By Joann ‘JoJo’ Venant Rediscovering Yourself Spending time alone encourages selfreflection. Who are you when no one's watching? What dreams have been shelved, waiting for the "right time"? Embrace solitude as a time to: 1. Revisit Old Hobbies: Remember that painting kit you bought but never used? Or the journal you intended to write in? Now's the time! 2. Discover New Passions: Ever wanted to try meditation or a new fitness routine? Dive in without reservations. 3. Reconnect with Nature: Take walks, feel the earth under your feet, and appreciate the world's beauty without distractions.
In your journey of relationships, don't forget the most important one - the one with yourself.
