5 Ways To Be Happy Single (Part 3)

Health and positive relationships.

This is the next part in a series of six posts on ways to be happy single.

Community

You can also find ways to get involved in your community. Community is not as fixed as friendship or family because what community means and looks like depends on each individual. For some, it may mean making some casual friends out at their favorite bar, and for others, volunteering for political campaigns or a non-profit organization and spending time at the park or gym. An individual is responsible for finding, building, and choosing their community. It is then up to them how much they want to be involved or dedicate to it.

Negative Relationships

While there are positive relationships, you can also have negative relationships with people. Here are two types of negative relationships to be aware of.

Toxic People

Toxic people can be friends, family, coworkers, or people who make you feel bad about yourself. Examples of toxic people include narcissists, drama kings or queens, and people who think they are always right. It is essential to identify toxic people. You want to remove them from your life. They hold you back.

Superficial Friends

While friends are good, you need to be aware of superficial friends. Superficial friends are shallow people. They do not add any value to your life. You find yourself going out to a bar or restaurant with them only to discover yourself repeatedly having the same conversation. It gets boring. It is also a waste of time and money to stay friends with a superficial person. Superficial friends may not necessarily be toxic, but they are time wasters. Like toxic people, you may want to consider ending your superficial friendships.

Health

One of the ways that you can begin to feel better about yourself is to focus on your health. Here are three main ways to focus on your health.

Diet

A healthy diet is vital in helping you feel and look your best. A balanced diet helps to give your body the fuel it needs to work effectively. You will be more susceptible to illnesses if you don’t consume a well-balanced diet. There are many popular diets that you can choose from depending on your lifestyle and dietary restrictions. Here are some popular diets: carnivore, vegan, vegetarian, Keto, and Mediterranean diet.

Exercise

Along with following a healthy diet, exercising regularly is also essential. Exercise helps you to lose weight, get the blood flowing in your body, and makes you feel better. Some ways to get exercise are to go for daily walks, ride a bike instead of driving, go on a hike, or go to the gym.
