Date Yourself, Mija. You Deserve It

Because the most important relationship is the one with you

In partnership with

Hey chingona,

Have you ever taken yourself on a solo date?

I’ve been dating myself lately. Taking myself to places I’ve always wanted to go. Not because I’ve given up on love, but because I’d rather sit with the right person at the right table than waste my energy in bad company.

I used to think I needed someone else to invite me out to feel worthy of joy. But that changed the moment I realized I could be the one doing the inviting. Since then, I’ve taken myself on dinner dates, wandered through flea markets, gone on sunset walks... and honestly? I’ve never felt more seen, more grounded, or more in love with the mujer I’m becoming.

Want to start exploring solo dates?

Here are 16 simple ways to fall in love with your own company:

  1. Cafecito and journaling at your favorite coffee shop
    This is my favorite activity. I take time to just be with myself and reflect. I like to use my Chingona Journaling Guide to manifest, heal, and empower my inner chingona.

  2. Explore a bookstore and buy yourself one fun read

  3. Go on a podcast walk around your neighborhood or park

  4. At-home spa night with candles, music, and a face mask

  5. Write a love letter to your younger self and read it out loud

  6. Visit a local museum or gallery — a lot of them are free

  7. Create a vision board or have a collage night with wine

  8. Take a solo photo shoot — get cute and take some selfies

  9. Try a creative class like my Beginner Illustrator Class — next session is April 20

  10. Go thrifting and find something that screams main character

  11. Attend a yoga or meditation class — I’ve been loving hot yoga lately

  12. Watch the sunrise with your cafecito in hand

  13. Sing your heart out with solo karaoke at home

  14. Go to the movies alone — yes, and get the popcorn

  15. Take yourself out to dinner and dress up just for you

  16. Buy yourself a just-because gift
    Like the Manifest That Shit, Mija tee — and because you’re here, take 20% off with code AMOR20

This is your reminder, mija:

Romanticize your life. Take yourself out. Show yourself that you matter.
