As a brand that deals with all thing love here at Uplanit, we understand how being single is important. It gives you a chance to get to know yourself. To love yourself and much more. This could be important in helping you choose the right soulmate for you. So, this National Singles Day, how about taking time to reflect?
Are you curious about how National Singles Day started and who started it? Well, we were too, and so we did some research. Here’s a bit about the history and the significance of this day. We’ve also added some important activities that you can use to celebrate National Singles Day.
History of National Singles Day
There are many types of Single’s Days around the world. China has its Single’s Day on November 11. In the UK, Single’s Day is on March 11. For this history, however, we’ll discuss National Single’s Day in the US.
In the 1980s, the Buckeyes Council of Ohio chose to celebrate a week known as National Singles Week. The goal was to recognize the contributions of singles to society and celebrate life as a single. This idea then spread far and wide in the US, with September 24 being remembered as single’s day. On this day, most of the original Single’s Week activities are celebrated.
National Single’s Day is about living successfully and appreciating yourself while single. So, will you be doing any special on September 24 this year? Here are some enjoyable activities that you can use to commemorate the day.
Send Single Day Cards
You can use websites like canva.com to design beautiful cards celebrating being single. How about trying your hand at this and sharing some with your single friends? Websites like Etsy could also have some lovely e-cards that you could customise, download and share.
Have A Singles Night Out
It’s time to channel that inner love, grab your single friends, and hit the streets. You could first head to the mall for fabulous outfits before heading to the club to party. Spending time with single friends can remind you that you still have a community that is loyal and there for you.
Splurge on A Longtime Want
Is there a perfume, coat, or dress you’ve been wanting for a really long time? How about getting it for yourself on National Singles Day? This is one day that you can choose to indulge your wants and spoil yourself. You deserve it!
Take A Solo Trip
If your finances can handle a trip for National Singles Day, it could be very worth it. Exploring a new city by yourself has its rewards. It doesn’t even have to be for more than a night or two. A solo trip will push you out of your comfort zone and send you on an adventure. Plus, you can decide what you want to do all by yourself for a change.
Kickback and Watch TV
It’s time to binge-watch that great TV series you’ve been putting off for a while. You can also watch late-night shows or even your favourite movie that you’ve seen a thousand times. It’s your day to do with as you please.
Schedule a Photoshoot
Photoshoots can do wonders for your self-esteem. So, on National Singles Day, how about having a makeover and then scheduling a photoshoot right after? Just ensure that you choose a good photographer so that you’ll love your results. Plus, you can use these pictures for an online dating profile if you decide to try again.
Delete Your Toxic Contact
It’s finally time to let go and face the future. National Single’s Day is the day to disconnect yourself from your past including those pesky ex’s. This should include your social media and even your google contacts, if possible. Delete, delete, delete.
Find A Social Interest
Go clubbing, visit the gym, go a farmer’s market or join a book club. The goal is to find an interest you enjoy and then meet new people through it. Connecting and interacting will be easier if you already have something in common.
Volunteer
Volunteering is one of the ways to experience true happiness and a sense of well-being. So how about helping out your local soup kitchen or animal shelter on National Singles Day? You could also donate some funds to groups that help people in need.
Spa Day
Treat yourself to a facial, manicure, and pedicure at a spa by turning your National Singles Day into a spa day. You could also schedule a massage to help you relax and enjoy the day. You’ll come away feeling better and happier for pampering yourself.
In Conclusion
National Singles Day is not a day to focus on things you don’t have. Instead, celebrate yourself and enjoy your time being single. There is so much to life; you can use the experience to learn, explore and grow. Can you think of other ways to enjoy National Singles Day?
