99 Things to Do By Yourself — How to Have Fun Alone

Do you dread being home alone?

Do you feel bored when there’s no TV, no internet and can’t possibly think of anything you can do with your time?

Does it get worse if your friends or family can’t spend time with you and you’re left alone?

You feel lonely right?

Well, I hate to break it to you but you’re not alone.

Jokes apart, there’s someone with you. You.

Just like you play games and activities, talk with other people, you should be able to do the same with yourself.

Spending time with people is bad for you. When you spend time with people, you dedicate that time to making them feel better, which makes you feel better but what you don’t realize is that the more you spend time with them, the more you’re ignoring yourself.

And when you ignore yourself you ignore your problems, your needs, your priorities, and your life, which is going to make your life worse not better. It starts with small things.

I’m also sure there are times your friends take to do their own things, which makes you feel bad because you can’t think of anything else to do.

Well, you should find your own thing and it doesn’t even have to be a hobby.

It could just be spending time alone in a way that allows you to know yourself more, give yourself attention, practice self-care, and increase your self-confidence.

Because when you know yourself, you love yourself and you believe in yourself that’s what confidence is and when you do that you will be able to do anything and your life will turn around.

That’s what my life did and the more I do it, the more I love it and the more i love me. That’s what will happen to you after this, you’re going to start loving yourself, appreciate yourself, and improve your whole wellbeing.

In this article, I’m going to tell you the benefits of spending time alone and 100 things to do while spending time with yourself.

Why you should spend time alone

Having alone time is crucial for your self-care routine. Even without a self-care routine, you should set aside a day all to yourself. Once or twice every month, or at least once every three months.

Spending time alone will help you learn more about yourself, your strengths, and your weaknesses and make your life a lot better just by listening to yourself.

A day sent alone is like an inventory of your life by you. You will learn a lot about yourself, your good and bad sides, your goals, your priorities and it will help you find joy and confidence within yourself and make you more independent.

Having an attachment to materialistic things is bad for you and so is having an attachment to people. Spending time alone will make you lose attachment to people.

 

Benefits of spending time alone

• Having a self-care alone day with activities that will help you put yourself first, listen to your thoughts, reset your priorities will help you set a lot of things straight and will remove so many regrets and times wasted to come.
• Having alone time will also make you explore your creative side and open up new opportunities for you. You will give out joy, relax and good things will come to you.
• Your alone day is your life-changing day because I’m going to give you 100 things you can do alone that will open paths to changing and improving your life for the better.
