Can Loneliness Be More Than Being Alone?

Can Loneliness Be More Than Being Alone?

Think about that question for a moment. When you, my friend, are lonely, it can mean many different things to different people. Personally, loneliness is essential to your growthbecause it helps yourself focus on the activities that you need to do rather than being distracted by the many different noises around you. There will be times in your life, my friend, when you are effectively isolated from others for good reasons. They can be related to circumstances outside of your control, or wholly within your control. Like myself, you can still feel lonely when other people are clearly around you, but those people are clearly not ‘your people’ for valid reasons. No matter what it is, loneliness can be a very good thing for you to experience for these four reasons.

First, loneliness is good to help you recapture yourself. When there is a period of your life when you feel lonely, there were many ways you can help recapture the person who you are in safe, sane, and effective ways. There is a lot more time at your disposal to help you, my friend, in this journey. You may choose to ask yourself more questions and really dive deep into your own self and spirit when there is no one else interfering with your life. Yes, it can seem intimidating at first, but it is worth attempting. Asking yourself many deep questions about your own self and spirit can be one true advantage of being lonely.

Second, you have more time to develop the skills that you need to succeed in life, even if you work somewhere around others who envy you. Honing those skills is very important for your professional development, and being alone can aid you in that endeavor. You may try to be more of an experienced home chef, a DIY appliance fixer of some kind, a true professional in your chosen field of endeavor, etc. The key is to do something that truly interests you and you only and see where the skills you need for the role take you. When you develop the skills to a very workable level, you, my friend, are setting a good stage of success for yourself, so keep on working the skills that you need to work on now!

Third, go after more physical activity. It’s definitely more possible to use your time to get into a better physique when you, my friend, are lonely. With that said, try a few exercises that help aid you while also doing something fun at the same time. Personally, I do not like to do an exercise unless it feels engaging and fun for me to do. If it feels like an exercise is too much for you, it probably is. Instead, try something light and easy at first, and then, progress into something more difficult. It’s a matter of trial and error, my friend, to attempt a workout or physical activity routine that helps keep you in shape while having fun at the same time. It’s worth experimenting and seeing what works best for you.

Fourth, make your goals and plans. When you are lonely, it is an activity you must do. To start, you may choose between 5-10 goals and plan them with specific timelines. Those goals and plans help you keep on track, even if life does get a bit lonely. Even though plans do need to be altered after a while, that’s the whole idea on why plans need to be updated so often. As time progresses, you, my friend, may find different pursuits that help you keep on track. Plan accordingly and be willing to change your plans at any time. With your goals, keep the goals you chose initially, and attempt a different way to approach the goal if the plan falls short, which can happen. The idea, my friend, is to keep on track towards your goals while being open to revise your plans to achieve those goals at any time. Please keep an open mind to the plans, and you may reach your goals in a good timeframe.

When it comes to being alone, it may not feel so lonely after all. When you, my friend, realize what you need to do to move on up to the next level of your life, loneliness can be a real stepping stone if you choose to use the alone time you have in a constructive way. Rather than wasting on time on meaningless pursuits, choose to grow yourself, and your lonely time will be worth it once you allow new people to enter your life again. You may choose to ask the deep questions to your spirit, develop more skills that benefit you and others, getting yourself into a better physique, and outlining goals and plans. You may choose to do more than what was mentioned in this article, but the whole idea is to use your alone time in a constructive way so that you, my friend, move on up to the next level in your life. When you fully understand this, you, my friend, may sense that radiance of Strivulence!
