ENJOY BEING ALONE

When we hear the words, "being alone" we usually associate it with something unpleasant. The type of 'being alone' I'm referring to is better known as solitude. When you learn to experience and embrace solitude you experience many benefits. Some of the benefits are; you get to recharge. Being around other people can be draining. Time alone allows us to recharge. You tend to reflect more often. You have time to ponder and dream. You become more aware of and understand your own emotions without the conflicting emotions of others. You start doing things you actually enjoy because you have your own time. You become more productive. Time alone allows for focus without the distraction other people can be. You begin to appreciate yourself more. When we appreciate ourselves, it enriches our relationships. We can experience great growth and peace through solitude.
