Everyone wants to be happy. Everyone knows that happiness is a choice. But just knowing is not enough you need to understand this better. Let’s know one aspect of happiness, how to be happy alone.
It’s not a rare question. Many people have this question. They ask their people, they do search on the internet How to be happy alone. But they never ask themselves the same question.
Happiness is a matter of choice as everyone says. But don’t understand. Still, they search outside for this.
There are different kinds of people so their choices are different too.
Some people like to be own their own and some people escape solitude like they are into some kind of punishment.
You need to look within the self. And ask yourself what kind of personality you are. What you want exactly. What are your choices? What makes you feel happy. Ask yourself, because it’s important to know yourself first. It’s like some people get a boom in their mood, their working capacity when they’re alone. And some people feel drained when they’re alone. They want people around them to work, to enjoy. So analyze yourself first.
So let’s know a few healthy ways to be alone and let’s get into how to be happy alone.
Don’t be dependent
We are social beings so it’s natural to look for other people to accompany us. But when you are in your time and space and still you look for another someone constantly. It means you are dependent on others for everything, even when you actually don’t need them.
I’ve seen many people who are like “Please, come with me I need to do this or that” “Please come with me I need to do certain work” sometimes it’s okay. But not always. You should know that you’re enough. You don’t need to be dependent on others for everything. Because that’s how people can use you too.
When you’ll not depend on others, you’ll be happier doing your work or anything on your own. And that will make you feel more content.
Be your own best friend
Whenever we’re going through something, sadness, or happiness, we look for other people to share all the things, to take advice from other people. And when we share we feel relaxed and there’s a lightness in the heart.
But when we’re alone and we’re going through something, we get anxious and sad. But you actually don’t need to be like that. Be your own best friend if you really want to be happy alone.
Talk to yourself, write a journal, give advice to yourself as you give advice to other people. Do whatever makes you feel happy, cook for yourself, play your favorite song, do whatever you like. Treat yourself as you’re special someone. You’ll definitely feel better.
Change your Perspective
Assume you’re at some small space in the woods and you’re alone there. Now there can be two sides to the situation.
Perception one
You’ll feel like you’re stuck somewhere. And you’re feeling like a jail. You’re suffocating and scared. You are constantly trying to get out of this place. You are fighting with your emotions, getting irritated
Perception two
You’re enjoying nature. Enjoying your alone time. Thinking about life. Your plans. Exploring the solitude. And you are accepting the fact the time is limited and you’ll be getting out of this place sooner or later so you’re just enjoying your solitude at its best.
So choose better perception to be happy alone.
Know yourself, your dreams better.
Whenever you’re surrounded by many people you don’t get enough time to think about yourself, your life. Being alone is the best time to explore yourself. Think about yourself to be happy alone.
Give some thoughts about your life. What you’re doing in life. What you’re going to do in life. Some future plans. Make a bucket list. Write down your goals.
Think about things that are bothering you. Accept them. Make a peace with them. Let go of all those things.
When you’ll acknowledge everything about yourself, you’ll feel content and happy.
At the end of the day, loneliness is just a mindset and a perception.
