Fun Things To Do Solo

You don’t have to be single to explore life alone. Whether you are single or in a relationship, doing things on your own can be quite liberating. I remember being scared to death to do anything by myself. I always wanted someone by my side, like my best friend or my boyfriend. I allowed the fear of being alone to stop me from living my life. Once I realized my fear, I decided to make a change and began to live my life- instead of just existing in it.
Whether you face my same fear of exploring the world on your own, or you are just looking for fun things to do by yourself, here are my 10″fun-tivities” I like to do solo. Enjoy!!!
Happy Hour
Okay, going to a bar by yourself doesn’t sound like the first choice for a solo night, but choosing a happy hour at a local dive is a great way to meet new people! Find a happy hour near your place. Usually happy hour attracts locals like that cute guy that lives in the apartment across from you!
Grab A Cup:
Enjoy some R & R with a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine at a cafe near you. Bring that book you have been meaning to start, and let your mind get lost with each sip and flip of the page.
Go To A Museum:
Museums often get a bad wrap for being boring, which is unfortunate because they are filled with history and a wealth of knowledge. Find a Museum or an exhibit near you and let your mind escape into a world unknown.
Explore Your Town:
Spend an afternoon exploring your own neighborhood. You will discover things you have never noticed before because you were rushing to work or over to a friend’s house. You may find secret gems like a hidden row of fun restaurants, adorable boutiques, and that affordable dry cleaner!
Local Concert:
The thought of going to a concert alone can be daunting at first, but see who is playing at your local bar, restaurant, or smaller concert venue and just go. This is a great way to meet new people and hear new music.
Try A Class:
Whether it’s a workout class, a cooking class, or a painting class, finally try that hobby you’ve been talking about but never had the “time” for.
Bake Something:
Get your mind off of you and onto those cupcakes! Scared you will eat them all (GUILTY)? Just bring them into work to share with your co-workers! Your coworkers will thank you and it’s a great way to open up communication with that cute guy that works two desks over!
Go To The Gym:
Whether going to the gym is something you already do alone, or you do with a friend, try a new class or workout by yourself. You’ll be free of any distractions and you might make a new friend or two along the way.
Travel:
Go on an adventure. Yes this might sound cliché, but who cares! Whether you can break away for a night or the weekend, go explore somewhere and something new!
DIY Something For Your Place:
Love that painting, but it is too expensive? Make it for half the price by DYI’ing it for your place! Nothing beats the feeling of looking at your finished product and knowing you did it yourself! Open a bottle of wine, turn on your music, and let your creative juices flow. There is no one around to judge you!
