EMBRACING YOUR OWN COMPANY

Let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like you’re the one always reaching out, planning coffee dates or suggesting plans. And when it’s not reciprocated, it can sting. Other times, your friends simply aren’t free to hang out, or you might not have a big circle urging you to go out. But here’s the truth: that’s okay. You don’t have to wait for anyone to enjoy life. 



Stop exhausting yourself trying to make plans with people who don’t match your energy. You are enough to be your own best friend and create moments of joy that are all about you.


Letting Go of the Pressure to Be the Planner

If you’re tired of always being the one arranging plans, give yourself permission to stop. Take a step back and ask yourself: What do I want to do today? Instead of focusing on who will or won’t show up, focus on how you can show up for yourself. You’ll find that there’s something wonderfully empowering about not relying on others to create joy in your life.


Discovering the Joy of Solo Adventures

Spending time alone helps you connect with what truly brings you joy—your favourite activities, your own pace, and your unique preferences. Whether it’s:

Catching that movie you’ve been dying to see (and enjoying all the popcorn yourself).

Treat yourself to coffee and croissants at Starbucks with a good book.

 Take a shopping trip where you can browse for as long as you like without feeling rushed.

Going on a look walk with your favourite podcast or playlist.


Making Space for Reflection and Growth

When you embrace your own company, you create space to truly reflect. What are your goals? What makes you happy? What’s next on your journey? Whether it’s journaling your thoughts at a park bench or simply sitting with your coffee in peace, these moments help you stay grounded and connected to yourself.

You might even discover new hobbies or passions you’d never explored before. Always wanted to try a Crochet class? Book it! I just have :) .Curious about running? Lace up your shoes and go.


Turning Alone Time Into Self-Love

Solo time isn’t about being lonely—it’s about showing yourself the same love and care you’d give to others. It’s saying, “I deserve to enjoy life, just as I am.” Every small gesture—whether it’s taking yourself out for lunch, exploring the sales, or just relaxing at home with a movie—is a gift you give to yourself.


You Are Enough

In a world that often encourages us to seek validation outside ourselves, embracing your own company is a radical act of self-love. The next time you feel like waiting for someone to join you, remind yourself that you’re already enough.

  3. I know some people who go into social withdrawal if they're not part of a group for five minutes, but I actually LOVE being alone.

  5. I am one of those people that quite enjoy their own company. I get up to all sorts on my own from watching tv, cooking, even eating out. It's a great way to relax without pressures of constantly pleasing others.
