1. Stop waiting for them and start living in the now

It's a good idea to know what you are looking for in a partner. If you don't, how will you know when you've found him or her? But, if you are spending every waking moment day dreaming about them, then there is a big chance that you are wasting your valuable time right now. Instead of thinking about them, why not think about you? What goals do you want to achieve in the next 12 months? What places do you want to see? Which people you want to visit? Dream them up and then make a plan to achieve them. Because guess what? You're single and you can do whatever you want!

2. Learn to love yourself

There is only ever going to be one of you. You are unique and special. Be proud of who you are and all the things you have achieved. You don't need someone else to make you feel loved and you don't need someone else to make you feel whole. You already have everything you need right now to live a happy, healthy and full life. So don't be hard on yourself, learn to .

3. Learn to love your single freedom

said it best: "It is better to be happy alone than sick with someone else. The most important relationship you have is the one you have with yourself." I can't agree more. Being single has so many benefits; it's your chance to be selfish and do all the things you want to do. So get out there and enjoy it! Not sure where to start? 

4. Listen to the story you're telling yourself

I recently wrote a blog post about listening to the stories that we tell ourselves. Anything you say that's really negative is not helping you. If you call yourself a "freak magnet," or tell yourself "all the good men/women are taken," or that you are "never going to find someone," then your chances of this happening are very high. We attract what we put out there to the world. So change that story and attract something new.

5. Make time for your friends and family

When the time comes and you do find someone amazing, chances are you will have less time for many of your favorite people. So make time for your friends and family now by planning holidays to see them or trips together. Hang out and do things with the people who are closest to you.

6. Get out and try something new

Have you been wanting to try something different lately? Is there something you've always wanted to do but haven't had a chance to do it yet? Well, go out and do it! No doubt it will make you feel incredible. Don't stop at one thing either. Make up your bucket list and start crossing things off now.

7. Set yourself a big goal and spend some time each day making it happen

It could be a career change, it could be overseas travel, it could be starting your dream business. Don't hold yourself back. Write down that big goal and then work on it each and every day. Who knows what you can achieve. How exciting!

8. Trust the process

Have you ever listened to your friends who are married or in a relationship? Often they have a story about all the losers they met prior to finding their loved one. That's because we all need to go through the process, to learn our own lessons and meet a few oddballs before the universe brings us the one we're meant to be with. You are exactly where you need to be right now, so trust the process.
