Prior to coming into the New Year many of us had our minds set on our own goals, purpose and intentions. However, 2020 had other plans for us that has now affected the entire world. Many have experienced job losses, been affected by the virus, had loved ones to pass away during this time; so much has happened, and we are only in the second quarter of the year.
Despite the bad that has happened covid-19 and being quarantined has also allowed many of us the opportunity to slow down, spend much needed time with our family and evaluate our lives by refocusing on what’s most important to and for us.
During my time of solitude, I took some time to reset and realign as it relates to my personal growth. However, none of this would not have happened if I was not comfortable with my own company.
What I mean by this is learning how to enjoy being alone; being comfortable with your own energy, vibrations and thoughts. You are the one person you can never get away from therefore, it’s important to love on yourself as much as possible. Because before we can extend love to others, we must first extend it to ourselves.
Even if you are surrounded by loved ones, it’s important to take some time to yourself to think, evaluate, plan, or just “be” while enjoying your own company.
10 Ways to Become Comfortable with Your Own Company….
