Are you afraid to spend time alone and will you do anything to avoid it? If you are constantly avoiding alone time, here are some things to think about that just might help in setting you free.
- Is doing “anything” better than being alone?
- If doing anything feels better than being alone, you need to deal with this issue, because doing “anything” is not better than being alone.
- When we run from something (being alone), the focus remains on the running and not what we are doing.
- Do you feel anxious when faced with the prospect of being alone?
- The feeling of anxiety lets us know that the feelings we are running from are beginning to rise to the surface; that’s what happens when we spend time alone.
- You will always feel anxious when you enter unknown territory. You are used to being distracted. When you are alone, many of those familiar distractions are removed; as a result, you will initially feel anxious.
- You must face your fears or you will always be running.
- Running becomes very tedious, very tiring. The only way you will ever be able to stop running, is to turn around and invite the demons in.
- When you face your fears and refuse to run, the chase stops!
- Spending time alone is the ONLY way to really know your SELF.
- It is only in the quiet moments that we are able to KNOW the depths of who we really are.
- Can you not answer your cell, turn the TV off, and sit quietly?
- Can you bear the anxiety that comes from not being distracted? If you can, you will be rewarded with an expanded sense of Self.
- Enjoying your own company is the reward.
- To be able to have a solid sense of Self - whether you are with people or alone - is what you want to happen.
- There is NOTHING better than enjoying your own company!!!
