13 Rules for Being Alone and Being Happy
Understand you’re good enough all by
yourself
Understand you’re good enough all by
yourself
You’re a valuable person, and you don’t need the approval of anyone else for that
to be true. When you’re alone, remind yourself that it’s because you choose to be. It
really is a choice.

to be true. When you’re alone, remind yourself that it’s because you choose to be. It
really is a choice.
It’s very easy to find someone to spend time with, but when you have high
standards for the people you allow into your life, you’re telling yourself that you’re
better off by yourself than with someone who isn’t a great fit for you.
Value others’ opinions, but value your own
more
Value others’ opinions, but value your own
more
Don’t ask for advice unless you truly need it. Instead, ask yourself for advice. If you
knew the answer to the problem that you have, what would it be?
Value others’ opinions, but value your own
more
Don’t ask for advice unless you truly need it. Instead, ask yourself for advice. If you
knew the answer to the problem that you have, what would it be?
That’s your answer. The more time you spend asking yourself for advice, the less
you start to need input from others. When you trust yourself to solve problems, you
become a much stronger and more confident person, and you take on challenges
that you wouldn’t have felt capable of before.
Learn to be an observer
Learn to be an observer
To truly enjoy being alone, learn to look at ordinary situations in new and unfamiliar
ways. Go to the park and watch people play with their children or their dogs. Go to
the grocery store and watch how people shop for their groceries.

Everywhere you go, make an effort to understand the other people around you.
Learning how people operate when they think no one is watching will make you feel
more connected to them.
Close your eyes in a dark room and appreciate the silence
Close your eyes in a dark room and appreciate the silence
The world is a busy place and, unless you take a moment to step away from it once
in a while, it’s easy to forget how nice it is to simply sit alone and enjoy your own
company.
Close your eyes in a dark room and appreciate the silence
The world is a busy place and, unless you take a moment to step away from it once
in a while, it’s easy to forget how nice it is to simply sit alone and enjoy your own
company.
Take a moment and sit quietly in a dark room. Listen to everything that is not
happening around you. You can learn a lot about yourself in the moments when
you’re least occupied—the times when there is nothing to distract you from the
thoughts and feelings you deny yourself during your busy days.
Learn how to talk to yourself
Learn how to talk to yourself
Every single person has an inner voice that talks to them at all hours of all days,
and getting to know that person and how to talk to them is one of the most
important things you can do for yourself.

Every single person has an inner voice that talks to them at all hours of all days,
and getting to know that person and how to talk to them is one of the most
important things you can do for yourself.
When you fill your time with other people, it’s easier to ignore this voice, but when
you’re alone, it’s your only company. This voice rubs off on you. It is you. The way
that you talk to yourself when no one else is around will shape who you are in this
world more than anything else.

Just like you’d distance yourself from negative friends who bring you down, it’s just
as important to distance yourself from a negative inner voice.
When you’re alone, it can sometimes be hard to stay positive, but you must be kind
to yourself.
Cherish every interaction
Cherish every interaction
Most people have to experience some type of tragedy before they begin to
understand just how brief our time here is. You get but a few short trips around the
sun, and then it’s over.

Time alone is important. Time alone is beautiful. But so is time spent with others.

There is no such thing as a boring person. There is no such thing as a boring
situation. If you’re ever bored, it’s because you’re not paying attention. This is a
problem with you, not with your surroundings.

Take an interest in every person that comes into your life, even if for only a second.
Listen closely to what they say. Watch carefully what they do. Try to understand
them as a person. You’ll be better for it.
Rearrange your furniture
Rearrange your furniture
When you’re alone, it’s easy to fall into a pattern. It’s easy to stagnate and feel as if
things rarely change. And when you’re alone, this is true—things rarely do change
unless you make a conscious effort to change them.

unless you make a conscious effort to change them.
The problem is that meaningful change is hard, and what’s hard rarely gets started.
To keep things moving, you have to keep things fresh. And to keep things fresh, it’s
best to look for small wins that can lead to bigger ones.

Rearranging your furniture is meaningless by itself, but it brings new life to a dull
routine, which is easy to fall prey to when you’re spending a lot of time alone.
Avoid mindless consumption
Avoid mindless consumption
When you’re alone, you have an incredible opportunity to think clearly about your
life and the direction you want to take it. In a world that’s often filled with noise,
you’ve been given quiet. This is a time to reaffirm the path that your life is on.

Are you happy and fulfilled? Should you keep doing what you’re doing? Or, are you
feeling unsatisfied? Should you change something?

Are you happy and fulfilled? Should you keep doing what you’re doing? Or, are you
feeling unsatisfied? Should you change something?
These are questions you can only answer when you take advantage of this gift of
quiet. If, instead, you fill your time with entertainment that you mindlessly
consume—TV, movies, randomly surfing the web—it will be difficult to answer these
questions. You can never devote enough attention to coming to a clear answer.
Create, create, create
Create, create, create
To create is one of the most important things you can do in your life. To create
among a sea of people (or even just one person) vying for your attention is one of
the most difficult things in life.

the most difficult things in life.
When you’re alone, the only one stopping you from creating the art, the work, that
you’re capable of is yourself. All excuses are gone. When you’re alone, you can
lose yourself in your work. When you lose yourself in your work, you can be sure
that you’re creating something truly meaningful.

Your other option is to ignore that call to create and, instead, look for temporary
comfort in things and people who will eventually leave you unfulfilled. Make use of
your loneliness.
Make plans for the future, and pursue them immediately
Make plans for the future, and pursue them immediately
It’s almost impossible to feel good about your life if you don’t have some type of
direction for it. When you meet someone, it’s usually quite easy to see if they have
a handle on their life and are happy, or if they’re wandering without aim, looking for
something to pursue.

something to pursue.
The purpose for your life doesn’t need to be complex or earth shattering. It doesn’t
have to be big or overwhelming. It only needs to be present. Once it’s there, it gets
much easier to make plans you can take action on.

Pursue these plans immediately. Don’t put them off. Don’t wait for the perfect
opportunity. Perfect never comes, and the longer you wait, the harder it is to get
started.

Maybe you want to travel the world and understand different cultures. Maybe you
want to build a massive stamp collection. It doesn’t matter what it is—pick
something you enjoy and go after it.

When you do this, two things happen. First, you gain a sense of confidence in
Go to a movie alone
Go to a movie alone
Get used to doing things alone that society says is made for two. Go to a movie by
yourself and enjoy the picture. Have a great dinner out all by yourself. Take yourself
on dates, and learn to treat yourself well.

This will be awkward at first. If you’re used to going out with others, you’ll wonder
what you should do with yourself while you’re alone. Don’t try to hide from the
discomfort. Accept it. And then laugh about it because, really, who the hell decided
that you weren’t supposed to do these things alone?
Besides, to truly enjoy these things with others, you have to learn to enjoy them
alone first.
Pursue an impractical project
Pursue an impractical project
When you’re alone, you’re free to pursue any kind of project you want in your life.
You have the freedom to be completely selfish and make no compromises about
what you do or how you do it.

Take advantage of this freedom! An important part of life is doing things that look
unwise or impractical to others. Do something that’s completely over your head.
Start something that you don’t know how to finish.

If you’re afraid, understand that this doesn’t have to be your whole life. You can
contain it to just a small part. In the piece of your life that you set aside, never, ever
allow anyone else’s advice or opinions to direct how you work.
This is something you do alone, for the benefit of no one but yourself.
Volunteer your time
Volunteer your time
If you’re a hermit when you’re alone, find others that you can be alone around. A
great way to do this—and to contribute something positive to the world—is to
volunteer your time to a cause you believe in.

Being alone and happy doesn’t mean sequestering yourself from the world. It
means being confident enough to know that you can surround yourself with people,
but not depend on them for your own happiness.

Being Alone And Being Happy

  • 1. BEING ALONE AND BEING HAPPY
  • 2. BEING ALONE AND BEING HAPPY 13 Rules for Being Alone and Being Happy
  • 3. Understand you’re good enough all by yourself
  • 4. Understand you’re good enough all by yourself You’re a valuable person, and you don’t need the approval of anyone else for that to be true. When you’re alone, remind yourself that it’s because you choose to be. It really is a choice.
  • 5. Understand you’re good enough all by yourself You’re a valuable person, and you don’t need the approval of anyone else for that to be true. When you’re alone, remind yourself that it’s because you choose to be. It really is a choice. It’s very easy to find someone to spend time with, but when you have high standards for the people you allow into your life, you’re telling yourself that you’re better off by yourself than with someone who isn’t a great fit for you.
  • 6. Value others’ opinions, but value your own more
  • 7. Value others’ opinions, but value your own more Don’t ask for advice unless you truly need it. Instead, ask yourself for advice. If you knew the answer to the problem that you have, what would it be?
  • 8. Value others’ opinions, but value your own more Don’t ask for advice unless you truly need it. Instead, ask yourself for advice. If you knew the answer to the problem that you have, what would it be? That’s your answer. The more time you spend asking yourself for advice, the less you start to need input from others. When you trust yourself to solve problems, you become a much stronger and more confident person, and you take on challenges that you wouldn’t have felt capable of before.
  • 9. Learn to be an observer
  • 10. Learn to be an observer To truly enjoy being alone, learn to look at ordinary situations in new and unfamiliar ways. Go to the park and watch people play with their children or their dogs. Go to the grocery store and watch how people shop for their groceries.
  • 11. Learn to be an observer To truly enjoy being alone, learn to look at ordinary situations in new and unfamiliar ways. Go to the park and watch people play with their children or their dogs. Go to the grocery store and watch how people shop for their groceries. Everywhere you go, make an effort to understand the other people around you. Learning how people operate when they think no one is watching will make you feel more connected to them.
  • 12. Close your eyes in a dark room and appreciate the silence
  • 13. Close your eyes in a dark room and appreciate the silence The world is a busy place and, unless you take a moment to step away from it once in a while, it’s easy to forget how nice it is to simply sit alone and enjoy your own company.
  • 14. Close your eyes in a dark room and appreciate the silence The world is a busy place and, unless you take a moment to step away from it once in a while, it’s easy to forget how nice it is to simply sit alone and enjoy your own company. Take a moment and sit quietly in a dark room. Listen to everything that is not happening around you. You can learn a lot about yourself in the moments when you’re least occupied—the times when there is nothing to distract you from the thoughts and feelings you deny yourself during your busy days.
  • 15. Learn how to talk to yourself
  • 16. Learn how to talk to yourself Every single person has an inner voice that talks to them at all hours of all days, and getting to know that person and how to talk to them is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.
  • 17. Learn how to talk to yourself Every single person has an inner voice that talks to them at all hours of all days, and getting to know that person and how to talk to them is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. When you fill your time with other people, it’s easier to ignore this voice, but when you’re alone, it’s your only company. This voice rubs off on you. It is you. The way that you talk to yourself when no one else is around will shape who you are in this world more than anything else.

The way that you talk to yourself when no one else is around will shape who you are in this world more than anything else. Just like you’d distance yourself from negative friends who bring you down, it’s just as important to distance yourself from a negative inner voice. When you’re alone, it can sometimes be hard to stay positive, but you must be kind to yourself.
  • 20. Cherish every interaction Most people have to experience some type of tragedy before they begin to understand just how brief our time here is. You get but a few short trips around the sun, and then it’s over.
  • 21. Cherish every interaction Most people have to experience some type of tragedy before they begin to understand just how brief our time here is. You get but a few short trips around the sun, and then it’s over. Time alone is important. Time alone is beautiful. But so is time spent with others.
  • 22. Cherish every interaction Most people have to experience some type of tragedy before they begin to understand just how brief our time here is. You get but a few short trips around the sun, and then it’s over. Time alone is important. Time alone is beautiful. But so is time spent with others. There is no such thing as a boring person. There is no such thing as a boring situation. If you’re ever bored, it’s because you’re not paying attention. This is a problem with you, not with your surroundings.

There is no such thing as a boring situation. If you’re ever bored, it’s because you’re not paying attention. This is a problem with you, not with your surroundings. Take an interest in every person that comes into your life, even if for only a second. Listen closely to what they say. Watch carefully what they do. Try to understand them as a person. You’ll be better for it.
  • 25. Rearrange your furniture When you’re alone, it’s easy to fall into a pattern. It’s easy to stagnate and feel as if things rarely change. And when you’re alone, this is true—things rarely do change unless you make a conscious effort to change them.
  • 26. Rearrange your furniture When you’re alone, it’s easy to fall into a pattern. It’s easy to stagnate and feel as if things rarely change. And when you’re alone, this is true—things rarely do change unless you make a conscious effort to change them. The problem is that meaningful change is hard, and what’s hard rarely gets started. To keep things moving, you have to keep things fresh. And to keep things fresh, it’s best to look for small wins that can lead to bigger ones.

To keep things moving, you have to keep things fresh. And to keep things fresh, it’s best to look for small wins that can lead to bigger ones. Rearranging your furniture is meaningless by itself, but it brings new life to a dull routine, which is easy to fall prey to when you’re spending a lot of time alone.
  • 29. Avoid mindless consumption When you’re alone, you have an incredible opportunity to think clearly about your life and the direction you want to take it. In a world that’s often filled with noise, you’ve been given quiet. This is a time to reaffirm the path that your life is on.
  • 30. Avoid mindless consumption When you’re alone, you have an incredible opportunity to think clearly about your life and the direction you want to take it. In a world that’s often filled with noise, you’ve been given quiet. This is a time to reaffirm the path that your life is on. Are you happy and fulfilled? Should you keep doing what you’re doing? Or, are you feeling unsatisfied? Should you change something?
  • 31. Avoid mindless consumption When you’re alone, you have an incredible opportunity to think clearly about your life and the direction you want to take it. In a world that’s often filled with noise, you’ve been given quiet. This is a time to reaffirm the path that your life is on. Are you happy and fulfilled? Should you keep doing what you’re doing? Or, are you feeling unsatisfied? Should you change something? These are questions you can only answer when you take advantage of this gift of quiet. If, instead, you fill your time with entertainment that you mindlessly consume—TV, movies, randomly surfing the web—it will be difficult to answer these questions. You can never devote enough attention to coming to a clear answer.
  • 33. Create, create, create To create is one of the most important things you can do in your life. To create among a sea of people (or even just one person) vying for your attention is one of the most difficult things in life.
  • 34. Create, create, create To create is one of the most important things you can do in your life. To create among a sea of people (or even just one person) vying for your attention is one of the most difficult things in life. When you’re alone, the only one stopping you from creating the art, the work, that you’re capable of is yourself. All excuses are gone. When you’re alone, you can lose yourself in your work. When you lose yourself in your work, you can be sure that you’re creating something truly meaningful.
  • 35. Create, create, create To create is one of the most important things you can do in your life. To create among a sea of people (or even just one person) vying for your attention is one of the most difficult things in life. When you’re alone, the only one stopping you from creating the art, the work, that you’re capable of is yourself. All excuses are gone. When you’re alone, you can lose yourself in your work. When you lose yourself in your work, you can be sure that you’re creating something truly meaningful. Your other option is to ignore that call to create and, instead, look for temporary comfort in things and people who will eventually leave you unfulfilled. Make use of your loneliness.
  • 36. Make plans for the future, and pursue them immediately
  • 37. Make plans for the future, and pursue them immediately It’s almost impossible to feel good about your life if you don’t have some type of direction for it. When you meet someone, it’s usually quite easy to see if they have a handle on their life and are happy, or if they’re wandering without aim, looking for something to pursue.
  • 38. Make plans for the future, and pursue them immediately It’s almost impossible to feel good about your life if you don’t have some type of direction for it. When you meet someone, it’s usually quite easy to see if they have a handle on their life and are happy, or if they’re wandering without aim, looking for something to pursue. The purpose for your life doesn’t need to be complex or earth shattering. It doesn’t have to be big or overwhelming. It only needs to be present. Once it’s there, it gets much easier to make plans you can take action on.

When you meet someone, it’s usually quite easy to see if they have a handle on their life and are happy, or if they’re wandering without aim, looking for something to pursue. The purpose for your life doesn’t need to be complex or earth shattering. It doesn’t have to be big or overwhelming. It only needs to be present. Once it’s there, it gets much easier to make plans you can take action on. Pursue these plans immediately. Don’t put them off. Don’t wait for the perfect opportunity. Perfect never comes, and the longer you wait, the harder it is to get started.

Perfect never comes, and the longer you wait, the harder it is to get started. Maybe you want to travel the world and understand different cultures. Maybe you want to build a massive stamp collection. It doesn’t matter what it is—pick something you enjoy and go after it.

First, you gain a sense of confidence in
  • 42. Go to a movie alone
  • 43. Go to a movie alone Get used to doing things alone that society says is made for two. Go to a movie by yourself and enjoy the picture. Have a great dinner out all by yourself. Take yourself on dates, and learn to treat yourself well.
  • 44. Go to a movie alone Get used to doing things alone that society says is made for two. Go to a movie by yourself and enjoy the picture. Have a great dinner out all by yourself. Take yourself on dates, and learn to treat yourself well. This will be awkward at first. If you’re used to going out with others, you’ll wonder what you should do with yourself while you’re alone. Don’t try to hide from the discomfort. Accept it. And then laugh about it because, really, who the hell decided that you weren’t supposed to do these things alone? Besides, to truly enjoy these things with others, you have to learn to enjoy them alone first.
  • 46. Pursue an impractical project When you’re alone, you’re free to pursue any kind of project you want in your life. You have the freedom to be completely selfish and make no compromises about what you do or how you do it.
  • 47. Pursue an impractical project When you’re alone, you’re free to pursue any kind of project you want in your life. You have the freedom to be completely selfish and make no compromises about what you do or how you do it. Take advantage of this freedom! An important part of life is doing things that look unwise or impractical to others. Do something that’s completely over your head. Start something that you don’t know how to finish.

You have the freedom to be completely selfish and make no compromises about what you do or how you do it. Take advantage of this freedom! An important part of life is doing things that look unwise or impractical to others. Do something that’s completely over your head. Start something that you don’t know how to finish. Think of the wildest thing you’ve ever wanted to do, then take one small step towards realizing it. If you’re afraid, understand that this doesn’t have to be your whole life. You can contain it to just a small part. In the piece of your life that you set aside, never, ever allow anyone else’s advice or opinions to direct how you work. This is something you do alone, for the benefit of no one but yourself.
  • 51. Volunteer your time If you’re a hermit when you’re alone, find others that you can be alone around. A great way to do this—and to contribute something positive to the world—is to volunteer your time to a cause you believe in.
  • 52. Volunteer your time If you’re a hermit when you’re alone, find others that you can be alone around. A great way to do this—and to contribute something positive to the world—is to volunteer your time to a cause you believe in. Being alone and happy doesn’t mean sequestering yourself from the world. It means being confident enough to know that you can surround yourself with people, but not depend on them for your own happiness.
