Remembering that the grass is always greener on the other side with the help of an Instagram filter is important to your well-being and self-esteem. Celebrating what you have during the Thanksgiving season is what it’s all about – giving thanks and appreciating loved ones and life, including what you don’t have. Trusting divine timing and believing that a relationship status does not define one’s worth is freeing.

Singles enjoy flexibility, fewer restrictions, and expectations. Saving money on gifts and total control over the remote is refreshing. You’re presented with opportunities to create your own traditions, shamelessly flirt, and enjoy quality time with yourself.

Volunteering in your community, feeding the hungry, and supporting others less fortunate are all ways to remove the focus from yourself this holiday season, making someone else’s season bright. Decline invites to houses, parties, and dinners that will make you feel uncomfortable. Take yourself out on a date, instead. Turn off your phone, so you’re focused on enjoying your own company. It’s OK to be selfish some time this season.
