HAPPY SUNDAY

first of all it’s almost February. It’s the end of the month already and I cannot believe it. Everything is going too fast.

I wanted to continue my building perspective series this week; and with that being said, one of the most important aspects to building that new perception or view on your life is finding peace within being independent. Being comfortable and enjoying your own company is a huge contributor to healing your relationship with yourself. It builds strength, self-guidance, self-worth, and self-love.

I feel like it will always be a growing process: being okay with being by yourself.

We are constantly changing. and with that the world is constantly changing. I’ve realized that there is no end to our growth. We are learning as we go and there won’t be a moment where we are finished with that. I find that kind of relieving. Knowing there will always be something more for us. Something, someone to look up to. A new goal. It’s just part of life.

Being in your own company and being okay with that is seriously inspiring to me. It glows on others when they aren’t scared to just be by themselves or think of the judgement of being in their own company. I find a lot of strength in that. And it motivates me to try to get to that level.

Having an extroverted side to me, it’s hard to remove myself from social situations when sometimes my body is telling me to rest. I love being around people and I love socializing, but we all need our time alone to rest, rejuvenate and be personally productive. And what I mean by that is to accomplish personal goals, little things that will just make us feel better in our own shoes, homes, and places of rest.

Being independent and being okay doesn’t just mean spending time alone in your home space either. I hope it didn’t come off that way. Rewarding yourself by taking yourself out for breakfast, going for coffee, going for a walk, reading a book… It’s about spending time finding the things you like to do and the way you accept doing it alone. It’s about accomplishing things by yourself, focusing on your own self and goals and how you can feel okay in your own skin.

I know a lot of people struggle to find peace with taking time by themselves. It gets eerie when you aren’t inserting yourself in social situations. I used to find that hard. Always having FOMO. but then I learned how much happier I was when I took moments here and there to myself and allowed to grow independently.

As hard as it looks, just know it gets easier and I hope you are able to take time to work on growing that inner peace to being independent. Inner healing and self-love is the process to our happy glow.

STAY KIND:)

with love,

Grace
