How to LOVE being alone ☺️💌🫶✨

as someone who got out of a long term relationship over a year ago, I still struggle to learn how to be alone. I mean it’s hard…. Humans are built to crave connection. HOWEVER! Building a strong connection within yourself is super critical in order to better your relationships with others💛

I’m officially at a mindset that I love my independence. I am content with my own company. I understand that when the time is right there will be someone for me. But as of now, I plan to discover who I am. What are my values? What do I want my future to look like? I am so excited to build a foundation of who I want to become. AND SO SHOULD YOU!!!

If you are starting a new chapter in your life and want to learn to be better alone…

here are some tips!!!

• build friendships that bring out your truest self💌

I’ve struggled a lot with building connections with people as i have always had this constant feeling that I could never fully open up or never fit in with certain groups. So I started reflecting on people I want to surround myself with and can gratefully say that I have found people who are truly a blessing! Filling your life with good people add so much meaning and beauty. Find people that will constantly bring you laughter, adventure, comfort and pure joy☺️

• go on solo dates!!!

I use to never do things alone. I felt people would judge and think I’m weird for being alone. However, doing such simple things alone is so therapeutic. You are able to reflect on current dilemmas, the past, how you want to improve yourself, and just learn to love your own company. It can be the smallest activities too! I love going on nature walks through the trails… I will listen to mindful podcasts, calming music or just listen to surrounding nature. I live near a beach so I am trying to go by myself more! I’ll bring a book to read, collect shells, swim. Go during sunrise or sunset which is always so beautiful.. perfect setting for self reflections! I love exploring new coffee shops that could be cute study spots!!

• practice gratitude

Building a better mindset is super important because while you can physically do things to help your independence, your mentality is crucial!!

I still have my low moments where I wish I had someone but in those moments I flip my mindset. I tell myself that it’s so beautiful that I have the opportunity to better myself and learn about who I am. And one day when the time is right, I will find someone who aligns with my discovered values! The hardship and struggle sucks but when you feel that discomfort remember that means YOUR GROWING!
