Day 25: Take yourself out for lunch!

I have this tradition with a few of my friends from primary school. Over the years, our paths have taken us in different directions, but we decided to keep at least one tradition - having dinner together whenever we can. Then we would catch up and spend quality time together enjoying a nice meal. 

But how much time do you actually spend alone with yourself? The relationship with yourself is actually the most important one. If we take time and effort to keep our friendships alive why don't we invest in the relationship with ourselves? It is important to treat and love yourself because you will be a happier and more content person. Therefore it will come naturally to treat other better and simply feel great! There are many ways to treat yourself, and this is just one of them. I will definitely post more on this topic in the following posts! :) Sometimes we think people would consider us weird if we sat alone in a restaurant and just eat alone, or they would look down on us. Not sure how men feel about eating alone, but in some people's eyes a single woman sitting alone can seem lonely...but only if you allow it! The thing is, if you can't be alone with yourself, how can anyone be alone with you? You should love your company and enjoy it! Go to your favorite restaurant and order your favorite meal or simply discover a new place and try something new! Either way, enjoy your meal. You can take a book with you and read while you wait for your meal, or simply enjoy sitting by yourself, observing people and sipping your favorite drink. Try that special dish you never dared to order, order the biggest desert, or treat yourself with a nice cocktail or good quality wine. 

It's YOUR day so enjoy it! :)

Let me know how it went! Where did you go, what did you have, how did you feel? Was it weird or did you feel comfortable?
