How to be a Happy Single Woman (It’s not what you think)

A happy single woman knows that being single does not necessarily mean she is unapproachable or guys don’t like her or even means that she’s waiting for the perfect person. You’ve heard the message that you need to be married to be a truly happy woman which is not true. 

Whether you’re between relationships or have chosen to remain relationship-free, now is the time to focus on living life for yourself and your happiness because being single is a necessary phase before you get married or enter a relationship.

These tips on how to be a happy single woman will help you discover yourself and find ways to be happy as a single woman.  First of all, let’s discuss the three words that we can derive from the word single.

The meaning of being single.

Separate: when something is a separate entity, it means it can thrive on its own. It stands out and does not depend on anything. This simply means as a person you can stand alone and stand strong.
Unique: when you are unique, it means you are different and do not want to be among the crowd. Your greatness is in the fact that you stand out and not blend in.
Completeness: being complete is to be satisfied and not under any pressure to imitate anybody.
The greatness in a relationship is when two single people with all the attributes listed above come together.
