activities you can do solo

pursuits can help mothers find time for yourself, promoting personal growth, self-care, and a deeper understanding of your own needs and desires

EXPLORE NATURE: Go for a hike, bike ride, or nature walk in a nearby park or trail. Enjoy the serenity and beauty of the outdoors.

START A HOBBY: Dive into something you've always wanted to try, like learning to play the piano, picking up a new language, refurbishing furniture, painting, gardening, or crafting. Allow yourself the freedom to express your thoughts and emotions. 

ATTEND A WORKSHOP OR CLASS: Sign up for a culinary adventure, dance lessons, or a photography course to learn new skills and meet new people. Focus on personal development, skill-building, or a new interest, fostering learning and growth.

TRAVEL: Plan a local or international trip just for you. Embrace the adventure and enjoy your own company. Take precautions and prepare to be out on your own.  

JOIN A FITNESS PROGRAM: Explore new exercise routines like yoga, Pilates, Zumba, a meditation session, or a new sport like kayaking, skiing, or marathoning. Cultivate mindfulness, enhance your well-being, and find your inner peace.

CONSIDER BRINGING A PET INTO YOUR LIFE: Have you ever dreamed of having a pet - whether it's a cat, dog, bird, hamster, or even a horse? Owning a pet can provide companionship, joy, and a sense of responsibility, making it a rewarding experience for you and your family. 

VOLUNTEER WORK: Is there a church, food bank, homeless shelter, farm, or a museum that you would like to spend time helping people and creating a positive impact?

EMBRACE STILLNESS: Take a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty around you. Find a quiet spot by the ocean, a river, or a scenic viewpoint to sit and soak in the sights. Watch the sunrise or sunset as the sky transforms with vibrant colors. Spend time gazing at the stars, allowing the vastness of the universe to inspire you. Listen to the soothing sounds of birds singing or the gentle lapping of water, giving yourself the gift of stillness and reflection. This time of tranquility can help rejuvenate your spirit and provide clarity amidst the busyness of life. 

EXPLORING DATING: How long do you think is a reasonable timeframe to focus on your own healing and personal growth before venturing into the dating world? Consider treating yourself to a solo date to discover what you love about yourself and what makes you happy. Whether you feel ready to explore dating apps or prefer to relax at your favorite coffee shop or hobby spot, take the time to see who might be available. This journey can help you build confidence and insight about what you truly desire in a partner and in your life moving forward. 

READ A GOOD BOOK OR WATCH A MOVIE: Dedicate time to reading books that inspire personal growth or ignite your curiosity, expanding your knowledge and perspectives. Are there books you want to learn from history, science, or is there a good book you want to immerse yourself into to experience a far-off place without traveling? OR perhaps you want to sit on the couch without your children and watch a movie you have not watched with your favorite snacks.  

DISCONNECT FROM TECHNOLOGY: Take a break from all technology - not just your phone, but also the TV and computers. Use this time to slow down, reflect, and assess your current situation. Consider where you are in your life and where you want to be. This intentional unplugging can help you gain clarity, foster mindfulness, and create space for personal growth. Cherish the opportunity to reconnect with yourself, your thoughts, and your aspirations without the distractions of the digital world. 

INDULGE IN A MIDDAY NAP: Have you ever treated yourself to a refreshing nap during the day? Taking a short break to rest can work wonders for your energy levels and overall well-being. Allow yourself to unwind, find a comfortable spot, and close your eyes for a bit. Even a brief nap can help you recharge, improve your mood, and enhance your focus for the rest of the day. Embrace this simple act of self-care and give yourself permission to pause and regenerate. 

PERSONAL RETREATS: Set aside a weekend or a day for a personal retreat at home or in a serene location. Create a spa-like experience with baths, skincare, and relaxing techniques, focusing on nurturing yourself.
