I found that if I want to be happy, it would be my own doing. Happiness is an interior process and comes without validation from others, and to me this is something that is a lesson to be relearned each day.
Spending small moments of time alone—sans phone, tablet, laptop, TV, and radio—allows one to really tune in. The more time I spend alone, the more comfortable I become in my own skin because I can truly get to know myself.
There are all sorts of things we can do to enjoy our alone time, some of them very simple. I enjoy my shower, my books, a bowl of mashed potatoes, rooftop stargazing, and the scenic drives, hikes and kayaking trips, all without communication to the exterior world. This helps me to just "be."
