The Do It Yourself List

Do It Yourself!

We all are living this crazy fast lives, where each one of wants to grow up and get to business. Not being in sync with oneself results in failed careers and more importantly failed relationships. Therefore before you are ready to welcome someone in your life(again!) do these following things all by yourself. They will give you an opportunity to realize many things about yourself and help you introspect. Go ahead, give it a read! :)  

Prepare a Meal, Just for Yourself!

Pick up the craziest meticulous recipe from a cookbook or the internet and explore your cooking skills. It could be a 3 course meal with wine or just a chicken cheese burger. Cherry on the top is that you don’t even have to share it with anyone and you can enjoy it to its last bite sitting on your couch, without pants! Who cares? :P

Explore a new place.

Head for a place you have never been to and prefer a place where even the local language is alien to you. Stepping out of your home, all by yourself will make you feel powerful. The thrill and experience of getting lost and walk around in circles. Knowing that you can get lost and then find your way back home is extremely validating than finding directions on Google Maps.

Sleep naked.

Before you meet your Mr. /Ms. Right, sneak up in your bed wearing nothing!! :D You will sleep better and will make you feel sensual almost instantly. Great way to be one with yourself. Imagine taking it all off to sleep it off! *SIGH*

Stay in Bed, Eat in Bed.

Let’s not confuse ourselves with lazing in your bed all day with lying there wallowing in self-pity. Great way to recharge your mind, body and soul. Also, you can skip your all protein diet one day and take a guilt trip to eating chocolate cakes, French fries or extra cheese pizza washed down with a big glass of icy cold cola.

Making your own touch perfect!!

Let’s get one thing straight: There is nothing more important than the relationship you have with yourself. Learning how you want things done — and how to do them right — not only makes you a better partner and lover, but it puts you more in tune with your own physical needs. And let’s be honest, nine times out of 10, it’s just more fun to take care of business on your own.

Buy something EXPENSIVE!

Save your money and buy something expensive, have ownership over something. Buy a new car, a house, a pet or just extremely expensive pair of shoes. Having the ownership right over something, no matter what, is an automatic visa into adulthood.

Go on a dinner date, ALONE.

Ever see those people dining by themselves and wonder if they feel lonely or sad? Here’s a tip: They don’t. If you’re not totally sold on the idea of dining by your lonesome (which isn’t the same as dining by your lonely), bring along a book, a magazine or a Sudoku puzzle that you’re working on. 

Stare at yourself naked.

We all are born equal. Earth is same to all mankind in general. Accept your body the way it is, it’s a maze of beauty, curves and folds. Look at your stark body and fall in love with the way you are shaped. Appreciate yourself before you give away the chance to someone else.

Pay your own bills.

Take care of your own funds before you manage someone else’s budget. Paying your own bills may sound not so good at first but being on top of it always is rewarding in its own way. Doing so you know that all your payments are made and now you can make a budget to fulfill your other needs. Learn to keep your spending in line before you have someone else in your life. This helps you save and keep you both from overspending. 

Wake up and watch the sunrise

Wake up early one morning and witness the sunrise. Sunrise signifies a new day, a new beginning, an opportunity to do things in different way, and it reaffirms that you are still alive. It’s a reminder that you are good, you are whole and, most importantly, and that you are here.

In moments like these, being alone isn’t just everything. It’s the only thing. And it’s beautiful.
