Hello, my love. Welcome to the Busy Yet Pretty Podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. I'm so happy you're here with me today because this topic is something that I am very passionate about and I love very much, which is how to become your own best friend, solo dates and spending time alone. This is something that I feel like we could all learn more tips on because sometimes we just want to be with someone a lot or not be alone. And that's okay. It's human nature for us to want to be with somebody, but sometimes it's good to know how to be independent and enjoy being alone. So one, you don't have to rely on someone. And two, so you can actually enjoy spending time with yourself because you have you and yourself your entire life. You're the only person in this world who's going to spend your day one with you to the very end last day with you. You are the longest you'll ever spend your life with yourself. So you want to enjoy it. You're the only person who will. So you have to enjoy it. But before we get into today's episode, let's go into our weekly review. So this week, I have really just been locking into a motivated week. And this is something that I've been needing, especially for spring around the corner. I recorded an episode on

this, but it was last week's episode, but it's how to reinvent and rebrand your life. And I feel like we all have that urge to do that. And my urge came now. So I had that just like reset and I'm feeling so much more motivated, refreshed, organized. It's actually crazy how much organization can just save your life and help you. So if you're feeling stuck or in a slump, I really recommend you listening to last week's episode on that. But anyways, another thing this week is I have just been shopping for some spring wardrobe pieces. I had a little reset when it came to decluttering.

But I can't lie, the minute I'd declutter, I love to replenish what I just got rid of. And it's more of like starting a new era. And I try to lean into the minimalist mindset. And I think I do that really well when it comes to kind of like the, the mental portion, but when it comes to physical, I really just do love a lot of things and it just makes me happy. Like, I have a lot of mugs and dishes because I get so excited every morning to pick out what bowl am I going to put my breakfast in or what mug am I going to put my watch in. So doing that makes me really happy, which is why I feel like I always accidentally lean

into the maxless mindset since I just enjoy a lot of beauty and things. Another thing this week is I have been trying to just get in bed earlier. When you were in bed earlier, again, you're setting yourself up for success for the next day. Your morning routine always begins with your night routine. So I've been just trying to get in bed earlier and even enjoy like a few episodes of a show and stuff. As long as I'm in bed and not, you know, out and about. Sometimes I'm like I'm walking really late and stuff and I'm on the walking pad. I'm like, you know, I need to just like decompress and wind down my body.

So that has been really helpful. Now when it comes to the current obsessions of the week, my current obsession right now is citrus fruits. I just love seasonal spring produce. It is one of the best seasons of produce in my opinion, but I have just been really leaning into citrus, berries. It just is so nice. And then having like a few scoops of coconut yogurt on top. Oh my gosh, that combo is literally perfection. It's almost like berries and whip or like berries and whipped cream.

It's so divine. Another current up session right now has been body scrubs and body lotions. I love fragrance and I try not to use it too much just for my health. So I really use it sparingly. But when I do use fragrance, I really do enjoy it. And I just have been really enjoying some body lotions and body scrubs lately. Picking out like a body lotion or a body scrub to use in the morning or the evening whenever you do your shower just makes you excited to get in the shower.

It's almost like a little highlight. And my last cramp session right now is match a lot. lattes with pistachio milk and then adding vanilla collagen powder. That combo is another perfection thing that I have just been loving, but I am back in my macha era. I really tried to lay off of it when I was having kidney stones, but I think we're doing better now. So I'm just back on my matcha kick. That said, I am being aware and trying to have some coffee to mix it up and have some balance. Now for the goal of the week, I usually just do sculpt in Matt Pilates classes or a former classes but I really want to try doing more yoga and not just for the aesthetic of yoga because I

really do love that yoga girl aesthetic that people are trying to display right now. But more importantly, I'm loving it because it just really makes me feel so calm and at peace. And I think it's a great way to have that as like a spiritual thing and a mind-body connection rather than thinking of it as a workout. And it just helps you ground more and take things slower. Another goal the week right now for me is cooking with new proteins. I just love a good protein and I would say I eat it quite a bit. So I want to learn how to make new different proteins and even different types of fish or meats. I kind of just stick to the same things. I love a salmon. I love a turkey. I love a chicken. I love tofu. But I'd love to try to venture out and try new different proteins. But with a

sensitive stomach, it's kind of hard so it's very much a trial and air process. My IBS girls, if you know, you know. Another goal of the week right now is to declutter my phone apps. There's nothing I love more than having a clean, organized phone. Sometimes it can get so overwhelming when you just have a ton of clutter or apps, photos on your phone or messages. So it's nice to do just a little refresh, delete things, and just clear it out to have what you really need and want. And now for the affirmation of the week.

I am stepping into the most successful spring I've had so far mentally, physically, and career-wise. I love this so much. And I know I'm very spring-coated, I guess. Even early on, I feel like this is still winter right now. but I feel like we're really leaning into spring and so were you guys. So I just had to add that as the affirmation. Okay, now for the self-love question, what have I overcome that I would have been scared of last year?

I love that question to reflect on growth and just how you handle things differently. Now when it comes to the podcast review, this review says, I love this podcast so much. It's amazing when you feel down or need to pick me up. I listen to it almost every morning while making my breakfast and it helped me a lot in my day to day life.

Thank you so much. much for your review. I love how you listen to it while you make your breakfast. It just is like the perfect little morning routine, but that makes me so happy to hear. And if you want to be featured on next week's episode, make sure to leave a podcast review over Apple Podcasts and leave a rating over Spotify. Without further ado, it is time to get into today's episode. This is how to become your own best friend, solo date ideas, and just love being alone and of course romanticizing your life. Some people may think this is vague to become your own best friend or solo dates and all those talks. And all those topics. And that I feel like have been talked about subtly the past few years.

But let me remind you something. Do you really love being alone? Does spending time alone feel like a chore? Do you not know what to do when you are alone? And before we get into this, let me just preface by saying there is nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with somebody. That is beautiful. That is a part of human nature.

And it is gorgeous to want to spend time with somebody. That means you enjoy them. Or if you want to be hanging out with somebody or see somebody, or love having a significant other, whatever it is or a best friend, that's beautiful and amazing and you should be doing that. Human connection and social connection is so important, but also something just as important is learning how to spend time with yourself. So you can do both at the same time, but knowing you are capable to spend time alone in an extended amount of time, it doesn't matter how long, but knowing you can do that and

you want to do that is something that is so beautiful and sacred. and you really need to be practicing it in order to get to that point. You may be spending time with yourself on solo dates or doing these things and think, gosh, I hate spending time with myself still. That is normal and that is okay. You aren't going to love spending time with yourself overnight. It takes practice. It takes courage.

And let me just say, going out and having your own date is not always the most easy thing, being alone and having a picnic or going to a restaurant and saying, for one. Those things may feel intimidating, but I promise you, the more you do it, the easier it becomes. But when it comes to being your own best friend, let me remind you that if you are uncomfortable being alone, that is good because you have to be uncomfortable in order to grow. If you're always in your comfort zone,

you're never going to grow, you're never going to evolve. So embrace it. Embrace being uncomfortable. It's better to feel than to feel nothing at all. And let me just say that again, it is better to feel uncomfortable than feel nothing at all. Feeling and feeling emotion and feeling uncomfortable, sad, scared, like that's being alive. We want to feel those things because that reminds us, oh,

we're alive on this earth. How beautiful is it that we get to experience these emotions? Okay, now I've gotten a little deep and let's just go back to what I was saying, but stop waiting on a text or stop waiting on the plans or noise or somebody to reach out to finally feel like you're excited to do something. Start doing it yourself and learn you don't need to wait for anybody else in order to go on that trip you want to go on or go shopping. Do you. anything take yourself to that restaurant that you've been wanting to try it's all in your hands you are just like somebody else when you ask your friend do you want to go to that new cafe or that new bookstore and they say no ask yourself jaden do you want to go to this bookstore and this cafe and have a little

day out of it yes you do so don't wait on somebody else in order to go do it do it with yourself also another benefit of being your own best friend and learning to love how to be alone is you stop chasing the wrong people. You stop feeling time just to avoid a silence and you start building a life that you actually like. When you're emotionally independent, you're going to make better decisions and relationships for your friends, your significant other, your family, everything. You're going to make better decisions and know, do I really want to be doing this today? Do I really want to be hanging out with this person? Or am I just trying to fill my time? Or do I feel like I just need to be hanging out with them? You're going to be less reactive to loneliness so you're not going to start feeling lonely as

often. You may be alone, but not lonely. And lastly, you're not going to tolerate things just to avoid being by yourself. A lot of times that we put down our boundaries and put down our standards to have that company to avoid us being alone and feeling lonely. So you would be choosing people for fulfillment and actually because you enjoy being with them and not from emptiness. There is nothing more powerful than knowing that you are capable of being alone with yourself. Also, there is nothing to be ashamed about if you do feel disconnected when you're alone or you're craving validation or you feel just unwanted. There is nothing wrong with that. And that's the most normal feeling to feel. When someone's not texting us or not calling us or not making plans with us, it's human nature for us to

automatically feel sad and not wanted and we're like, why is this, why are we not hanging out? Or why are you not making plans? It is so normal and it's okay if you feel lonely. But that's That's why these things are going to just help you feel more peaceful, spacious, and grounded, and knowing that you are capable of being alone. So let's talk about how to become your own best friend. So first up, which is one of the most important things, and I always say this, everything stems from your mindset. It really does.

So you have to talk to yourself like someone you would respect. If you are looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking, gosh, I'm so ugly, gosh, I hate myself, or you're constantly being so hard on yourself, being so negative towards yourself, would you say that to your best friend? No. So if you're trying to become your own best friend, you can't be rude and negative and so disheartening to your best friend because I know someone you love or one of your best friends, your significant other, whatever it is, you're going to be talking to them like you love them and with love and care and respect. So why are you disrespecting yourself? Even if you're just thinking it to yourself, stop. Rewire your thoughts and start talking to yourself

the way you would to your best friend. This is something that I, I think is one of the most important things, which we briefly touched on, but start doing things without waiting for someone. This is where solo hobbies and solo dates come in, but you have to start doing things that you actually want without waiting for the company. Be your own company. You are more than enough. It's going to feel uncomfortable at first and like you're lost and confused and how does this work, but I promise you it'll soon become peaceful and it'll become so easy that you don't even think about it. You're going to think, oh, I'm just going to go take myself to a coffee shop and read a book right now. I'm going to go to the new restaurant that I've been wanting to try

and take myself to dinner. These things that seem so imaginable and hard right now for solo dates and doing things alone become so easy after you continuously do it and put yourself in those positions where you're not the most comfortable. And if you're worried about what the people around you are thinking, let me just tell you, nobody's thinking about you being alone. Do you understand even if you go eat at a restaurant alone? Nobody's thinking, oh, look at the restaurant alone. Nobody's thinking, oh look at that poor girl alone at the restaurant oh why is that girl alone at the restaurant nobody's thinking that they are in their own heads and thinking about their own problems their own life their own plans for the rest of the day so don't think so much about what other people are thinking about i can't be the only one who has this like dream

item of theirs that they always see whether it's a bag a sweater a top and you're like i just need that but it's like sold out everywhere that's me with this one vintage duney and burke bag I literally was looking everywhere for it and I somehow found one on a Poshmark. But not just one. I found multiple of them at such a good price and I was like, wait, this is just too good to be true. So if you know me, you know I am a Poshmark girl. Poshmark is a marketplace where you can list and sell as well as buy new items, vintage pieces, gently used, luxury pieces. They really just have it all. And I feel like there's no better time to go on Poshmark now.

I can't be the only one who has this like dream item of theirs that they always see, whether it's a bag, a sweater, a top, and you're like, I just need that, but it's like so,

out everywhere. That's me with this one vintage Duny and brick bag. I literally was looking everywhere for it and I somehow found one on a poshmark. But not just one, I found multiple of them at such a good price and I was like, wait, this is just too good to be true. So if you know me, you know I am a poshmark girl.

If you have been around for a while, you know the story with my podcast where I almost didn't start it, which is crazy to me because to think that I wouldn't have been where I am today if I didn't start, all the what ifs and doubts can just add up and be the one thing stopping you between you and getting the dream that you want. And let's say starting a business is you. And you want that dream business of yours. You have the idea, but all your what ifs and doubts can add up and feel so overwhelming.

But one of the best things that's going to help you get through that roadblock of what ifs is having help and assistance. That's why if you're thinking about starting a business, start it with Shopify. Shopify is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world and 10% of all of e-commerce in the U.S. from household names like Jim Shark to Allo Yoga to brands just getting started. I love Shopify because it just helps in all aspects of your business, from product photography to marketing to managing orders. They really just cover it all.

When becoming the girl on your vision board, it is so important to have a set wellness routine. but it doesn't have to be a lot of time, whether you're traveling or just having a spring refresh, have something for your health that you can rely on. That's why I love AG1. Ag1 is a daily health drink clinically shown to support your gut health and fill in common nutrient gaps. AG1 is so loved between me and my family. I drink it all the time, my mom, my dad, my brothers, my grandpa, like we all love AG1 here. Most importantly, because it's so easy, you can literally

just pour it into water, shake it up, and you're done. And it just feels so good to know that your energy, your immune health, and your gut health is all being supported. I seriously could not have a spring refresh without it. It's literally my favorite right now.

That's $72 yours free only while supplies last. Go to drinkag1.com slash pretty. Now let's talk a little about the aesthetic side of being alone and doing things fun with yourself because like I always say for me to do things that challenge me, I always have to tie something aesthetic to it. It just makes me enjoy it more and inspired. Like when I want to achieve

something, let's say I have to really do and buckle down on a full clean in my room. I will go and put on YouTube videos of girls cleaning or I'll go on Pinterest and look at clean room inspo. those things I'm surrounding my environment of what I consume for things that I want to reflect into my own life. So you have to realize you have to start consuming what you want your environment and lifestyle to look like. So maybe start looking on Pinterest more instead of scrolling on Instagram or TikTok or only following people on Instagram and TikTok that actually fuel that motivation and keep you inspired. Maybe start replacing some music with podcasts. Just surrounding yourself in the environment that you want to have in your life is one of the best things. things to do for motivation and inspiration. And I'm telling you that's going to really help your

journey of learning how to become your own best friend when you watch videos of girls doing solo dates. I even started doing like a solo date series on my TikTok and Instagram of me doing solo dates. And I talk about a lot of those ideas on the podcast already. But sometimes seeing other people do it, it's going to be easier for you to start doing it. Okay, back to what I was saying about the static side of being alone. Some examples of things that you can start by doing things alone, which aren't even solo dates. These are just enjoying how to take things slow and enjoy things that you do with yourself. So it's not even going out, having a picnic or going to a restaurant, going to the movies.

These are just everyday things that you can do from home. So in the morning, something you could do for yourself is have a set routine. That could be having your macha or your coffee and then journaling while drinking it, opening your windows, stretching outside, getting that like morning sunlight, make a pretty breakfast bowl, maybe some oatmeal or some Greek yogurt, and then go on a little walk. I find having a set routine for yourself can be one of the best ways to begin introing solo dates to yourself

because you're spending time alone, but it's from home and just doing things where it's like, okay, you know, this is for myself. I'm doing this because I enjoy it for me. Now when it comes to a little evening time with yourself, maybe you do your shower and you do your body care, find your body scrub or your lotion that you love and look forward to using, and that can be like a little highlight.

And then maybe you want to light a candle, you can maybe brew some tea. Even just like picking out the tea you're going to have that evening can feel so special. And of course, we love a little dessert bowl. So maybe you want a sweet and little savory bowl. And then something that you could do would just get like one of those little bedside tables or a little like bed tray. And lay it all out your tea and your dessert and your book. And it just is so nice and calming.

You could do some journaling, some needle pointing. Something that I have been loving to do right now is watercolor. it is so fun it's like painting but it's like the little watercolors and that can be a little fun thing that you look forward to doing again these are like little practice things that you can do that are intentional and that really just help you set yourself up for enjoying time with yourself now if you're someone who has been doing this for a while and already kind of like are familiar or comfortable with solo dates so starting off with outdoor ones because i've been really loving just being outdoors especially for spring this is perfect for springtime go to the farmer's market

Farmers markets, I'm sure there's one in your area and just walking around the farmer's market. It is the most comfortable thing to do as like a first solo date because nobody's looking at you. You feel like you just blend in and it actually makes you have a little activity. Okay, what am I going to make for dinner? What am I going to make for lunch? And you can gather those produce and it just is a really nice thing to do. Another thing is go on a walk. So you can go on a walk or a hike and if you're going to hike alone, be cautious of course.

But go in a walk, have a podcast and maybe a mott. in hand or walk by the beach. Another thing you could do is have a picnic in the park. So maybe bring your book or bring some music, do something where it just plans a little date for yourself. Another thing you could do is do some outdoor yoga. You can literally just go in your backyard or the front yard outside anywhere, lay out your yoga mat and just sit with yourself, do some stretching, do some yoga. And it's so grounding. And also just being away from your phone and not scrolling or feeling tied down to something, feel so refreshing and nice. I honestly feel like it just clears my head so much.

Or when you eat your meals, okay, sorry, this is actually separate than solo dates. But when you eat your meals, stop going on your phone or watching TV. Of course, it's fine sometimes if you want to just eat in bed. And I love like a dessert in bed. And I love doing that. But sometimes when we are just always eating with our phone in front of us or watching TV or entertainment, it can kind of feel like we're not even knowing what we're eating and we're rushing or we're not thinking. So it's nice to just be present with yourself and be with your food, be with

yourself and enjoy it as is. Let that be activity alone and then let almost everything be an activity independently. So eat your food and then go after watch your TV or watch your movie. So everything doesn't blend into one. That also is great if you feel like you have very repetitive broken record days. Like you're having the same thing. You wake up, you go to work, you eat dinner and you go to bed, having things kind of separated if you can. So when you get home, don't go on your phone and have things playing all the time while you're doing your workout or eating your food. Try to have things separate. So it makes you feel like you got the most out of your day. Now when it comes to the creative aspect of solo day, it's something that you can do, which I love is pottery class.

Or you can do a painting pottery class. There's a lot of like painting ceramic spots and I'm sure there's one in your area. Another thing you could do is go on a color walk. So when you're on your your color walk, you can kind of pick colors out and think, okay, I'm going to look for the color yellow. Find everything that looks yellow. It just helps you be mindful. It's a fun little game that you can play with yourself. Another thing is journaling at a cafe. And maybe you can even challenge yourself when you go to the cafe is journal with no music, no headphones, and just be present with yourself. Something else you can do is go to the thrift store. I feel like thrift stores are so fun because they're so entertaining with all different things. And let's be real, it's a much better prices.

then retail therapy from shopping online or shopping at stores. When it comes to relaxing things you can do independently with yourself, you can have a spa day at home, or you can go to get your nails done or have a spa massage date with yourself somewhere. But it's nice to do it at home as well. So you can do a little spa day and get like some cute little flower petals and put them in like a little foot soak bath. You can put some like Greek yogurt cucumbers.

Do the whole thing for yourself to just make you feel very Pinterest-esque. and enjoyable. Like literally, plan a spot day at home for yourself. Make your cucumber water, make your lemon water, and just makes you so relaxed. And it just is a fun little thing to do. You know your younger self would be thriving if you do that. Another thing is have a bath in a book. Put some pretty floating flowers in your bath or add some like coconut milk in your bath, something to soak in and then get your book. Have a candle lit and like a nice like fragrance going. Something just to get you really relax in the bath and that can be such a nice thing to do independently with yourself and with that maybe try a new tea it's so nice when you have like a new set tea or something you can have after dinner

that just is so relaxing start doing daily stretches so maybe you work from home or maybe you work somewhere whenever you get a break or a moment when you can go outside in the sunlight or outside whatever weather it is and just start stretching and take the time away from your phone get some fresh air and that can be one of the perfect fuel to just get your day going again. I honestly feel like sometimes the perfect energy drink is a green juice and going outside and just getting fresh air. Another thing is cooking a new recipe. I said I wanted to start doing more recipes and trying out new like proteins to start cooking with. So maybe pick a maybe buy yourself a new recipe book and treat yourself and find a recipe that you want to try doing.

That's another really fun thing that you can do with yourself. Okay, this is one of my favorite things to do when it comes to. two errands. So we all have errands and chores we have to do during the week. But these are the perfect ways to romanticize them where it makes it like something exciting to do with yourself. When you go grocery shopping, put on a podcast or put on some music. So don't forget to bring your headphones and maybe have a matcha or a coffee with you. It just makes it so much more enjoyable. Next is if you get yourself weekly flowers, maybe go find different flowers. It can be from outside or if you go shopping for them get the flowers and make yourself a little flower bunch so make it like a bouquet and make it

exactly how you like it bunch them together you can get actually like a traitor jo's bag or any like paper grocery bag and tie it together to make it literally like a bouquet for yourself now when it comes to organizing your space again get your match up put on a podcast light a candle but also prior to doing that look on pinterest and try to find what you want your room to look like so it's going to inspire you to clean your room and then put on like a YouTube video or someone cleaning the room so it just makes you feel like excited to do it rather than it feeling like a chore same thing when it comes to your car look at pretty cars and like how put together they are and organize and that's going to inspire you for ideas for your car that's why there are no excuses into learning how to remind

toize your life and to love being alone because we have we can even turn our chores and errands that we have to do into fun events with ourselves you don't have to be going to a star restaurant and spending hundreds of dollars on new clothes in order to have a fun date with yourself. It can literally be your chores that you have to do in between school and work or it can be the things you have to do at home. Even when you do your homework, putting on a podcast, putting lighting a candle, having a nice body lotion on, making whatever event or chore or thing you have to do an enjoyable time. So think to yourself, if you had a whole day alone, would you enjoy it? And if the answer is no, think about it. Think about it. And if the answer is no,

what is missing? Is it a hobby? Is it a routine? Your environment, having movement, creative outlets. What is it that you need to add to your routine and to your life to start enjoying being alone? Your life should be something you enjoy participating in. This is one of my favorite things that I've heard before, but think of your life as a portfolio. Instead of everything being around relationships, productivity, and work, you also want to have in your life hobbies, creativity, movement, slow time, and having quiet moments and learning, exploring, and having lessons. Having a well-rounded life and having balance is so much more beautiful and a well-fulfilling life than just having work, relationships, and productivity.

So remember, when you start doing things alone and independently, it may feel awkward at first. You may reach for your phone or you may text a friend, but you have to remember if you feel uncomfortable, that's good because it means you're growing. being alone is not a punishment, it's a freedom. And it's a way that we can be capable of loving our life independently. Another great quote you can remember is, if you can become your own best friend, you carry a sense of home with you wherever you go.

And that is something that nobody can take away from you. Remember, you are the only person who's going to spend day one in the last day of your life with. So there's no better time than now to become your own best friend. I love you so much and I hope you enjoyed this episode as much as I did recording it. It just made me feel so inspired. And now after this, I'm going to go take myself on a little self-care day because we are our own best friends. So please feel free to tag me in your TikTok, your Instagram stories, your Instagram post.

Whatever it is, feel free to tag me of you listening to the podcast or how you take yourself on a solo date. I would absolutely love to see it and repost. And I hope you have the best day. I'm so grateful for you. And every day is a chance to become your own best friend. And do not forget to stay busy yet pretty. Maw.
