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.

These are things I've been doing in the past couple weeks and how I spent my time alone at home. I'm feeling more creative because there's more space in my life. I don't think I'd have this much time to play if we weren't staying home. I'm happy and grateful I get to spend time like this again.

How have you been spending your time alone? Have you created anything that surprised you?

Ultimately, it's better to be alone than in a wrong company

[krisydays]

I have always been comfortable being alone but it's still nice to be reminded why it's perfectly fine to feel like that ❤️

I’m a therapist as I’ve said and this is such perfect timing, Lavendaire. One of the biggest complaints I’m hearing from my clients is that they’re lonely; particularly if they live alone. Being by yourself can be such a battle on your emotional well-being. I’ll be sharing some of these tips with them. Wonderful video! 💕

"Music is about expression not perfection, it's not about impressing anyone or being good, I do it because it brings me joy and makes me feel"

notes from the video :)

1. focus on love
- treat yourself
- do things that make you happy
- try new things
- do things that you enjoy but, have been avoiding
- do acts of love
- rediscover yourself (do online personality quizzes)

2. follow your joy
a) ask “what would be fun right now”
- make a playlist
- sing
- dance
(do anything that would seem like fun)
b) try something new
- new outfits
- new wigs

3. follow your curiosity
- learn knew things
- follow your instincts

remember: love, joy curiosity

4:30 can we all appreciate how lovely her voice is?!✨ Another lovely video. Thank you, Aileen!

[IvanLamLJ]

Aileen,


thank you so much for this video! It definitely made my anxious morning so much better. I'm always thinking of doing things that are productive that I feel like I need permission to have fun. I love creating and doing looks during this time too! I feel bad because it feels vain, so it's a push and pull. I will not feel bad for it! LOVE

Tbh quarantine made me realize that we have to treat ourselves first nicely alone rather than pleasing other thanks Aileen ☺️💖

It's 2024. We're not in quarantine, and I'm still alone and lonely spending my time at home most of the time. Thank you for sharing this video ❤

[ayatnour]

There is nothing better than listening to lavendaire being productive while slacking off on the bed.

[abym]

Oh Lord. I could listen to you sing for hours and hours. What an angel.

[katlaingibjorg]

Personally I am a very social person but I also like being alone :) who else?!

[siobhan]

I feel like this is so necessary right now and I relate to EVERYTHING you said! Thanks so much

[kasiar]

I have been alone during quarantine, and I have never felt so good. I reconnected with my inner-self, I pursued my dreams, and I became happier than ever. I think that many of us started questions about essential aspects of life and follow their intuition. We forget to slow down and listen to our body and mind & I am truly grateful for this time.

[Freverblessed]

Finding joy in the little things its definitely a great way to spend this quarantine!! I hope you are ALL doing well and staying safe!!

From a self love content creator to another- great video Aileen!! ❤️
