Ah, being alone
some people like it, others hate it. Some people prefer it, others are scared of it. Whether it's being alone for just a few days or for weeks, months, or years, I feel it's super important to find out to be happy.
Alone.
Totally ... alone.
Just you ... and yourself. nobody else.
Have I made my point yet about what alone means? Hehe, good!
I've always been an introvert at the bottom, so being alone has never been a drag on my behalf me. In fact, I require time alone so as to recharge and not go crazy! But I've also been single and "alone" for months and years at a time. Sure, I felt a touch lonely every now then but ultimately, I used to be still happy on my very own.
I think having the ability to be happy alone is SO important, because if you are not truly happy and cozy being by yourself, then you're always getting to depend upon others (at least a touch bit,) for your happiness.
And nobody should be liable for making you cheerful except YOU.
(I mean that statue looks pretty happy by itself right?!)
So today I'm sharing 7 recommendations on the way to be comfortable and yes ... even HAPPY being alone together with your bad self!
1. Don't Let Your Happiness depend upon people.
Yep, this goes directly with what I just said above. If you're constantly counting on others to form you cheerful, then you're constantly getting to be disappointed. Plus, it really isn't fair to offer someone else the responsibility for creating you happy! Start with learning to like and be proud of yourself. You know, from deep within. Once you're truly proud of yourself, you will not get to depend upon others to form you are feeling happy. Your happiness should intensify with others, but never be relied on by others.
2. Practice Self-Love.
In order to be truly happy alone, you've gotta learn to like YOU. Notice (better yet WRITE DOWN) all the items that cause you to awesome. Show yourself some grace and forgive yourself for any past mistakes (because we ALL make them!) Surround yourself with positive people and cut out the people that affect your life negatively.
3. Get to understand Yourself.
This step goes alongside learning to like yourself. Use alone time to actually get to understand the person who you will always be closest to ... YOU! Try new things, explore new places. Discover new interests and specialize in old interests. have you ever always wanted to undertake something? roll in the hay . have you ever ever considered starting a replacement hobby or career? roll in the hay. Discover what causes you to happy (both big things and tiny things,) and truly DO them. Incorporate them into your life! What causes you to tick?
4. Realize there is a Difference Between Being Alone And Being Lonely.
Like Kelly Clarkson sings in her song 'Stronger,' "Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone!"
Just because you're alone doesn't suggest that you simply do not have people in your life that love you. Friends, family ... they're going to love you albeit you're on the opposite side of the planet. Sure there could be times once you feel a touch lonely, but always remember that there ARE people that care about you. regardless of WHERE you're. Just specialize in cultivating inner love and happiness!
5. Appreciate this.
It's so easy to do either linger over the past and/or linger over the longer term. While it's good to find out from the past and believe your future, dwelling on either of them may be a waste of time! Learn to be within the moment and appreciate what's happening immediately. It's super cliche but really ... now's ALL you've got. The past is over and no future is guaranteed. (I know ... sounds a touch depressing right?) But there is no time just like the present to find out to be happy, especially alone.
6. Reach bent Others.
Don't be afraid to succeed in bent people! Invite a lover out for coffee or get in-tuned with someone who you haven't seen in years. or maybe better, make some new friends! Yeah, that one is often pretty terrifying. But meeting new people and sharing new experiences is a tremendous thanks to discovering new things about yourself. Don't await someone to succeed in bent you, be the one to initiate.
Remember, life is just too SHORT to not be happy! (Although I do know there'll obviously be rough patches in life which will make it extremely hard.) But if you learn to be happy alone, then it DOES make life easier.
And let's face it, it also makes it far more fun! 😊
