Everyone likes company now and then, but most of us also need a little alone time. When you’re spending time to focus on yourself, what do you do to relax? What makes you feel happy and content? Maybe, you love going to a movie or listening to music. Perhaps, you like to get outside and go for a walk or a bike ride. On the other hand, perhaps, you feel perfectly stoked to go shopping or eat your favorite snack.
When we feel “stoked,” we feel happy and satisfied. Some people are stoked when they are successful at work or school. Other people love the feeling of opening up an exciting new book or discovering a cool new TV show. Right now, singer Selena Gomez is stoked to be single. She goes on dates every once in awhile, but she is also enjoying just spending time by herself to focus on her career.
What makes you feel stoked?
