TOP TIPS

With the way things are going these days, a lot of us find ourselves spending more time alone than ever before. While some introverts may enjoy this new-founded alone time, other people are really struggling. One of the best ways to cope with these feelings of isolation and loneliness is to discover things you can do at home alone. Below you will find a list of 9 activities you can embrace when home alone.

 

1. Pamper Yourself with a Spa Day

Not every activity you do has to be directly productive. In fact, one of the most productive steps you can take is to spoil yourself. Set some mood lighting, put on some soothing music, and take a nice luxurious bath. If that's not your thing, find another way to pamper yourself.

 

2. Enjoy Your Favorite Treat

While you might not want to over-indulge in your favorite treats, there is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself once in a while. A great way to brighten a dark day is to spoil yourself with your favorite food.

 

3. Dance Like No One is Looking

Those of us who share our dance steps with Elaine from Seinfeld might not love breaking out our moves on a crowded dance floor. When you are home alone, though, no one can see or judge you. Crank your favorite tunes, and let loose with your best dance moves.

 

4. Reflect on Your Life

Alone time is one of the best times for you to sit back and reflect on your life. You can think about what's working and what isn't. You can consider the things you like versus things you'd like to improve. Writing this in a journal is a wonderful habit to get into while spending some alone time at home.

 

5. Do a Deep Clean

Cleaning isn't exactly the most enjoyable task, but the feeling of sitting in your freshly cleaned space is wonderful. When you are home alone, you will find it's much easier to clean because no one is getting in your way or instantly undoing the hard work you have just done.

 

6. Read a Book

Reading a book, you have meant to read for a while is the perfect way to spend some alone time. You can give the book your full attention and escape into its pages. Don't get bogged down by a book you don't enjoy, though. If you aren't captivated early, consider choosing something else.

 

7. Practice or Learn a New Skill

Do you have any new skills you want to learn? II have heard of more people taking up things like baking and cross stitch in the past year than ever before. Are there any similar hobbies you'd like to start? What about an old hobby that you haven't had time for? Maybe it is time to pick it back up!

 

8. Do Something You've Been Putting Off

This might sound like a nightmare, but you likely have plenty of tasks around the house that you've been putting off. Spending your alone time addressing at least one of those tasks is sure to pay off in the satisfaction of accomplishment.

 

9. Make a Plan

If you want to lean into something more productive, why not spend some time plotting your next moves? Use your alone time to set some new goals, envision your future, and help figure out your next few steps. Every second you put into goal-setting and planning will be paid back in the long run.

 

ACTIONABLE STEPS

 

a) Brainstorm a List - Think of as many ways as possible to spoil or pamper yourself. There are no wrong answers here.

 

b) Pick a Book - Choose a book that interests you. This can be a classic you've always wanted to read, or something simpler that caught your attention.

 

c) Do It! - Don't wallow in your solitude any longer. Embrace it. Get up and do something for yourself, and only yourself, right now!
