Being single is an art we’re all given the opportunity to master by doing these things…
5 key things to be exact, but I’ll just sum it up to ONE word. I won’t take up too much of your time. Your time is valuable. So naturally, if being serious about being intentional with what “those 5 things” are and not forcing the idealistic “happily single” concept in the process is important to you—then Value meets Value, here.
Instead of asking “How to be happy single?” and similar questions that center “being single” with a momentary emotion (i.e. being happy), just do this one thing…
‘Cause I swear, ever since starting this show, the algorithm likes to show me content with the words “Happy” and “Single” subsequent to it. Chile. 🙄 *finger down thr—* Happiness is a fickle state of mind; 30 minutes of my favorite show can do that. What we want here is something that lasts beyond a reactionary mood. Something with pleasurable purpose that proves beneficial and carries weight well past singlehood when/if we choose to enter a serious relationship and/or get married—naturally pouring into our many other forms of relationships, as well. In short, making it A Lifestyle.
JOY lives here.
You’re serious about your single life, and deserve to make it worth something more than attributing a long-term or short-term situation (i.e., being single) with fleeting feelings (e.g., happiness, anger, loneliness, sadness, et cetera). You’ve been drawn to the right place. We attracted one another. Me and you are now in a relationship. Sup, bookie 😉
I made a whole video breaking down what exactly those “5 things” are. In that same session, I reveal, at the root of “Being Single,” there’s ONE specific WORD that’s allowed me to Master my single season—and in turn, ALL of my relationships completely changed for the better. And I mean ALL of them. Especially the intimate relationship I have with myself.
Being Single Is an Art We’re All Given the Opportunity to Master by Doing These Things:
i. Recognizing and Remembering That Relationships Are a Given
Relationships are inevitable. How so? We’re Given Life—BOOM, that’s a relationship in itself. Who/What gives us that? Our Creator—BOOM, relationship. The point here is,
there’s all type of relationships…
from familial to platonic, and of course our intimate companionships where we choose to merge as a family.
We have close relationships, distant relationships, good relationships, bad relationships, etc. The first relationship we’re Given is the relationship with Life, the relationship with our mother, our father… we’re in a whole relationship with ourselves and have one with Our Creator—God, JAH, The Most High—what you call ’em is your business—Creator of “Relationships” even being a thing to experience in the first place… Again, my point:
As we grow, we come into conscious awareness of the relationships we naturally have and how we go about maintaining them, along with forming ‘n fostering the many other one’s in our life that we develop, shape, form ‘n rearrange over time.
Like what you’re reading and wanna be my friend?
Relationships aren’t just with people and our pets, we have healthy and unhealthy relationships with places, behaviors, habits, food, et cetera. The list is infinite. This video I keep referring to expands on a simple, single, deliberate action that can make or break—change up, shake ‘n recreate—any relationship we face.
How would you define the word Relationship?
ruh•lay•shun•ship
I don’t wanna know what Google, ChatGPT or your own personal AI says…
what do You say based on what you see and experience first-hand?
For instance, how’s your relationship with your health… today? Are we being gentle with ourselves or need to bring in some tough love at the moment? What about work and those you work with—are healthy boundaries in place and being enforced? What’s your support system been like lately? Or sleep patterns? From the outside looking in, what’s going on with the relationship you’re sideline witnessing someone you care about in? How’s it inspiring or discouraging you? Our perspective is a relationship-sector as well.
These questions are just to get the ~inner juices flowing~ toward defining the term relationship for yourself. I give my own definition in the video. I’d love to hear yours.
Hit PLAY, right below, to immediately hear my definition of the word relationship:
Being Single Is an Art We’re All Given the Opportunity to Master by Doing These Things:
ii. Choice vs. Force (The Freedom to Decide)
iii. The Opportunity to Only Have to Consider and Worry About Yourself
All forms of relationship require Responsibility. The workings of a relationship is like a GARDEN, and a relationship itself is similar to the mechanisms of a RAINBOW—both analogies thoroughly compared within this first episode. Following talks of how the flow of energy exchange works (e.g. the masculine & feminine spirit, spiritual laws and its practical affect), exposing our desires, the power and sincerity in CHOICE, individualism being an illusion, and other subpoints of the like… the remaining subject matter get into the attention we give to ourselves, knowing who we truly are…accepting and embodying this truth… concluding with an honest chat about discipline and standing on business.
Before listing the remaining 2/5 “things,” 0:16 seconds summarizing this art in action (+my relationship definition):
Being Single Is an Art We’re All Given the Opportunity to Master by Doing These Things:
iv. Recognize, Know & Understand Our Superpowers (strengths, gifts, skills, talents, abilities…)
v. Use Time Wisely to Get to Know Ourself (now), Be Content With Self, and IDENTIFY Our Own Energy
Do the single life, don’t let it do you.
Do the single life, don’t let it do you. Watch the first episode of Single Season Sessions, “The Art of Being Single” — In Ep. 1, we’re thoroughly breaking down rich behaviors ‘n mindsets and sharing golden nuggets whispered in the ear as a youth that opportune itself crucial to consider during singlehood. These reminders hold weight in the courting stages and marriage, if that’s a goal, but ultimately the bajillion other relationships we hold. The Art of being single is the intentionality behind it.
What makes “Being Single” an ART?
Art can be beautiful, emotionally ’n intellectually captivating, or just straight up trash. Regardless its quality appeal, its expression is a reflection of the ❦Heart. Intentionality brings a ❇︎✦je ne sais quoi✦❇︎ factor to the single season(s) we face in life that I see allowing way for something to master, bringing lively purpose to “being single” vs another mindless collection of moments.
Make lOveeeeeee to your single season, don’t just be in it. Talk to it daily, tend to it often, study this particular season and what you need in it, now—then start delivering/acknowledging so it can arrive to your doorstep in mint condition.
What chapter in your life are you coming out of, how are you managing any changes, and what’s the theme of the chapter you’re writing currently? It make no nun if a lasting ‘n loyal long-term companionship or meaningless stimulating date hopping is on the brain… this is about You, in this current single season. Let’s focus on that, first. This is what I mean by “mastering the art.”
