If you loathe spending time alone, you’ll have a harder time being happy without friends. Make a commitment to start loving your alone time by spending it doing exciting activities.  For instance, if you tend to think spending time alone is boring, come up with a list of  fun activities you can do alone. Your list might include going to a concert, binge-watching a TV show, creating a DIY home project, starting a scrapbook, planting a garden, reading a book you have always wanted to read, and exploring new parts of your city or town. Each time you’re alone, use that time to cross something off your list. Over time, you’ll start to enjoy time spent alone. The secret to a happy, fulfilling life is spending your days doing what you love. So, use your days to pursue your passions and interests. Think about ways you can add these activities to your daily life. For example, if you enjoy playing the piano, you might join a band or volunteer to play at your church. If you like writing, you might attempt to complete your first short story or novel. Some people have a tendency to shy away from difficult things, but challenges actually help us to grow and enjoy life. Take a look at your life and find small ways to kick things up a notch. For example, if you have been doing the same workout routine for a year, switch things up by signing up for a new class or trying a new workout regimen. Having something to look forward to is necessary to lead a satisfying life. Goals help give you a sense of direction in life and motivate you to keep pushing forward. Plus, once you cross the finish line, you’ll feel more accomplished and self-assured.  Think of something you have put off in the past. Set a small, actionable goal relating to it and start working towards it today. For example, maybe you want to save money to travel the world. You’ll need to figure out how much money the trip requires and then devise a plan to save it within a given time-frame. Use some of your spare time to figure out the least expensive way to do this. Stay busy and engaged with life by acting like a beginner in everything you do. Sign up for a class or read a book in which you can learn something completely new or even challenge old ways of thinking. For instance, you might explore religious principles different than your own, learn a new language, get a part-time job in an interesting industry, or listen to music or read books from a different genre.
