This article in the love jungle is not encouraging one in a relationship to breakup. It’s just explaining the good about single life.
Being single isn’t always as simple as it sounds especially when movies and television shows seem to push the concept that one isn’t truly “complete” until you’ve found a soulmate.
People’s single lives are often portrayed as a sort of purgatory they are forced to endure until they find their soul mates.
So there is a myth that single people are ought to be unhappy. In this article we beg to differ and there are some reasons your single friend may be happier than one may think.
1. Free mind
Believe it or not, relationships are ‘mentally’ expensive. Intimacy and partnership takes up a lot of space in our heads. Even though much of this is happening unconsciously, there’s simply a lesser capacity for individually focused thought.
The time people in relationships inevitably spend worrying about their partners and, at times, ruminating on even the smallest quarrels, can be called “the price of love.” This sort of stress can inhibit people’s happiness by keeping them from living but rather exist.
The emotional discomfort is all consuming especially if the couple had a fight. Being single is an act of staying free of the clutter and making room for new thoughts and dreams to breathe and grow.
2. Openness
single people can make people more willing to roll with whatever comes there way. It’s almost like they have no choice.
When one is alone they have to be more self-sufficient. Free from the constraints of having a partner, people’s lives suddenly become totally and completely their own. There’s nobody hindering you from setting out to chase your ambitions. One is more likely to take risks and have adventures and have more novelty within your journey.
3. Self love
People say a lot of times, when they’re in relationships, that they’ve lost themselves, that’s largely because we stop doing things independently. People risk losing touch with themselves because they have less time alone to focus on their own personal development. When you’re alone, it creates opportunity for being more in touch with something inside of you and what makes you happy.
4. You can figure out yourself
Being single as your chance to figure out your own personal “mission statement.” In this situation it is the critical time to figure out who you are and what you stand for.
When one is not in a relationship we really have some time to get clear about what matters to us and what we value.
Being single is the perfect time to reassess who you are and where you want to be in life. What changes do you want to make? What classes, associations, or new attitudes would you like to develop? You now have the time and the ability to focus on the one consistent factor that will create.
5. You learn to enjoy yourself
Being single doesn’t necessarily need mean being lonely. Infact, you can actually gain an appreciation for time alone.
It’s liberating to discover that we can enjoy our own company. Being content in our own company frees us from the need to chase others
6. You become financially aware.
One of the pros people often attribute to relationships is the ability for both partners to share responsibilities and financial burdens. But being single can actually incentivize you to be more frugal and financially independent.
Sometimes when you’re single and don’t share expenses with someone else, you push yourself to advance and to be resourceful because you’re not relying on someone else to cover your expenses.
