Whether you are single or married we all need the occasional night to ourselves. Some of you may be thinking “A night to myself -- what is that?” We often have those nights where we are home zoning out watching TV, eating and feeling bored. We don’t need more of those nights. This is not the kind of night I am referring to. Some of you may say? “A night to myself? That isn’t going to be fun. If I go out alone, people will think I am weird or will assume I am unlovable and lonely.” Yuck! Believe me, one of the best ways to nurture ourselves is to plan a nice little date night out...yes, alone.

Here are some reasons to consider taking yourself out on a date, even if it means ditching your man or your friends for a night.

One: Freedom! When you take a date night for yourself the first benefit is you have the freedom to do whatever you want to do! You do not have to make concessions for anyone else. It feels good to simply let a day or night, now and again, be all about you and your tastes. It reminds you of who you are what you love and that you can, in fact, feel fantastic all on your own.
