How to enjoy being alone

How to enjoy being alone & things you can do to feel better. It's easy to feel lonely while in self isolation or quarantine, since we're physically disconnected from people and the world. This is an opportunity to go inward and discover, to find joy in the little things, and fall in love with yourself. 

While I always have work to do, there are times like on weekends, where I don't want to work but I also don't know what else to do. And there is this little feeling of emptiness and no direction where I'm just like what should I be doing right now? enjoy this time alone and less lonely. This is an opportunity to rediscover yourself, nourish yourself and find joy in the little things and fall in love with yourself.
I sum it up in three words love,joy and curiosity.

So 1st focus on love. Time spent alone gives you an opportunity to cultivate self love. Treat yourself with love  double down on your self care. And do activities that makes you feel good. Dress up a little more, pamper yourself,  nourish your soul in whatever way it wants to be nourished. I've been trying new looks just for fun. Just so I can feel little special during my days at home. Trying to wore mom's sari, doing freckles, trying makeup stuff bla bla and I thought it was pretty cute. I also finally did my nails 💅 I decided to take off my gel nails, which is so good by the way this look relaxing..but anyways this was an act of self love. In order to fall in love with yourself you have to get to know yourself. You can take a personality check just for fun. 

Follow your joy
Ask yourself, what would be fun right now? Spend your time on hobbies and activities that brings you joy like singging, cooking, yoga, reading books, clicking photo game, poetry, dancing....the list goes on and on.
Its honestly been so fun for me, learning piano and dance. Another fun thing you could do is make a playlist. So you can spend time discovering new music you like or re-visit old songs that you used to love. This can be so nostralogic and fun. Music has this way of bringing you back to those feelings that you had when you listening to the song all the time.It is really way to travel and to me it's fun and fulfilling.

Creativity
Creativity can bring you so much joy. I truly believe that humans are ment to create so ask yourself, what can I create during this time alone? Maybe you can goto your closet and challenge to come up with new outfits that you never put together before. Try something new, experiment, take risk.
During this time I decided to create handmade crafts creating and try to learn new stuff I had so much fun.Just for fun just for the creativities sake.
As you doing that you can also do the time to declutter any old clothes that don't suits you anymore. 

Curiosity
Lastly follow your curiosity. This is the best time you to learn and explore about yourself and anything else you're curious about.
You can take time to reflect your journal, your feelings and thoughts and discover the gems you have within. May be you recognise new lessons and wisdom that you have gained. You can also go through your old notebooks and journal and consider how you changed and how you evolved since then.
Explore the topics that you've been curious about. Learn a new skills, a new language, new recipe just begin with the simple question, what would be cool to learn? And you can go from there. Your curiosity can lead you to amazing places that you never would have predicted that you never would you have gone. If it weren't for this time alone.

Afterall this hopefully you feel better about spending time alone. This is an amazing opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself. And give yourself the love you deserve. Remember to three things to follow
Love, joy and curiosity.

If you learn to go deep into this areas, you'll never be bored. Still  let's not discount the fact that as human beings we crave humman connection. So some time the simplest thing you can do if you feel lonely to reach out to someone and connect with them. You can't expect to receive love if you aren't giving it.

So next time you find yourself for craving for love and connection ask yourself, am I giving love to myself and to others?
