--Ayushi Mal

"Let your mind alone, and see what happens."

"You cannot be lonely, if you like the person you are alone with."

First of all, you need to understand how important it is to spend time with yourself. It is not a luxury rather a necessity. May be you are very engaged person and you have lots of things to do. So make sure how well you utilize your time. Always remember you must be your first priority then only you can fetch others from that. As one cannot serve from an empty cup.  So, whatever you want to give others, fetch yourself with it first.  It is very important to spare some time with ownself so that we can know about us more effectively. In order to grow ourself, we need to understand our deepest desire and who we truly are and for seeking it, we need to take out some time so that we can be aware of our own originality.

There are lots of things which we can do in the alone time so that we can enhance our understanding and creativity.

There are 5 things I would suggest you to do.



Feel the nature- Sit alone on the terrace and gaze the stars and feel the wind. You always don’t need any sort of sports to keep yourself engaged but little bit of time where you can feel free and relax and observe everything as it is. Feel the moving breeze against your skin or gaze the twinkling night sky or listen to the chirping of birds. Whatever it may be, just give yourself the time to revive each little thing which you have been missing in this hustle bustle.

Go for a walk- Spending time with yourself in nature will keep us close from our true being. Walking in the nature has an ample of benefits. It not only improves our physical health but that fresh air helps in getting clarity in mind too. Walking in nature helps to relieve from stress and even helps in combating with various ailments. It brings so much peace when we are surrounded with plants and trees. 



Do Something creative- Whatever you have been longing to do from past years but somehow dodging. You can restart it right now.  If you have been thinking of painting or singing, just begin it. Give yourself the time and space so that you can blossom. Work on your hobbies that is not only going to recreate you but will make you more creative and free up your mind from stress and boredom. You will encounter a different sort of enthusiasm.



Read book- This is one of my favourite things to do in alone time. Going through a good book not only helps to get guidance but takes us away from this world. It helps to imagine more vividly. It helps us to get answers of various questions which we have been searching. We are exposed to different perspective and therefore we become more understanding.  Books are loaded with information and knowledge.



Develop skill- Once you start spending time with yourself, you will be more aware of your strengths and weaknesses.  You can develop any skills based on your job preferences.  Anything which your job may require or you have been thinking of learning in the past but somehow didn’t. Just go for it and learn any skill that will uplift your present scenario. You can even exercise, meditate or do yoga. You can even pick up any of your favourite sports.
