8 PRACTICAL tips to truly enjoy your own company & find joy being by yourself 🌿

→Here are the mindsets and practical + actionable tips I followed that really helped me enjoy being alone, which is especially important now that it’s easy to feel lonely while in self isolation or quarantine. I hope this video helps you to deal with loneliness and instead appreciate your own company, find joy and peace in solitude, and learn to love being on your own (or being single!). There’s a difference from being alone and being lonely, and I hope you see solitude an opportunity to embark on your personal growth journey and fall in love with yourself.

📓. The best bullet journal I’ve personally used -
*Scrivwell Dotted A5 Hardcover Notebook - 208 pages

(thick pages, great quality, and this is the cheapest I could find - I literally went on Amazon and calculated the cost of each journal / page!)

*My favourite stationery for journaling:

✏️. Whatever pens I have lying around :)

*Filming Gear (some people have asked, so here’s what I use):
📷 I edit using Final Cut Pro, but you honestly don't need it if you have a Mac - iMovie works fantastic too!

I watched this many months ago, u really inspired me and I come again now to ask u is it a hard journey? I've been trying to love myself for some long time and to enjoy my own company alone but I find it still hard for me and I'm still struggling, is it ok to take so long to achieve it? I just wanna now if there is still hope for me to reach. I can tell my level is still at the starting point.

1) make a bucket list
2) complete on your own ( without company)
3) write a journal
4) meditation
5) walk/ yoga without phone
6) learn to respect and priorotize
7) stay away from social media
8) you will feel lonely but bear with it

Journaling is like having a conversation with yourself

I want to let you know how much I appreciate your video. I have been crying for a few days because I'm by myself. There is not anything distracting me from my negative thoughts about my life. Your suggestions about making a list saved my day, and my mind really thank you!

[Agnes]

I'm completely alone, moved into a new place, a year ago. Being alone is a hardest thing for me. But I'm learning now. Thank you so much for making this video. Lots n lots of love.

[pratimashipurkar]

I actually sat down and watched the whole video without forwarding it❤️ I rarely do that.. thank you ✨

When I was in highschool I had a lot of people I talked to on a daily and began to depend off of human interaction. Once Covid hit and we all graduated most of my friends left to out of state colleges. Typically that would be okay, but because of Covid, I haven’t really been able to make any new friends since my classes are on zoom. I am trying to learn how to be okay with being alone. I just get bored and crave being with people. Your video helped me and I am going to try your tips 💞

[gyaragyaraaditya]

I'll really like your tips sister, your telling about practical life🙂😊

[RiyaRhythmsherway]

Right people will come into your life when they are meant to be! in mean time just ‘focus on yourself’ !what an inspiring line! Thank you so much! it really made me feel better❤️😊

[siyadaadamu]

You helped me a lot I want to be alone but I was scared because everyone make it sound like a bad thing but now am positive I am doing it

[gabbyj]

I’ve moved out recently away from my family and I thought that would help me grow but in fact it has made me feel very lonely but I know moving out is the best option so I’m hoping your videos will help me begin this journey of how to enjoy my own company 🙏🏻🙏🏻
