Poor self-awareness, insecurities and codependency are the perfect mix for a lot of damage and when we fill our time by spending time with other people (family, friends, partners, etc.) we don’t have time or space to sit alone with ourselves, realize that we have these issues and find ways to solve them. Here are some tips that helped me master the art of spending time with myself, and may also help you:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings

2. Challenge Negative Beliefs

3. Seek Support

4. Practice Self-Care

5. Set Boundaries

6. Let Go of Guilt

7. Embrace Solitude

Remember, you are worthy of love, appreciation, and empathy, and that the people around you deserve it too. By embracing your own value and nurturing your emotional well-being, you can break free from the cycle of seeking validation from others and find true fulfillment within yourself. Embrace your journey of self-discovery with compassion and courage, knowing that you are deserving of all the love and care in the world, and see how your relationships become more nurturing and expansive.
