Learn to love being alone, it’s a rejuvenating energy, not a drag. Keeping good company with yourself is sometimes hard because we don’t feel worthy. You don’t need others to validate you. Make your bed, for your eyes only. Cook something good for you, don’t wait for company. When I buy gifts for others, I buy two – one for them and one for me! I get something I would love, and that joy will be sensed in the receiver of your gift. Try it, it always works.
If you learn how to have fun all by yourself, you’ll be more fun with others. If you can give to yourself, entertain yourself, and be good to yourself, you’ll be more hospitable when you’re with a group. The key to being good company with others is being good company with yourself. What’s the quality of your alone time? For a lot of people, its despairing.
Alone time is not lonely time. Alone time is connection with self. We don’t spend time allowing our deepest desires to come to the surface, usually because other people are around, and we want to please them. The easiest way to lose touch with yourself is to be with people all the time. But what about the individual? Being alone can be what allows your cup to be filled before you spend time with others. Dance alone. Express joy by yourself. Travel by yourself. Enjoy it for the sake of seeing the world, for your eyes only, and relish in the moment of just giving to yourself. It’s wonderful when the person, that entity of who you are, has a chance to express itself in its own company. That unique person has wants, preferences, and desires – notice them. Get in contact with you. Keep good company with yourself. It shouldn’t be that awful to be alone.
