So you've found yourself home alone...instead of wasting the day away on social media, here are some fun (and productive) things you can do when you're home alone.
1. Spend time with your animals.
It's not every day that you get an extended amount of time with your pets, so take them on a walk, give them some belly rubs, or throw a ball around with them!
2. Read.
Start on that book you've been wanting to read. You're sitting around with no distractions, so why not?
3. Make some sort of art.
Even if you don't think you're good, making art is a major stress reliever, and it can help you relax a bit.
4. Clean.
I know this isn't the most fun or enjoyable option, but being alone is a wonderful time to do some laundry or clean those dishes that have been piling up all week.
5. Listen to some music.
Look through your Discover Weekly, search a genre you've never explored before, or blast some of your favorite tunes. You're alone, so there's nobody to tell you to turn your music down!
6. Cook.
Try a new recipe that you've been putting off, make yourself a fancy lunch, or have a one-person, "Chopped"-style competition where you make something out of a few very random ingredients you have sitting around!
7. Read your Bible.
Quietness is something that is so vital to a relationship with God. Far too often, we forget to slow down and really enjoy the time we have with Him, and God deserves so much more than that. Use your time alone to remember that you are never truly alone.
