Being happy in solitude can be difficult if you don’t know how to do it. For instance, maybe you can’t be alone because you feel lonely or have mental health issues. Here are a few ways to find happiness in solitude.

Have a Positive Mindset

Your thoughts create your inner world. Therefore, if you’re positive, you’ll feel better about yourself. You can repeat positive affirmations to yourself, smile more often, or do something you genuinely enjoy. If you feel negative, try to find creative ways to be positive.

Just Be Yourself

Being yourself means being able to express your feelings healthily and living a life that fits your personal beliefs. For example, you can smile, laugh, cry, or get angry when you feel like doing so. Further, if you desire to attend church, go bungee jumping, or advocate for human rights, you can do this. You can also do a favorite hobby if this is what you enjoy doing.

Practice Spirituality

Spirituality can help you have hope, feel safer and less alone, and have peace of mind. Prayer, meditation, and yoga are spiritual techniques you can do regularly. Spiritual techniques could help ease depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, diabetes, and other health problems. When life becomes too difficult to bear, spirituality can lift your spirits.

Take Care of Your Health

You can live a healthier lifestyle by adding fruits and vegetables to your diet, exercising a few times a week, and having healthy relationships. A few ways to get some exercise include doing a sport, going for walks, living an active lifestyle, and hiking in the mountains. You can commit to better health by writing down a plan and holding yourself accountable.

Try Arts and Crafts

You can keep your mind distracted from negativity by doing a creative activity. A few examples are drawing, painting, knitting, calligraphy, woodworking, clay sculpture, and more. You can learn arts and crafts using tutorials, taking a class, or reading an instruction book. Instead of aiming for perfection, have fun with creativity.

Spend Time with Pets

Pets can be a nearly perfect substitute for people, especially if you dislike solitude. They can be your best friend and constant companion. You can take your dog for a walk or watch your cat play with a toy. Alternatively, you can cuddle next to your dog, and watch the sunset in the evening. If you don’t have a pet, you can foster or adopt one to give an animal a loving home.

Be Grateful for Nature

Many people don’t take enough time out of their days to appreciate nature. You can be more grateful for it by planting a native garden, going birdwatching, taking photographs, or drawing objects from nature in an art journal. Besides this, try doing your everyday activities outside. This might be reading, doing yoga, getting homework done, or washing clothes.

Do Good Deeds

You can do good deeds even when you’re alone. You can volunteer online, write a letter, plant a tree, or do something else you enjoy. Volunteering can improve your mental health, happiness, and physical health. Improving someone else’s life benefits them and you. Your life will be more meaningful, and you’ll feel like a better person.

Write a Journal

Writing can be a healing activity. If you feel negative, you can write down your feelings to release tension. You can do creative writing, or jot down a few things you’re grateful for each day. Another way to use a journal is by filling it up with inspiring quotes or artwork.

Read a Book

Sometimes the only way to forget about reality is to escape by using your imagination. You can do this by reading a favorite book or a new one. A few topics you can read about are self-help, fantasy, romance, science fiction, biographies, or whatever sounds interesting. Head to the library to check out a free book, or purchase one at a book store.

More Ideas:

 1. Some people take life too seriously. You can avoid this by having a healthy sense of humor. For example, find something to laugh at, such as a comedy movie or comic book.

 2. If you don’t like living in a quiet environment, put on your favorite music. In addition to this, you can download an app with soothing sounds from nature.

 3. Don’t give up on finding happiness in solitude. After all, it can take time to adjust to a different lifestyle. Just relax and be accepting f the things you can’t change.

If you still can’t stand to be alone, you might want to consider speaking to a trusted therapist. He or she can give you simple steps to take to improve your quality of life. Taking care of yourself is essential for your health and well-being.
