How to have fun alone is more of a mental challenge than anything else. For whatever reason we all have some degree of fear when it comes to doing things on our own. But because of this we often miss out on trying out new activities/experiences we dream of enjoying.

Learning how to have fun alone is something that is easier said than done. In short, you just have to do it. However I give you some options to lower your anxiety in this video. 

Lastly many of you have been asking me to share more of my martial arts journey. I'm finally back in the gym and I feel like a beginner all over again. People tell me all the time that they want to try martial arts... but have a lot of anxiety due to the fact that they will basically have to go the gym on their own. Learning to overcome the fear of having to do something new when you feel like you're alone, is what this is all about. Of course some hobbies are group activities... but when you're an outsider who wants to join in it might feel like you're all alone. 

How to have fun alone is about training yourself to understand what inspires you, and what you wish to do with your time. And it is also about learning to be brave when there is very little "on the line" which can help you be more courageous when something more serious is in front of you.
