To start with, I am an introvert which means that I recharge and gain energy by being alone. And it doesn't mean that I am unsocial, don't like people or spend time with them. No, not at all. But only those who are an introvert knows what I am talking about.
So I often spend time alone, sometimes because I need it and sometimes because there is no one to meet. And I know that feeling when you don't know what to do, how to spend time. Lately I stopped worrying about it and decided just to enjoy myself. Here are a couple of my ideas what to do while being alone:
Read.
The ability to live a hundred of lifes and visit different worlds. And you don't want company in these journeys, believe me. But of course, not everyone likes to read.
Watch tv-series.
Or movies. But I prefer tv-series to watch alone. I am just obsessed with them, almost live with the characters. Today there are so many shows so that everyone can find something they like.
DIY projects.
Why not to be crafty sometimes and express yourself?
Color.
It's a new popular thing - coloring therapy, helps to relax, relief stress. Special coloring books for adults can be found in bookstores.
Ride a bicycle.
You can ride in your own speed, where you want and how much you want.
Go for a walk.
I prefer walks with someone else but lonely evening walks are nice and helps me relax, rethink, reset my mind.
Cook/bake.
It is great to try out some new recipe by yourself. You won't be embarrassed if it doesn't come out well, because no one apart you will not try it.
Experiment with makeup.
Sometimes I like to try out some new makeup looks on me. Practice makes perfect, also it is a great way to discover what looks good on you and learn something new.
Meditate.
Or just have some time to think about the current day, what are you grateful for, put your thoughts together, restart your mind.
Go through old photographs.
Bring those memories back. And appreciate them once more.
Redecorate room, reorganize bookshelves, sort out the clothes.
Why not to take that alone time not only to sort out yourself but also your things? With good music in the background and a cup of hot tea on the side. Helps me also to put my thoughts together.
