What to do on Thanksgiving when you are ALONE

Thanksgiving is here and it is time to express gratitude and be grateful for the blessings and REFLECT. While my 2026 is not great or not amazing at all, definitely the worst year in my life if you’ll excuse me for being rude even for a moment because this year just taught me a lot of things. How people you love and close to you or family are not the best people for you to be with. Someone called me horrible things in the past few months and found out how horrible people can be even if you’re living with them and finding out that they actually hate you is the worst. This is the year where everyone showed me their true colors. So yeah…

So that’s a little rant for me pls excuse me and I am very sorry, haha. There’s more to it in the future so be sure to SUBSCRIBE on my blog website or FOLLOW ME on my other social media for personal life updates.

Here’s something that I am GRATEFUL for… Being a Permanent Resident in Australia. Hopefully citizenship in the future so I can finally secure my life and relax my brain and out of survival feeling mode everyday. Now I am able to live and work and enjoy nature! I love the beach, the outdoors! It is literally FREE! I’m gonna go outdoors and even walk around everywhere when I can because Life is short! While I am still in very good health which is another thing that I am super grateful for.

Definitely gonna be focusing more on my health in 2027 coz my nervous system is wrecked!! The stress is definitely showing up because my cortisol belly is so big already that I look like 6months pregnant and you should see my face!! Full of pimples/acne, I’ve never had this much on my face and only getting some here and there before so yeah I am freaking out.

Anyways… Here are some things that you can do on Thanksgiving if you are ALONE:

1) Cook a Mini Feast! I love doing this since I also love cooking. I’ve been cooking for one or two at home for so long now and I used to cook for my friends before in Dubai, Malaysia and Singapore so I am sure that I can do this and eat the leftovers for another day. Or make a Charcuterie board or snackables too with your favorite wine or drinks!

2) Order Take out! Or if you are not very keen on cooking, less things to do and less cleaning up after (I know the feeling haha), Ordering online for take out is definitely a good idea. More time to sit on the couch and finish your whole favourite movies or series and do something else than cooking.

3) Go out for a solo date! This is another thing that I like to do as well. I like trying out new restaurants or different places so I’ll take myself out for a solo date! I also love people watching and just daydreaming about my life. Most times I like to bring my laptop and do my work outside, try out new places to eat, new food, people watching all things at the same time because why not!

4) Virtual Catch up with friends or family! Now if you are alone just because either people cannot travel to see each other and are busy about life or everyone just lives in different states or countries.. I mean we are all adulting so it is understandable. Why not order take out or cook or make a charcuterie board or snackables and do a netflix party or google meet / zoom with your friends and family.

5) Clean your house and have a home spa session after! Probably the last thing you wanna do on Thanksgiving is clean orrrr NOT? But it is an idea! Probably it’s time to do a general home cleaning, declutter some stuff to donate. Play your favorite music while cleaning and do karaoke at the same time and finish off by a hot bath with epsom salt or bubble bath with candles and just fully relax!!

6) Write a Journal! Since it is thanksgiving, This should be on our to do list. Write a journal of what we are thankful or grateful for. And our plans and bucket list for the next coming years to check out. Have a manifestation written on your notebook to manifest all the wonderful things for the future. I am excited to write mine here on my blog website and share with you my future plans and manifestations =)

7) Medical checkup and Dental Checkup – Health and Wellness: Now I know this is probably very random. But as I said above, being healthy is one that I am grateful for because we cannot literally do anything and spend more money when we are sick! So I guess booking an appointment in advance to do your medical checkup and dental checkup or whatever checkup you wanna do is actually a good idea and booking yourself a 3hour spa massage session is another great idea! I could use a lymphatic massage right now plsss =D

8) Quick Travel Holiday nothing like going to new places. Maybe this is your time to finally go to that place that you’ve been wanting to visit for so long. Lots of people do solo traveling right now so why not do that too! Something to look forward to.

9) Book a hotel or airbnb if you just wanna stay nearby but not at your house, booking a nice hotel or really cute airbnb is a good idea. Maybe check out a new hotel that just opened and see what it’s like. Or Book that cute cottage OR loft style airbnb and enjoy something different.

10) Time for holiday shopping! Not many holidays coming up after Thanksgiving but everything would be on sale now and now is probably the best time to go shopping for Christmas gifts and things you’ll need! You can take your time and reward yourself with a nice Pie and coffee after =) You can Shop my favorites on AMAZON too!

I have written 10 things here that are looking like a good plan for the day! Take your time and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Either do a full house general cleaning, play your favourite music, cook or order online for takeout and have a relaxing bubble bath after then enjoy your wine and watch your favorite movie/series. Or start the day early, grab a cup of coffee at your favorite cafe, enjoy your breakfast there while people watch, then follow up to your medical or dental checkup. Buy a takeaway from your favorite restaurant and go home! Enjoy a bubble bath, eat your takeaway after while writing in your journal and reflect about life.

You can CLICK ME if you wanna know what to do during Thanksgiving but want to be more around with people who celebrate it as well. I’m thinking you wanna party or spend your time doing something outside for a change. I don’t know about you but our moods change during the day so at least we have options and plans right? Might wanna chill at home in the day and join a party at night or be outside volunteering and enjoy your bubble bath at home at night time. Either way, whatever you decide is up to you!

Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe, enjoy life =)
