The Bar Can Help You Reconnect With Yourself

You go to the bar to connect with others. But have you considered that going to the bar can actually make you feel better about yourself?

Here are 5 ways going to the bar can help you reconnect with yourself.

Take a Break From Your Friends

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from hanging out with your usual crew. Going to the bar alone can allow you to enjoy life without your friends.

Make sure to fully immerse yourself in your bar experience by turning off your phone and actually getting to know a random stranger or two.

At the end of the night, you’ll probably have made some new friends. You might even have found a new potential partner.

Get Over Life’s Problems

Have you been feeling down lately? Are you trying to get over a bad breakup? Going to the bar can be just the trick you need to get out of your funky mood.

Going to the bar will also remind you just how awesome life can be. Instead of having to deal with people who don’t appreciate you, a night at the bar will show you that everything is going to be okay.

Nothing is forever. So stop feeling like things will never get better and head to the bar!

Indulge Your Taste Buds

It’s been ages since you’ve tried some new drinks. Instead of ordering your usually vodka soda, try out some new cocktails for a change.

Switch it up and go to a bar that you don’t usually go to. Then order something from the menu that you never would have considered trying before.

By doing this, you can introduce your taste buds to some new flavors that you didn’t even know that you actually like. The best part is that you might even end up with a new favorite bar to frequent.

Ask for Advice From the Bartender

A bar might not be the best place to go for life-altering advice. However, you might have an entirely different perspective after you ask your friendly bartender for advice about something that’s going on in your life.

Most bartenders are surprisingly easy to talk to. So give it a go and share your story.

Destress From Work

You feel like you barely have time to do anything you like to do any more. So don’t put yourself off any longer. Go out to the bar and take a much-needed break from all of the crap that is going on at your job.

Have a drink or two and just put the work week’s problems off for another day. Surely, it can wait!

5 Signs You Need a Break From Social Media

Have you ever thought about the fact that it might be a good idea to take a break from social media?

It seems like it’s almost impossible when you feel like you’re forced to look at your phone every 5 minutes.

Here are 5 signs that it’s time to take a break from social media.

1. You Procrastinate Often

One of the major reasons why most people take a break from social media is that they realize that they’re wasting tons of time. You knew that you needed to get a few things done for work or school before bed, but instead you went on Facebook!

Social media is a huge time sucker. No matter how much you try to limit yourself (I’ll start doing something productive in 30 minutes after I watch this video.), you still end up wasting your entire night on social media.

2. You’re Annoyed

You’re tired of seeing the same people bitch about life. After all, how many times can you read about your friends’ breakups or daily workout routines before you just want to rip your hair out?

After awhile you start to realize that a lot of status updates are simply attention seeking, and nothing more. If you don’t want to be a part of their audience any more, it’s time for you to find something else to do (like go to the bar and meet real people!).

3. You’re Starting to Feel Bad About Yourself

Many studies have proven that social media is actually bad for your self-esteem. Do you find that you are comparing yourself to your friends on social media? It seems like everybody is doing something awesome except for you.

Well it’s time for you to start having an awesome life too. The way that you do this is by making memories in real life instead of on social media.

4. You’re Not Meeting Anyone New

Let’s be completely honest. When is the last time that you actually made a new friend?

Last year? Ten years ago? While it might sound cool to be like Drake and say “No new friends,” at the end of the day, you’re feeling lonely.  You’re bored of your social media friends and you know it’s time to get out there.

So what’s the remedy? Go to the bar and interact with others. You’ll feel a lot better once you have some new opportunities to meet people. When you get off social media and add new folks to your circle, you’ll feel a lot better.

5. No One Answers Your Messages

If you keep getting replies like “I’m busy, bro.” or “I’ll text you tomorrow.” chances are that you’re the only one that’s constantly sitting home, trying to catch up on social media.

You should take this as a sign that it’s not them, it’s you. So get off your phone and get back out there. It’s the weekend and you deserve a break from social media! Be safe!!
