Safe ways to live alone (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)
It may be a little difficult living alone. After staying with family or friends, one can get used to having company all the time. Staying alone can be fun too.
Spending time with yourself and doing what you like to do during this free time is a blessing. Having said that, it is important to keep a few things in mind when you are staying alone.
Investing in a good lock for your doors and windows is a good idea. Make sure that all the latches and door knobs are in a good condition. That should be the main priority and having a good lock will make you feel safer at home.
Always have enough groceries and medication stocked up at home. The
last thing you want is to go out at night and get something to eat when
you are feeling hungry. Having a stock of medicines for stomach pain,
common flu, aches and burns will keep things under control if you fall
ill.
Your cell phone should have enough balance at any given point of time to make emergency calls. Fuel up your car or bike and keep them in the best working condition because getting stranded alone is not a great idea after all.
Be aware and alert of your neighbour. Peeping through doors and windows is a good habit in your case. That will make understand the movements around your apartment.
Always keep a friend informed of your whereabouts. A person close to you or a friend should have an idea of your everyday life. That will only work in your favour.
The last and the most important thing is to never ever hide your keys outside your apartment. That is the easiest thing to do and the most obvious for thieves. It's a better idea to give it to a trusted friend or a relative.
Staying at home in your company can teach you a lot of things about yourself. You can finally make space for all those things you wanted to do but never had the time. Indulge in yourself and be safe.
