When you’re anxious af and never done it before.
Did you know if you want to start travelling solo you don’t have to just pack up all your things and leave the country and backpack for 6 months alone? You can start SLOW. You don’t just have to jump into a foreign country to gain some perspective on yourself.
Do you remember that song Miss Independent by Ne-Yo well that could be YOU!
Start teaching yourself how to be comfortable with being alone, one way you can do this is
- Take yourself out for more dates and day-trips
No friends, no family, just yourself. - Speak to a stranger
This can even be the barista that serves you coffee, but have it go beyond ‘hey how’s it going’ and ‘can I get a latte’. Working as a barista so few people would actually get to know me! So I appreciate when someone does - Journal how you feel when you spend time alone
To put it in some perspective, so often I think of all the opportunities and experiences I would have missed waiting for other people to get their shit together!
