Fabulous post, Thank You! All these points are great and not only for people living alone, for everyone who wants to find happiness. I would add one more to your excellent list, a secret I’ve found of the truly happy – reaching out to help others, finding a cause, a purpose, a deeper meaning.
To ne honest. I really don’t like being alone. But sometimes it is going to happen. Mindset really does play a huge roll and there are plenty of ways to have fun on one’s own especially following hobbies that you love!
I have lived alone due to work exigencies and have realized that I love my company. Agree with all the pointers you have shared. I love reading and spend most of my alone time doing that. Being out in the nature for a walk works wonders for my mental state too.
Learning to live alone comfortably is important–even if we live with our families, we still need time off to be by ourselves, doing things we enjoy and looking after ourselves. I know many people who find it challenging to enjoy their own company. 🙂
I specially love the point on being self-sufficient. It is an important life skill to have when living alone. Along with keeping all emergency numbers within reach. Living alone can be very liberating and empowering and I thing almost everyone should try to live alone atleast once.
