If the thought of alone time seems like a chore today, prove yourself wrong. Be intentional about your downtime. Hint: Ditch doom-scrolls for watercolors, and invite delight to the party. Processing emotions doesn’t always have to be a gloomy affair. Follow your curiosity. Read a book that cracks you up. Indulge in your favorite pop album. When you do, you remember that time with yourself can feel fresh, surprising, and even fun.
