Sometimes, we crave our alone time. It gives us a much-needed opportunity to recharge our batteries and unwind from everyday stress. It’s also a great time to check in with ourselves and examine what we need to feel good and mentally and emotionally healthy.

Spending time alone helps us get to know ourselves better, hear our inner voice, and develop a healthy friendship with ourselves.

1. Learn a new hobby
2. Go for a mindful walk
3. Volunteer for, or give back to, a cause you love
4. Read a book outside
5. Join a yoga or workout class
6. See a daytime movie
7. Binge watch an exciting Netflix series
8. Bake something delicious for yourself
9. Meal prep for your week ahead
10. Start journaling
11. Take an online course
