Distraction is another way to take your mind off of being single. Look at hobbies or do-it-yourself projects you can take up. Consider taking classes or workshops. If you’re part of a church, find ways you can get more involved. Find opportunities to volunteer in your community (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes, Red Cross, Salvation Army, shelters, food pantries, etc.) Think of things that you might want to learn or may have even the slightest interest in and see what’s available in those areas. Be proactive and take the initiative to organize something that you could include others in. You may not be able to change your singleness, but you can change what occupies your time. Basically the point here is - don't do something about your singleness, do something with your singleness. Focusing on your strengths and abilities will help you to heal.
