Definitely don't carry all your cash & cards etc around with you. Use your hotel in-room safe or safety deposit box. I never leave all my eggs in one basket & usually put some valuables in my locked bag (usually amongst the dirty washing).
I am often alone in Bali. I have found it a good rule to never ever tell anyone that I am alone. Not cab drivers (esp at night), not people I meet, not other tourists in the hotel - at least until I have got to know them better. I always say that my husband is surfing, my friends are shopping etc & are expecting me.
It'd be a good idea to do group activities such as a cooking class, a bike ride etc where you will meet other people.
