I think I will do nothing for a long time but listen, To accrue what I hear into myself, to let sounds contribute toward me.
- Walt Whitman
I love having alone time and enjoying my own company. It's so delightful to spend a few moments with you and do something solely for your own happiness.
I think we are so obsessed with the material possessions that we are losing on our human touch and getting away from our inner souls.
Connecting with your own self is essential because it allows you to recover, heal from within and move forward in life.
We all need some solitude because when we are alone we are away from all obligations we don't need to put on a show. We can be who we want to be, the genuine, the real.

Do you know that we can create beautiful external realities for ourselves that match with our inner harmony?

Sit In Your Terrace And Sip Your Coffee
Whenever you feel overwhelming, the best thing to do is to get some fresh air.
Terrace or balcony is a great place to be alone. You can drink your coffee while enjoying some scenic views and fresh air. Let the cool breeze sweeps through your hair.
Sitting alone keeps you in tune with your inner self. Take a sip, gaze all around you and revel at the moment.

Strolling around is a delightful way to enjoy your own company. Go out for a walk in the park and enjoy the serenity and calmness.
When you are walking alone, many new ideas come into your mind. Trust me I picked up all my blog post topics, while I am taking my daily walk.
On top of that, you will get many health benefits from walking daily while spending some quality time with you.
Make A Breakfast For You
Cooking is the best self-indulgence. For me, cooking is the best way to relax, unwind and feel good.
Go into your kitchen, crack eggs in a bowl, beat them well, add chopped onions, tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
Put some butter in the pan, when its hot add egg mixture and cook on low heat on both sides.
Make tea on the other stove by boiling some water with tea powder. Add milk and let it boil for a few minutes. Then pour in a cup, add sugar.
Now your breakfast is ready. Serve omelet with bread and a cup of tea. Yes, you made it and that too in a jiffy. Now savor it. This is my go-to breakfast recipie, you can treat yourself with any delicious breakfast of your choice.
Wear Your Favourite Outfit
Open your wardrobe, pick your most favorite dress. Wearing your favorite outfit makes you feel awesome, comfy and powerful. You don't need to have a fancy collection of dresses, all you need is to choose something that suits on you.
Pick your favorite color. Bright colors lift your mood up. When you wear an outfit of your choice, you feel more confident. Stand before the mirror and admire the person you are seeing. The person you are looking into the mirror is the most beautiful person in your life.
Write Down Your Thoughts
One great way to connect with your authentic self is to write down your feelings on paper.
Write a diary about your daily routine or anything that is going into your mind.
Writing about yourself gives you a chance to understand your emotions and feelings better.
Seek Pleasure In Reading
Another good way to enjoy your alone time is to read books. The reading of good books is one of the life-giving pleasures that you can have. There are books to suit all our moods.
One of the great advantages of reading is that you do not have to depend upon other people for pleasure. Indeed when a good book is giving us the delight of its company the presence of human companions may seem an intrusion.
Discover Who You Are?
How much do you know about yourself? Here is a simple way to know more about you.
Grab a paper book and make a list of your favorite persons in your life. Then make lists of favorite places that you have visited, favorite activities that make you feel happy.
Then write about your future goals that you want to achieve in your life. Self-knowledge can harness your energy for great things to happen to you.

Make Your Alone Time More Productive By Picking Good Hobbies
Another awesome way to enjoy your leisure time is to cultivate good hobbies that add value to your life and make it more enjoyable.
Hobbies give you a much-needed break from the daily grind and help you to indulge in an activity that is both fun and meaningful.
You can choose any hobby that aligns with your personal goals. Like if fitness is your priority, then running, walking and hiking are good ideas for you.
For creative people writing, painting and sketching would be a perfect choice. Some other productive hobbies are gardening, cooking, designing, knitting, traveling and others.
Picking up a new hobby in life is a great way to challenge yourself, connect with your own self and enjoy living in the moment. Being open to learning and trying new things helps you to come out of your comfort zone and grow.
Be Kind To Yourself
Kindness is not confined to others. Be kind to yourself by taking care of your mental wellbeing. Avoid toxic people, places and situations that drain your energy.
Set boundaries, learn to say no, avoid extremes in life. Don't waste your time on something that is not adding any value to your life.
Be softer, kind, and more loving with you. Inculcate love within you and cherish every moment. After all, it's all about you.
