Alone.
When you hear that word, do you feel uncomfortable, or totally at ease? Being alone and being lonely are two different concepts. Plenty of people, including myself really enjoy time to themselves. It is a way to recharge our batteries, and do things we really enjoy. I am here to tell you that wanting time to yourself to regroup and re-energize after a long day, or even just any time, is totally okay. Making time for you is important! Allow yourself to relax and indulge in what you love. A warm bath, a good book, maybe binge watching a show on Netflix and just unplugging from the world for a while… All totally fine. Do whatever you enjoy most, and don’t let anyone try to guilt you out of it! Some of us need our time alone more than others, and that’s okay!
What do you most enjoy doing to relax?
Think of that, and go with it! It might be different every time. Sometimes I will binge watch a TV show, and other times I will have a nap or play a video game. I love the idea of unplugging for a moment and doing something that allows me to not think about all my troubles, or commitments. I think I resonate more with this topic because I can be relatively introverted. Crowds can drain the life out of me, and I love a little time to myself to recuperate. I used to feel like it was weird, or that I should pretend to enjoy being extroverted more. But lately I have decided to just be who I am, quirks and all! Being extroverted and loving the thought of being surrounded by people is totally okay, and so is being a little the opposite!
I’m with you! I love my solitude. I like to read, watch DVR shows and also paint in my spare time. I like spending quiet time. Never minded riding solo. I think when you are truly at peace with yourself you don’t mind being alone. Alone and lonely aren’t the same thing. 🙂
Thank you for the read! So nice to know there are fellow people out there that are on the same wavelength. 🙂
I enjoy my time being alone. Reading a good book, blogging, browsing for unhealthy hours in Pinterest and so on. So many things to do.

Me too! So nice to know there are other people out there that feel the same!
Being a lone is the best way to reset. Just do what you love and relax!
Absolutely! Couldn’t agree more. It’s exactly that, a mini reset on your day!
I love alone time, its a great way of hitting that personal ‘refresh’ button.

So glad you feel the same way! Sometimes I think I am the only one!
No you’re not alone with wanting and needing down time <3 x
I can totally relate! I love being alone, I already spent a lot of time working on my own but still like to relax by myself
I am glad there are others out there like me! it’s nice to know other people relate!
Totally agree — I’m an introvert and that’s exactly how we recharge, by being alone. I love my friends but I know if I spend a night out, the next day must be free of plans and just relaxing.
Totally! I relate to this comment on a cellular level lol. My extroverted friends always think its so strange!
Yeesss! Totally can relate to this. I used to loathe being alone as it just made me think so many negative thoughts but now I revel in it. I love taking a nice long bubble bath, technology free and relax. Sometimes a moment alone is all we need to get motivated again!
Totally! I love that everyone has their own way to recharge. It makes us all so unique and interesting.
Ever since I was a child I always enjoyed being alone more than being in large groups. As I grew into a teenager, people would sometimes make me feel badly about not wanting to go to every party or go out every weekend. It was in my mid to late 20s that I accepted that that was just who I was and that I was totally okay!
Thanks for sharing! x
