learning to enjoy time alone.

foreign I would class myself as an independent person and I love my own company but I never do things by myself because I just feel stupid over the next weekend we're going to be doing things alone I'm taking a gap year so I finished my a levels and a lot of my friends went off to University I don't know I just found that there's been so much time spent by myself I did a ski season and then I came back and it's like what is there to do if I can't do things by myself so I'm going to show to myself I can do things by myself and I'm going to go to London tomorrow oh it's kind of daunting Independence oh I found the spot that we're going to base ourselves I think so many people over complicate journaling and don't know where to start with it and I'm gonna give you my top tips so first thing get comfy they always start with gratitude you you can't what's the word you can't attract things into your life if you're not grateful of what you've already got in your life I don't remember if I saw this on Pinterest or on Tick Tock I probably saw on Tick Tock when you start looking at the good in your life more good comes into your life because you're focusing on the good I sound like a positive mantra but it's true I write three things every day that I'm grateful for so we're gonna spend some time journaling now grab your journals let's get writing [Music] thank you I've written my three bits of gratitude for the day I literally love it like it changes your life [Music] it don't want to go home [Music] I reckon I could probably set up and make it a spot to see the rain [Music] thank you the weather has clearly drastically changed in the span of a few hours I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent by myself actually spent some time alone without your phone and literally taking your surroundings it was a form of meditation gonna have a self-care night and now the rain's even adding to the um is it the ambience the rain's adding to the ambience who knows but Dr jart Dr jar is that how you pronounce them sent me these face masks which look terrifying what I'm so curious to try it out like am I gonna look like I have a rubber baby on my face is that or is it just a face mask we're gonna do that tonight light some candles listen to some Montell fish we're listening to montellfish every day of the week recently I love a bit of destroyed myself just for you yeah we've obviously got London tomorrow we have a bigger day to do by myself but I have done it before my management are based in London so most of the time I am traveling up to see them but yeah today was a good start just taking in my surroundings I don't really know I don't really know what I'm trying to say [Music] it's so haunted never mind no longer spending time by yourself next can't be left alone foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] that was thoroughly enjoyable shopping is not really something I've thought to do before I think that's an activity that's usually much better when you have company and when you're doing it with friends but I think I've got a new lease for life now do I actually no I definitely did enjoy it it just feels weird you don't have the opinion of anyone else when you're buying clothes but I had my headphones on the whole time it's really not that revolutionary but I enjoy myself I don't know I feel like I can make my weeks much busier now because I don't have to be dependent on other people if you want to go shopping go shopping by yourself you want to go do something go do it by yourself I thought I'd do a quick mini haul showing what I got from Brandy I love it I can't help it I love it first up I got the classic gray joggers which I never thought would fit my legs because I've got really long legs and they are a perfect fit I got this black dress she's gorgeous oh she's got a hair on her she's gorgeous but she's so short I think it's gonna have to be a bikini I don't really know if she's it's very very short but we can work with it and then lastly I don't know they just have the best Basics so I got this plain black t-shirt which I've bought about three of in the past and they've all turned gray in the wash yeah I'll continue to waste my money buying them [Music] we are reversing back in the car this time from the passenger seat which is really far back today's alone activity is going on a walk I have come to a field and I'm literally going to spend the next I don't know the next few hours walking because my only job is social media right now I think it's so easy to get caught up online all my stresses are to do with my phone which is quite ironic because I'm literally filming to a camera right now but I find that doing things where you're actually taking your brain away from a screen it does sound so typical but it actually works spend even 20 minutes going on a walk you'll come back with a clearer mindset on anything actually sweating I can't sit here much longer okay we've got an affair so I've acquired a meal deal it was actually a really dodgy Choice today we've gone for skips and a tuna sandwich I feel like that is quite questionable but we're by ourselves so nothing matters [Music] yeah after that I'm going home I'm genuinely done I'm not even gonna walk anymore that was a really humbling experience this is why I don't do things alone I fell out of tree it's humbling and I think on that note I'm ready to end spending time by myself I actually have really enjoyed myself this week I think obviously you spend time by yourself every day but for me personally I wasn't really doing things by myself I was more kind of waiting round for people to be free to actually go out and do activities with me activities go out and do things with me even when everyone's away at Uni doing their own thing I can still go out make the most of my days before I'm at Uni before I'm doing that same thing as them I don't really know how to end it thank you so much for watching my first YouTube video scared I filmed like a million of these and I've just never posted them I was getting a few comments on my Tick Tock saying post them and if you've got to this point thank you so much for watching all the way to the end I'm sweating thank you so much
