THE ART OF DOING THINGS ALONE (AND BEING OKAY WITH IT)

[@leelsbless]

I'm in love with spending time alone that it gets to the point that my friends think I'm mad at them or don't want to be friends anymore. I'm so comfortable with being by myself.

[@kellischronicles8669]

very encouraging video! been feeling down about being alone this summer and this picked me right back up!

[@MoTheCrown]

Wow!! I love this video so much Joy. I was recently feeling a bit down about being alone, because I always find myself alone. Always have enjoyed my solitude but as of lately that enjoyment has turned into more of a lonliness and not wanting to be alone. But you just gave being alone a new different meaning. To be one's own best friend. To take care of oneself and that really is a beautiful thing!

[@JoyMumford]

Yes! I definitely get you! Loneliness sucks. It's a strange thing because so many of us experience it, but even in the middle of that it's good to find peace with yourself xxx

[@stephaniepoulin2974]

Yes! I am turning 50 next month, divorced and single. I have been divorced for almost 10 years and my friends are always trying to set me up and do not seem to understand that I love my single life and having my own time. I am happier than I have ever been and am very secure being on my own. I have recently started my own channel to talk about why these such things are so very important . I want to encourage and empower women to learn how to live their best life and .find joy in simple things

[@a.s2764]

I understand what what you are saying however im tiered of being alone. I've been alone my whole childhood, never had friends. Even now I only have 2 friends and im not even that close with them, they are just in the same class as me .... i don't know.... im just tiered of being alone. However beautiful message. I love you always Joy💕💕

[@VMRVid]

Tabby .S same. It would be nice to have the option of being alone instead of having no choice.

[@lstyle2018]

Tabby .S Volunteering for a cause you care about, put you in contact with like-minded ones. Give it a try.

[@a.s2764]

Exactly loneliness hurts

[@JoyMumford]

As someone who's been there, I completely get what you're saying. I had similar experiences during different stages in my life (even school), but it won't last forever. I'll definitely talk more about this in a vid at some point xxx

[@a.s2764]

Thank you xxx

[@ashmeadow.]

I’m so glad for this video because I’m new to England from South Africa, where it’s very dangerous to go anywhere by yourself. I’m not used to being able to walk into town alone, or walk into town at all. So thank you, I needed to hear this

[@aliceb6323]

I think this is more about recharging and checking in with yourself every once in a while. Not just being lonely but actually putting effort into an activity or day planned just for you, as you would with another person. Loved it joy xx

[@JoyMumford]

exactly! xx

[@Kc_shredz]

Thank you for this, you're a beautiful soul. Made a big ass dude shed some tears over here xD think i found the sole reason for my unhappiness, and thats waiting for friends and others to want to come with me to do the things that interest me and i want to do. Feeling stuck and like im not living life, i dont need to wait on them! I can go do the things that fill me with life on my own =) Again, thank you, keep doing what you're doing!

[@JoyMumford]

This warmed my heart! I hope you find unspeakable joy in your own company, experiencing all the amazing things this world has to offer you!

[@Kc_shredz]

@@JoyMumford Thank you, and you as well :)

[@Blasianpower2]

It’s funny because I used to love doing things alone as I got older I started caring what other people thought about me and wanted somebody to be around almost constantly I’ve been pondering on doing things alone and I appreciate your video makes me want to find something to do today.. as I just moved to a new state and am completely alone.

[@girljenk7872]

Thank you for making a video on this subject ....it refreshing seeing someone happy being alone ....im currently trying to do this myself its so hard but if im not happy alone I won't be happy with anyone else....

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

I needed this! Just moved into a new student house 2 months early and Im stuck with what to do alone apart from shopping :/ this video helped x

[@JoyMumford]

I hope things are better for you! 💛

[@bluefalcon-em2gv]

Wow this has to be the best thing I've seen in a very long time. So much grace and beauty!

[@JoyMumford]

I appreciate this! 🙏🏾

[@cecegichau9785]

Lovely video & lovely message 😊 it's important that's each of us take time to know ourselves, there is beauty in sitting in complete silence with yourself and your thoughts. Being at peace with the internal shows externally ❤

[@faitumu]

I absolutely loved this💌 please make more segments like this? kinda like wisdom with joy

[@JoyMumford]

I may have to make this a thing!

[@neneburge]

So much wisdom in such a short time.You are wise beyond your years sweetie ..you are on the right path to a beautifully happy life..❤❤❤

[@JoyMumford]

You're so sweet, thank you!

[@chrisandtimothy]

Love this video Joy!! I was just talking to a co-worker today about how people need to learn how to be independent and not always rely on their partner for happiness.

[@theelovelytrend]

Thank you for this video ❤️🫶🏼

[@BrunoNeureiter]

Thanks

[@jfri3449]

I really needed this video, it impacted me so much. You are so wise thank you sincerely

[@sevinronak5448]

I loved this and I really needed this tbh especially during this pandemic

[@JoyMumford]

I hope you’re holding up okay!! Xx

[@hellosavije1888]

Thank you for sharing 😊☕️ 🫖

[@robot28luver]

This was much needed thank you.

[@simonesquared]

omg i love this so much.

[@niyu4218]

I moved to another town because if my work. My Family lives just one hour away but sometimes I get lonely and sad. I never learned to be on my own and I lived with roommates during my studies. Sometimes I think a relationship could be THE solution but I dont want to, not just because Im lonely.

[@nancyannenesteriak-gentili3540]

Awesome. That helped me. Thanks!

[@VMRVid]

There are some things that are better done with friends, but I don't have any so it's depressing.

[@Faith-sr8zw]

Your voice is so calming

[@OmOutLoud]

Love this so much 💕💕💕

[@Faithchickify]

Love and needed this Joy🙇🏾‍♀️😊

[@JoyMumford]

Thanks girl!!

[@corrina7536]

Started crying for some reason

[@kiki_woo]

Omgggggg I love this seriously 🤗♥️✨ new subscriber 🙌🏾

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

I enjoy being alone more than being with other people ;-)

[@mamamo3330]

Rachel Abi it's exhausting to interact with someone bit we need it

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

@@mamamo3330 so true. I notice I do actually feel happier when I interact with others after a period of being alone.

[@Rawr_itz_me_lily]

what if you're tired of doing things on your own, by yourself?

[@nalis4331]

Thanks for this Joy!

[@felicitygrace7962]

[@Hello-_simplyzane]

This is lovely

[@danmantena4676]

I love this and I love you!

[@ONAIRwithDYLAN]

Just discovered this video, ☺️

[@QuarterTime25]

beautiful

[@liv-xr8ri]

i LOVE this

[@rachelmurillo3111]

i’m crying because it’s so - almost too damn difficult for myself to get outside of the apartment. i can give time for my partner & whoever else would need it but myself. i have so much fear, i stop myself from doing even the simplest of joys. as i watch this, it makes me cry because i really wish i could date myself & give myself time, effort, love. i wish.

[@rachelmurillo3111]

it’s just my fear stopping me from everything

[@JoyMumford]

@@rachelmurillo3111 I'm so sorry to hear how difficult it's been for you! Things like this are definitely a process and aren't always so easy. The best thing you can do is be as kind and gentle as possible on yourself every step of the way. Make tiny steps (when you're ready to), celebrate each one, and take as much time as you need in the process. There is no rush, and you will get where you need to be when you need to be there. When you feel such a way for such a long time, its hard to imagine a better future - but it is coming! I'm believing the best for you - it will get better! x

[@BridgetEke]

loved this. what exhibition were you at btw?

[@JoyMumford]

It's at Somerset House!

[@DRFL_]

Thanks. Also, who found this video from #BlueFever?

[@ravenlatice8784]

Lily Mondragon I did. I was wondering the same

[@drewtrini3055]

100% agreed ......:-)

[@lyfemultimedia]

Did u film this or did u have and extra hand?

[@jadduck]

The irony is that she wasn't alone in this video, since she had someone she knew hold the camera.

[@JoyMumford]
