Whether you’re looking for ideas for self care post break up or for a glow up, we’ve come up with the top ideas on where to go. It’s your time to have an Eat pray Love moment.

1. Go on a date with yourself

Cinema date

Here’s some ideas for self care, why don’t you go to the cinema and watch what you want to watch? Even if it’s a movie as cringe as Cats 2019 (let’s erase that from our memories). There’s just too much fun to be had by going to the movies by yourself. You get to go whenever you want to go, sit wherever you want to sit, enjoy the movie without distractions, and leave as soon as the movie is over, with no one to stop you.

Theatre

Some people may think it’s weird going to the theatre alone but it’s actually great, you get to focus more on the story and characters on stage. Take in your surrounding, While coming early to your seat might offer you the opportunity to observe an empty set, theatres are stunning in their own right. While a show’s design may be excellent, the structures that these stages are housed in are breathtaking. And after the play, you have a plethora of choices to eat at, why not try a cuisine you’ve never tried before.

Go to a new restaurant

Be like Julia Roberts in Eat pray Love, go to a restaurant you’ve never been to before and experiment with new flavours. Make a bucket list of food/cuisine you’ve always wanted to try and go on a solo date once a month or whenever you can make time. Every young lady should try eating out alone at least once in her life. It’s been a blessing to get comfortable with it, and it’s made us stronger in other potentially difficult circumstances. So, the next time you request a table for one, remember that you’ll be fine by yourself.

2. Body and Mind Care

Meditation
