8 Great Advantages of Being Alone
Do you find yourself spending a great deal of time alone? Do you battle with how to spend that time? Do you have plenty of things you’d like to accomplish, but have a hard time getting and saying focused when you’re alone? Are you wasting valuable, solitary hours that could be productively spent?
Consider these advantages of being alone:
1. Do what you want when you want. Being alone means you’re totally in control of your decisions. You get to pick what you want to do while you have this free time alone. Think of it as being abundantly wealthy with time.
- Want to remodel the kitchen from top to bottom? Need to learn a new language without interruption? Want to start a fruit and vegetable garden?
- Having alone time means that you can start or finish anything you’ve been setting to the side because of outside influences.
2. Set a goal and attain it. Now, that you have no distractions, take some time to set one or two goals. Make a list of the steps you’ll need to follow, so you can achieve completion of each goal. As you get done with the steps, mark them off one by one to see your progress. When you accomplish said goal, make sure to celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small they may be.
- You have the power and time to make your dreams come to fruition.
3. Think of something that interest you. Perhaps you’ve had a desire to take part in a particular activity that appeals to you. There’s nothing stopping you from going for it. At least, make a call to inquire about watching or actually get hands-on training with a class. Being alone in this venture means you don’t have to worry about if someone makes fun of you. However, you do have to be your own hype man and keep the momentum going so you don’t give up.
4. Find out more. Researching will certainly broaden your horizons and make you a much more fascinating person. Research topics you love or try a new interest. The more you know about a topic, the more you expand your worldview and thought process. Be excited about learning something new, so you can have something to look forward to while exploring.
- If doing online research isn’t quite up your ally, try going to the library and reading up on subjects you can get lost in while enjoying your quiet time at home. Not interested in reading? No worries, do a movie search on the topic and have a day of movie watching to educate yourself through cinema.
5. Workout. If you’re alone and have a great deal of time on your hands, you can use that time to get in the best shape you’ve ever been. Decide on a workout plan, block out the time to get it done, and follow through. You can even save a few steps by signing up to a fitness app. The workouts, music, schedules, and diets are already planned out for you.
- You can be positive and overcome any type of health or fitness concerns you might have. Can you imagine becoming the healthy, fit, and vibrant person you’ve longed to be? It’s certainly within your reach.
6. Start some soul-searching. What do you desire out of life? When you’ve thought of the life you intend to live, you’ll be more likely to get it. Spend some time considering what’s essential to you and what you intend to complete in your lifetime. Having extra alone-time means you can create the life of your dreams and put it in motion without anyone else talking you out of it.
7. Be good at something. Nothing makes us feel better than knowing we have mastered something really well, that no one knows nothing about. Just to see the look on their face when you present your talent is worth the practice it takes to do it with ease.
- Maybe for you, it’s singing, playing the drums, or cooking magnificent food! Whatever it is, invest your solitary time sharpening your skills so you can become the best at it. It’ll be a great talent to showcase when ready, as well as a confidence-builder.
8. Take this time to get to know yourself. Don’t be afraid to use it to date yourself. Treat you how you want to be treated by others, so when and if you decide to get a mate, you know your worth and how they should treat you. You’re setting the standards for anyone you decide to share your time, life, and space with moving forward.
You can go on weekend getaways by yourself. Send yourself flowers to be delivered at your office or home. Take yourself out to a private dinner. You can even spend the day at the spa spoiling yourself. Whatever it is you enjoy doing, do it because you’re worth it.
Being alone is the one gift you can give yourself over and over. When you experience a breakup, think of it as a blessing. You now get to rediscover the parts of you that got lost or took a backseat to your last partner’s needs or wants. Cook the food you miss eating because they didn’t like it. Listen to the music you love dancing your heart out to. Visit places you always wanted to go now that you have the freedom to explore new ventures. Be your genuine self again.
Alone time is greater than what it gets credit for. When you’re alone, you have an abundance of time to invest in what brings you happiness. You get the opportunity to learn about yourself, achieve personal goals, and appreciate your life as it stands. Relish in the time you spend by yourself because it gives you the power to do anything your heart desires. Your time to focus on yourself is right now, make it worth it and productive!
