาตัวเองไปนั่งเงียบ ๆ ริมน้ำ หรืออยู่กับธรรมชาติ คือหาวิธีพักผ่อนใจที่ดีจริง ๆ เพราะตัวเองพบว่าบางครั้งเสียงธรรมชาติและลมพัด ก็สามารถช่วยจัดระเบียบความคิดและความรู้สึกในหัวใจเราลงได้ดีกว่าการเล่นมือถือไม่หยุด นอกจากนี้ การลองทำสิ่งใหม่ ๆ เช่น เรียนทำขนม วาดรูป หรือปั้นดิน ยังช่วยเติมสีสันให้ชีวิตและลดความเครียดได้อย่างมาก ช่วยเปิดโอกาสให้เราได้ค้นพบความสนใจหรือความสามารถใหม่ ๆ ซึ่งบางทีอาจจะเป็นแรงบันดาลใจในชีวิตประจำวัน สิ่งสำคัญที่ได้เรียนรู้จากการ "เดทกับตัวเอง" ก็คือการให้ความสำคัญกับตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง และยอมรับว่าเราสมควรได้รับความรักและการดูแลใจเหมือนกับการดูแลคนอื่นให้ดีที่สุด เพราะฉะนั้นไม่ต้องรอใครมาพาไปไหนหรือทำอะไรร่วมกัน เราก็สามารถสร้างวันดี ๆ ให้ตัวเองได้ด้วยความตั้งใจและความรักตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง
