Birthday month? Celebrate SOLO with these unique ideas

New Delhi: Birthdays are meant to be a lavish, group affair. Well, that's what we often tend to think. However, birthdays need not always be a pompous affair minus the true essence of the special day. If you are alone and clueless about how to spend the special day alone, we have a list of to-do for you. Also, if you want to do something different this birthday, you will find these ideas useful.

Take a look.

Watch a movie alone:

Watching movie alone could be one of the saddest things, we know. Especially if it is in a theater. However, this birthday, if you are alone – make sure to watch that film alone and enjoy this new kind of freedom. Don't forget to keep some popcorn handy.

Meditation and spiritual awakening:

Ditch the obvious and spend the day by doing some spiritual healing. On a day to day basis, we often ignore the fact that our mind needs rest and of course, it needs a special kind of nourishment which can only be achieved by spiritual pursuit. Do some meditation and listen to some healing music!

Pamper yourself:

Head to a parlour and spend the day at the spa, body massage center or simple pedicure or manicure. Yes, those things may be very common to you but doing it on a special day as birthday will motivate you to live life to the fullest and find happiness even in the smallest of things!

Solo vacation:

This should top the list. Yes, solo vacations can be really enriching and enlightening. Not to mention the fun side! Embark on a solo travel and do and eat stuff that you want. Although in the beginning, it may seem like a boring task, you will get used to it soon and rather enjoy it.

Go shopping, like a boss:

How can you forget that it's your birthday and you should gift yourself with a nice present? Well, head to the best shop in your city and buy the gift that you would like to give yourself. It's funny, but it helps!

Donate:

Instead of wasting money in celebrations and lavish meals – you can spare some bucks for the poor and needy. It doesn't need a special day to do something special for the downtrodden ones. Also, think it this way- your birthday should bring a smile on person's face. Won't that be a special thing to do?
