Dinner for One…..

Alone…..Lonely…….

There is a fine line between the two and a constant shift emotionally when I think of these words. Is it a feeling, is it a state of being, or is it both?

Being alone can be such a gift in this time of constant stimulation. A time to regroup, slow down, just be. For some this is a terrifying place to be and it translates to loneliness. How do you accept, grow and learn from each state of being?

Do we lose ourselves in the “busyness” to avoid the perfect peace of being alone?

There is a freedom in being alone, a thrill to choose what you want.

• The thrill of travelling somewhere new solo.  Letting go and trusting the process and being open to adventure. I have made amazing connections in my solo travel.
• The release of paddling on the lake with nothing but the sounds of nature as your companion.
• The exhale when you know your children are safely held by the community, and for the moment you can let go.
• The exquisite focus and movement of yoga.
• The joy of no expectations.

There are also times you crave connection and the key being to reach out and ask for presence and know that a balance of both keeps you grounded.

For me is it loneliness or is it healing and discovery? I have discovered things about myself which are both good and areas where I need to grow and accept. In those “lonely” moments do I crave companionship or is it longing for what is gone? Unresolved unaccepted moments as I get lost in my minds wandering.

Do I want someone to share with, absolutely! However now is it my time of discovery and to nurture my soul. The relationship with yourself needs to be cared for more than any other.

When was the last time you spent quality time with you?

I shift grow and adjust to this new reality.

Right now is the time for me to shine in my authenticity. My vibe has absolutely attracted an amazing tribe.

I am alone in this moment however not lonely……
