Challenges:

1. Do something alone that you normally wouldn't do. Take yourself on a date or just go for a walk and take that time with yourself to grow as an individual. Remember that just because you are alone, that doesn't mean you need to be lonely. God is pursuing you always.


2. Seek mercy both in your human relationships and with God. If possible, go to confession.
