It\u2019s mostly a time of merriment with <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-christmas-lights-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christmas lights<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-christmas-gift-ideas-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shopping sprees<\/a>, and fun gatherings. But the joyous season can also be a tough time \u2013 especially if you\u2019re newly single. Why? Well, the holidays are typically a time for family, friends, and loved ones, but when you&#8217;re newly single, you might find yourself pushing away from others, leaving you feeling <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/i-feel-lonely-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lonely and isolated<\/a>. There are ways to get through it by making the best of what you have and focusing on yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>A survival guide to being single during the holidays<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Give yourself permission to skip holiday events<\/h3>\n<p>You may feel obliged to attend every holiday event and party, but it\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t want to. It doesn\u2019t mean that you don\u2019t love everyone in your life or care about them as much as they care about you. Not going out when you don&#8217;t want to won&#8217;t make anyone think less of your character or suggest that you&#8217;re not fun anymore. If anything, it\u2019ll show them how strong of a person you are!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Reach out to friends and family and ask how they&#8217;re doing<\/h3>\n<p>When you&#8217;re newly single, it&#8217;s natural to want to be alone. The holiday season is a time for family and friends, which can be difficult after you&#8217;ve been rejected by someone close to you. Don&#8217;t be afraid to reach out and ask how your loved ones are doing! There&#8217;s nothing wrong with giving them a call or sending an email \u2013 in fact, it might make them (and yourself) feel better.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Allow yourself to feel the negative emotions<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re feeling sad, angry or frustrated after a breakup, these are all valid emotions (even if they can get overwhelming at times). There&#8217;s no need to hide how you&#8217;re feeling from others who care about you. If someone asks how things are going, be honest with them; don&#8217;t worry about what anyone else thinks about your answer. In fact, if it\u2019s tough for you to talk about it, suggest meeting up later at a time of your convenience.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don&#8217;t compare yourself to other newly single people. Everyone deals with breakups differently so don&#8217;t assume that because someone else seems better than you right now, that means they had an easier time getting over their ex!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_263724\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263724\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-263724 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-3-900x643.png\" alt=\"single during the holidays\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-3-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-3-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-3.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-263724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Anthony Tran via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>4. Focus on yourself more than usual<\/h3>\n<p>When going through a breakup or divorce, it&#8217;s especially important to take care of yourself during the holidays. The holiday season also shouldn\u2019t be just about gifts or material things. It&#8217;s about being with your family during this special time of the year and reflecting on how much we all mean to each other! Take things easy. Take things slow. And most of all, keep things simple and get as much rest as you can.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Avoid wallowing in self-pity<\/h3>\n<p>This is a time when it&#8217;s easy to get stuck in the past and think about how things were before you were single. For example, it feels like everyone on your social media feed feed is sharing pictures of their kids or grandkids, or maybe your ex has been dating someone new for months now. These are all things that\u2019ll only make you feel worse about yourself and where you are right now. Don&#8217;t do anything that makes you feel like a victim or sorry for yourself; instead, focus on doing things that make YOU happy first!<\/p>\n<h3>6. Do things that keep you busy and put a smile on your face<\/h3>\n<p>This is the perfect time to focus on your own happiness. Do things that make you feel good, whether it&#8217;s going for a walk in the park, watching your favourite holiday movie, or baking cookies. If that isn&#8217;t possible (and even if it is), try getting out of the house regularly \u2013 just going for a walk around the block or taking care of errands without having any plans will help pass the time while also keeping your mind off things.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Find other newly single people<\/h3>\n<p>As the saying goes, \u201cmake new friends, but keep the old.\u201d There are likely others in your same situation, so use this time to connect with them. You may even make a few lifelong friends in the process. It\u2019s also important to remember that you don&#8217;t have to hang out with them every night.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_263726\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263726\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-263726 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-2-900x643.png\" alt=\"  single during the holidays-2\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-2-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-2-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-2.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-263726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Freestocks via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>8. Don&#8217;t compare yourself to others (especially those who seem more successful)<\/h3>\n<p>It can be tempting to compare ourselves with other people from time to time \u2013 but this is a dangerous path that leads nowhere good! You should never judge anyone based on what they have achieved in life. You don\u2019t know what they went through to get there, or other ongoing challenges they might be experiencing.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Make lemonade from lemons<\/h3>\n<p>Time will go by and before you know it, you\u2019re back at the humdrum of work and life. The holidays can be a great time to reflect on the past year and set goals for the new one. Use this time to focus on your own happiness and wellbeing. Do some things that make sense for your mental health such as meditation! Whatever it is, finding ways to relax is important for maintaining good mental health during challenging times like these.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Seek professional support<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019ll always be people who insist that you should \u2018get over it\u2019, or you should try to move on. Though well-meaning, they might be making you feel worse! You may want to consider seeing a counsellor like myself since talking with someone trained in emotional support would help alleviate stress and anxiety while helping build self-esteem.<\/p>\n<h3>Own your single status like you mean it<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_263727\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-263727\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-263727 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-4-900x643.png\" alt=\"  single during the holidays-4\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-4-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-4-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Bsingle-during-the-holidays-4.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-263727\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Shaurya Sagar via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I know it can be difficult to get through the holidays as a newly single person.
