Find Peace in Solitude

I think we miss the blessing of solitude or the state of being alone. Many of us feel it necessary to constantly interact with others. I have found for myself that being alone has given me the ability to connect with myself and take notice of those things I need to work on. As well as those areas I've already improved upon. Being alone does not equate to being lonely. We should at some point find peace with being by ourselves. I enjoy connecting with friends but I also enjoy time with myself. For some it's difficult to sit down at a restaurant and eat alone, but it's something I've done so much that it doesn't bother me. When there's no one to meet me for lunch why should I avoid going out? As I take note of my life during my time alone it reveals many things about myself that I wasn't fully aware of. I listened to a podcast recently that talked about the importance of social connections and long life. It's easy to connect with others when we're fully connected first to ourselves. When you find yourself alone with yourself take peace in those moments. Open your heart to hear what God wants to say to you. These are the very moments that have brought about some of the greatest improvements in my life. Having an ear to embrace the ideas that were placed in my heart has changed the way I take care of my overall life. I hope you are inspired to find comfort in your moments of solitude. And embrace them with an open heart and mind. Allowing those moments to help you become the very best of who you are. Never forget, we are unstuck, and we are free!
