As I get further into the semester, I begin to find that I have less and less down time. So when I do get time alone finally I tend not to enjoy it as much as when I am with others. It\u2019s not an ideal reaction but it is truly a normal one.<\/p>\n

One thing that has really helped me ease into alone time has been hobbies, the less time I spent with all my friends and whoever else the more hobbies I discovered I had. Use the silence to read, paint, knit, draw, whatever interests you. Recently I learned how to cook by just getting some random recipes\u2019 online. Next, while you are doing these things do not check your phone. <\/strong>Checking it defeats the purpose of alone time overall. Everyone tends to get FOMO aka, Fear of missing out.<\/p>\n

Also spending time alone doesn\u2019t mean you need to spend time locked in your room or apartment, go for a walk, treat yourself to coffee, or go shopping alone. This still counts as alone time even if you aren\u2019t really alone. I find that my taste in things tends to change with the people I am with so if I am alone I find more things that I love that maybe I wouldn\u2019t think of before.<\/p>\n

Lastly, enjoy the ultimate relaxation, when you\u2019re not running around or doing things for others its quite relaxing. My favorite moments are once a week when I climb into a bubble bath with a book and some candles. So my suggestion is cancel your plans, put down the social media and texts and just hang out with yourself.
