As romantic as winter walks and cosying up by the fire may be, Christmas doesn’t only serve those coupled up. In fact, as dating app Badoo has found, plenty of singles are finding joy in a solo festive season.
Unsurprisingly, Sleighing Season is all about staying true to yourself and finding fulfilment outside of a romantic relationship. That means maintaining healthy boundaries, finding the joy of single life and absolutely no messaging old flames who aren’t right for you, just to fill a void over the festive break.How to embrace Sleighing Season this Christmas“When we feel lonely, especially during times like Christmas, texting an ex can feel very tempting.
“Take yourself out on some fabulous dates; go to places that you’ve always wanted to visit. Learn to feel comfortable in your own skin and in your own company. Remember, it’s an empowering thing to feel comfortable by yourself, and is in fact very important before heading into any relationship. Being with someone just for the sake of being with someone, and particularly for the sake of being with someone over Christmas, may make you feel lonelier in the long run.
“Try to see being single as a choice; make it an empowered decision, keep working on yourself, growing and developing your emotional and physical self,” adds Mansfield. “This means that you are showing up as the best person you can be, and are much more likely to attract an available, loving, fabulous partner who can meet your needs. It has to start with you.”And lastly, don’t overthink things.
