Dear Singles,

Christmas is approaching. I know it’s not an easy time for many people. Another year “alone”, without a partner, perhaps newly separated or even widowed.

Don’t just “make the most of it”, try to enjoy it (at least) a little. After all, you don’t have to make any compromises. In times of Corona, many singles even celebrate alone. The good news? Make yourself comfortable, decorate according to your taste, cook your favorite dishes and treat yourself. Above all, give yourself lots of self-care and understanding. Pack away all feelings of inadequacy and guilt tonight. If you are feeling particularly sad, arrange to chat online/phone with (like-minded) friends.

Nurture your relationship with yourself, do what is good for you: sport, forest bathing or simply bathing, listening to music, dreaming.

Write down everything you are grateful and humble for in a “gratitude diary”, use the crisis as an opportunity: think about what your dream partner should be like and how you could become a dream partner?

And 356 days later, the world can be a completely different place.

Merry single bells and lots of self-acceptance!
