It is your Birthday and you are all alone to celebrate it. Celebrating Birthday alone is not that exciting thing. There is no one around and you are all confused as to how to spend your day. You might be having a thought to treat this day as any usual day, but trust me, that’s not possible. After all, it’s your special day and it will come only once in a year. So, do not let it all go in vain. Think about the most innovative ways in which you can celebrate it. Just imagine that if it was the only day to be spent, how you will spend it – cautiously of course. So live each moment of the day and let the celebration continue.
I have been alone quite often on my B’day and this year too, I am left all alone to celebrate it. No issues. But over the years, I have found some great ways to spend it in the most special ways.
Here are some of the ways that I have explored so far:
Pray:
Out of our hectic schedule, we do forget about praying even once in the entire day. But believe me it feels great to pray. So do not let this opportunity to let go. Follow up a small prayer, thanking God for showering all his blessings. You may also reveal your inner wishes and the desires that you wish to be completed for the next year. Once you are done with this ritual, you are sure to feel good about yourself and your day.
Meditate and Exercise:
I know it may sound to be a bit boring. Why on Earth should you go for this routine once again??? Well I will give you reasons. First and foremost, exercising and meditating is a great stress buster. It relaxes your mind and body. May be you would not like doing this routine but Just Do It, even if for a shorter period of time. It will show up the energy the entire day.
Now that you have head started you day all well, you can opt for any of the two options for the rest of the day:
Go to work, but a bit early:
Yeah, you may frown at the very heading. Why on earth should you go to office on your B-day. You will have to work for the same number of hours and carry out the same daily work. Yes definitely, but it is you who will have to make this day a bit different. Here are some of the ways:
1) Reach office early and complete your work. Finish early so that you can have the whole evening to enjoy.
2) Wear your most favorite new dress (you would have done the shopping for that already!). Make yourself look good and perfect. Dressing has a lot to do with your mood. And who knows, you might get a lot of compliments.
3) Order something different for your breakfast and lunch, something which you like eating and share it with your colleagues.
4) After all, your colleagues are your friends too. Who knows they might have arranged a surprise party for you. If not, you throw them a good party and enjoy the togetherness. Invite people with whom you weren’t that familiar and bond. This will help you make new friends.
If going to office doesn’t seem to be too exciting, you may opt for the second option.
Book yourself for an activity:
This could be anything varying from bungee jumping, ice skating to enrolling for a cooking class that teaches you about some good recipes say Chocolates or Ice-cream! Be engaged in something that could help you pass the 5-6 hours of your day.
I remember, last year I enrolled for a cooking class on How to make Chocolates. I must say I enjoyed it thoroughly and had my name written on the chocolate bar. It was such an amazing experience!
Do something that you have thought doing and accomplish them. At the end, you will be all energized to welcome the beginning of yet another year.
Treat yourself with good food:
This is one of the things that you must do. Try a different recipe, it doesn’t matter whether you prepare it at home or opt for a restaurant. Alternatively, try something that you cherish eating.
Gear up for the next year:
When you are done with the day, give yourself a half an hour break and think about the things that you wish to accomplish for the next year. Promise yourself to work towards it. If they are accomplished, the next year you will have many reasons to celebrate and enjoy.
Hold the memories:
Good memories are such good things that you will always fall for it. Try to capture the day in your camera for the various moments and try making a sweet and cute album that encloses the moments of your B-day. Believe me, you may not be very enthusiastic towards its preparation. But when the moments are gone and you look at it, you would fall in love with it.
Happy Celebrating!!!!!!
