As you probably already know by now, I’m an only child and I would very much consider myself as an introvert. I like to do things by myself and I need my alone time to recharge my energy as well. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to spend time with my loved ones but I enjoy being by myself as well. I would say I prefer being by myself more haha! There are certain things that are way more fun to do with people such as playing board games, visiting places, etc. but there are a number of things you can do by yourself without anybody. Obviously, you can do them with your loved ones but I personally find that doing these activities by yourself is much more relaxing and peaceful.
Comme vous le savez probablement déjà, je suis enfant unique et je me considérerais vraiment comme un introverti. J’aime faire les choses par moi-même et j’ai besoin de mon temps pour me ressourcer aussi. Ne vous méprenez pas, j’aime passer du temps avec mes proches, mais j’aime aussi être seule. Je dirais que je préfère être seule plus haha! Il y a certaines choses qui sont beaucoup plus amusantes à faire avec les gens comme jouer à des jeux de société, visiter des lieux, etc. mais il y a un certain nombre de choses que vous pouvez faire par vous-même sans personne. Évidemment, vous pouvez les faire avec vos proches, mais je trouve personnellement que faire ces activités par vous-même est beaucoup plus relaxant et paisible.

BLOGGING
You might have guessed this one and it’s pretty obvious but I like to work on my blog when I’m alone. Nobody in my real life knows I have a blog so I find it more practical and easier to blog when I’m by myself. You will work way more productively by blogging by yourself than with a group of people.
Vous avez peut-être deviné celui-ci et c’est assez évident mais j’aime travailler sur mon blog quand je suis seule. Personne dans ma vraie vie ne sait que j’ai un blog donc je trouve plus pratique et plus facile de bloguer quand je suis seule. Vous travaillerez de manière beaucoup plus productive en bloguant par vous-même qu’avec un groupe de personnes.

GOING SHOPPING
I don’t know if I’m the only one but I prefer going shopping by myself. It’s much more peaceful and I can check everything in my own pace. Also, I don’t really like to spend too much time in one store. I like to use my time effectively as much as possible lol. I’ve tried it so many time and I even ended up finding some great bargains which wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t gone alone.
Je ne sais pas si je suis la seule mais je préfère aller faire les courses toute seule. C’est beaucoup plus paisible et je peux tout vérifier à mon rythme. De plus, je n’aime pas vraiment passer trop de temps dans un seul magasin. J’aime utiliser mon temps le plus efficacement possible lol. Je l’ai essayé tant de fois et j’ai même fini par trouver de bonnes affaires qui n’auraient pas été possibles si je n’avais pas été seule.

COOKING
I’m going to start off by saying I’m not a great cook and I really don’t know how to cook properly, it’s a skill that I’m yet to master but cooking alone is definitely less stressful and way more peaceful to me. I don’t have this pressure on me that somebody is looking at my every move. Obviously, if people help you cooking then it’s definitely another matter but I’m not the type of person to cook while somebody or people are there in my home. I know it’s not a problem for some people but it just makes me feel clumsier so I avoid that. Plus, when you cook by yourself, you can take your time to do every step.
Je vais commencer par dire que je ne suis pas une excellente cuisiniere et que je ne sais vraiment pas comment cuisiner correctement, c’est une compétence que je n’ai pas encore maîtrisée mais cuisiner seule est certainement moins stressant et bien plus paisible pour moi. Je n’ai pas cette pression sur moi que quelqu’un regarde chacun de mes mouvements. Évidemment, si les gens vous aident à cuisiner, c’est définitivement une autre affaire, mais je ne suis pas le genre de personne à cuisiner pendant que quelqu’un ou des gens sont là chez moi. Je sais que ce n’est pas un problème pour certaines personnes, mais cela me rend juste plus maladroite alors j’évite cela. De plus, lorsque vous cuisinez vous-même, vous pouvez prendre votre temps pour faire chaque étape.

EXERCISING
I’ve never tried working out or exercising with people before. I would say my PE lessons were the only times I did any sort of physical activity amongst other people and I completely hated it. I can’t really see myself doing yoga, meditation or even exercises next to someone. Maybe it’s something I should try but I would highly recommend you to work out by yourself. It’s way easier and more practical in my opinion.
Je n’ai jamais essayé de m’entraîner ou de faire de l’exercice avec des gens auparavant. Je dirais que mes cours d’éducation physique étaient les seules fois où je faisais une activité physique avec d’autres personnes et je détestais complètement cela. Je ne me vois pas vraiment faire du yoga, de la méditation ou même des exercices à côté de quelqu’un. Peut-être que c’est quelque chose que je devrais essayer, mais je vous recommande fortement de faire des exercices par vous-même. C’est beaucoup plus facile et plus pratique à mon avis.

EXPLORING
Last but not least, exploring places! Obviously, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go or explore new places and it will probably be better to check out those places with a loved one before you decide to go on your own. But I really like to go to places by myself and what I refer by places, it’s parks, museums, libraries, etc. Visiting those places by myself always give me a sense of calmness and peace. I feel much more peaceful and energised afterwards as well!
Enfin, explorer des lieux! Évidemment, je ne recommanderais à personne d’aller ou d’explorer de nouveaux endroits et il sera probablement préférable de visiter ces endroits avec un être cher avant de vous décider à partir seul. Mais j’aime vraiment aller dans des endroits par moi-même et ce que je veux dire par endroits, ce sont des parcs, des musées, des bibliothèques, etc. Visiter ces endroits par moi-même me donne toujours un sentiment de calme et de paix. Je me sens aussi beaucoup plus paisible et énergique par la suite!

I love that you put going shopping first as your number 1, I have to agree!
It’s actually the second one but I definitely love going shopping on my own! 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for reading ❤️
Thank you so much for this. I struggle with being alone. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but I’m used to being alone around people. Idle hands are the devils playground and I find myself doing things out of frustration when I am alone that are not productive to the life that God has called me to lead. I will definitely be working on my blog more in my alone time. 🤗 I feel that I write better than I speak anyhow. Thank you so much for inspiring me. Have a blessed day!
My pleasure lovely! Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ You too xx

Alone time is so crucial sometimes! Lovely post 😊
Thank you my love! ❤️
I love my alone time too! Going places alone is also one of my favorites. I kick the boyfriend out of the kitchen while I cook, it helps clear my mind. Great post!
Haha I can’t stand anyone when I’m cooking! Thank you so much hun ❤️
Love, love, love this!!💕💕Even me I enjoy shopping by myself, well most things I like to do by myself. We are quite similar 🧡😄 xx
Thank you so much babe! ❤️ xx
I love this! Sometimes we have to break from the grind, clear our mind and enjoy that “me time”. I love exploring places alone as well, so when I get lost, it’s a less stress not worrying much about others on how to get back. Once in a week, I make sure to have my “me time”, awaaaaaaaay from stressors! 🙂
Same!! I need my alone time 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for reading gorgeous ❤️
What you said about cooking cannot be overemphasized…. Some of the best meals I have made happened when I was in the kitchen alone. Cooking alone gives me an unexplainable relief.
This is a great blog post 🙂
Thank you so much lovely! ❤️
I love to take rides into the country side by myself to explore. I love to find an ouyt of the way spot and just sit and take it in.
That sounds so peaceful and relaxing! Thank you so much for reading 😊
It surely is.
Love this
Thanks so much! ❤️
J’aime beaucoup cette écriture, il y a les choses tu as mentionné que j’aime bien faire seule comme l’exercice et aller faire le courses.
Merci beaucoup ☺️
I was an only child for eight years. My favorite past time was working jigsaw puzzles. I still enjoy them when I have the time. Great Post! Blessings and Peace.
I love them too! Thank you so much love ❤️
I’ve never been one to go shopping by myself and I’m not sure why, I think it’s because I feel awkward being out and about alone but I know many people who love and appreciate being able to do stuff like that alone! 🙂

I used to feel that way as well when I was a teen but now, it’s the complete opposite! I like going shopping with people but there is something special when I go by myself. I can take my time and I find it so relaxing. Thank you so much for reading hun ❤️
Museums! Yes to that.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Blogging and writing also my favorite to sooth my mind and just relaxx
I know right! Thank you so much for reading ❤️
I totally agree with this list, but why don’t people in your real life know about your blog? Why do you like to keep it a secret?
It’s just that my blog is my personal space and I would like to keep it that way. I don’t want to mix my personal life and blog together if that makes sense. Thank you so much for reading 😊
I definitely prefer shopping on my own!
It’s so relaxing isn’t it?! ❤️
“Nobody in my real life knows I have a blog so I find it more practical and easier to blog when I’m by myself. You will work way more productively by blogging by yourself than with a group of people.” – I can relate to this 😀
