HOME ALONE!!!!

"Sometimes you need to give yourself a break when you’ve had a lot of life change.”

This is a very famous quote written by Barbara Freethy. In fact, this quote caught my attention and made me realize that we are so pleased with our work that we fail to hardly take time for ourselves. Do you fall into this category of a workaholic, too? Uh, well, me too! Being occupied with work and studies, I did not have enough time for myself but finally today I got the chance to get my own personal time. And do you know what I learned today??  You don't need friends or a partner all the time to enjoy your day. So what if you're single? So what if you don't have a lot of friends? And what if you don't have the money to go out? You can also enjoy your life by staying at home. And that's what I am going to share today! How to enjoy your day at home all alone :D

   

  

It was 8:00 a.m. in the morning, the door is locked and there is no noise. I was in my bedroom, my own bedroom, the lights turned perfectly low with no one else around. woooo! It's Friday morning. The relief felt as genuine as the drugs that took me to paradise. I woke up and opened my curtains. The morning sunshine was on the empty window, making it brighter. I sat down, pulled my legs out of bed, and rubbed my knuckles on my eyes. I stretch arms above my head and yawned. I watch my legs dangle over my fuzzy rug. Thinking about the day and planning in my mind about where to start and how to make this day beautiful.

                                             

                                                 

     

It's a Baking Time Baby!

So, I started my day with baking. Well, I am not much into baking but I will guarantee once you start doing it you will get lost. I realized, why do I need someone who can cook for me or why am I supposed to wait for someone to take me out for breakfast?. I am independent and spending time with yourself is not a bad thing it doesn’t matter whether you are committed or not, whether you have friends or not? There is no harm in spending time with you. For myself, I made delicious pancakes with hot coffee. Warm pancakes with maple syrup and hot coffee made it all the more tempting. This has been a wonderful meal for me. I loved each and every single slice.

                                                     

 Watching Movie

After having a delicious breakfast and cleaning my room, it time to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee to watch some movie!! This is an obvious thing but many of us feel guilty about watching
movies on our days off. Usually, we think of doing some productive work or not to waste the precious
free-time doing something ‘wasteful;’ or ‘lazy'. But hey! Let's get real here. What's the point of earning money or running after work if you can't even watch movies on weekends or on holidays? Well, movies are one of my secret pleasures. Thrillers or horror movies are one of my favorites. Sitting on the couch with popcorn's in front of a big TV screen lights off, curtains closed. Only me and my movie we had an amazing time no one to disturb in the middle of the movie. To be very honest, I never really regret spending a day at home watching the movie or show, especially because it always inspires me for my day-to-day creative life.
                         
                                                     

Practice or Learn a New Skill

There’s always something new that you wanted to do or learn but you could never actually get the time to do it. For me, this new skill is always dancing. After 2 hours of movie and having some nap, I tried to learn the dance on one of my favorite Bollywood song, ‘Ek Ldki ko Dekha to Aisa Lga’, I learned dance when I was in my teen but now I hardly get the time to relax and dance freely. There are some things in life that are not always our priorities, but then there are days when you are completely free and do not have to prioritize anything.
                                           
                                                   

Its time to Pamper yourself, Sweetie!

It is very important in life to pamper yourself. But how one can do it depends on a person’s personal choice. The best part for me is to put on a face mask, take a hot bath, paint your nails and meditate. There is no need to be very formal at home, it's your home and your day. You can spend your day in your pajamas. Do whatever you like to do and work on the things that you used to neglect. After spending an amazing day, I made some delicious ice cream for myself with a lot of fruits on it.

                                                           

It is often seen that we all neglect and put aside these things because they seem to waste a lot of our time. But self-care is something really important for our mental health. I often see a lot of difference that if I do not take enough time for my own self, it often leads to a lot of anxiety and stress in life because I never take a minute to just let myself relax. It is really important for me to take out sometime and indulge in pampering yourself for the day.

I hope through this article, my tips for spending a day alone at home have sparked some ideas for you. As said earlier, days at home alone are always my favorite because I get some time to spend doing the things that I often put off because I don’t get enough time or they are not just considered to be really important. But, the truth is in life we all need a good balance in life and your alone time is the best time to tip the scales in a happier direction.
