Be Alone

This year I challenge you to be okay with being alone. Take time yourself. Figure out who you are. Who you want to be and where you are headed. Clear your mind. Clear your life. Examine yourself and see if you are being true to you. 

Get rid of the things causing you unhappiness. Rid yourself of the relationships holding you back. The relationships which are leading you down a path that you don't want to be a part of. Stop putting so much time and heart into relationships that don't have your best interest in mind. Whether those relationships be romantic or platonic. 

Don't text people who don't respond. Stop dwelling on relationships that haven't worked out. Say no to people who treat you badly. Don't pick up the phone just because you are feeling alone. It's okay to be alone. 

Alone. Everyone is so scared to be alone. But, why? Being alone let's you get to know yourself. Learn to love yourself more. We long so badly to feel wanted. Want yourself. In the midst of longing for someone else we forget about ourselves. We tend to not put time into our body, mind and soul. We should truly love ourselves and not base our every emotion on what someone else does. 

You have heard all your life to love your self, but at what point do you actually start doing that? After you have already lost your way because of the friends you're surrounding yourself with or the guy/girl you're pursuing? Just stop. Stop worrying about having a boyfriend or girlfriend. What happens if you are called to singleness and never marry? You will have spent you're whole life searching and feeling sorry for yourself because you don't have someone to cuddle with at night... or even worse... giving your heart to people who don't deserve it. 

I challenge you to be alone and be the best self you can be. Go get a pedicure by yourself or grab a coffee and enjoy the presence of you. You will learn so much about yourself and when you finally, truly love yourself you will able to spread that love to the world. 

xoxo,
