Blog 50…. 23rd May 2017
Wow I made it to 50 blogs. And pretty much every week. In the beginning I was afraid and felt awkward about doing these and whether it would be good enough. But looking back I feel quite proud at what I have accomplished. It was about getting over the anxiety and the judgement of others that may or may not have been there. But we can easily blow things out of proportion in our own mind. FEAR = false evidence appears real. And this is a perfect observation of what we make up in our own minds. We need to trust our own judgement and be sure of the decisions that we make. We rush around hoping to accomplish “stuff”. Is all the “stuff” necessary? If we really stop to think – why do we fill up our lives with stuff that we think we should enjoy? What is expected of us? What helps is culling some of the chores, activities, visits etc.
I found a great quote from Paramahansa Yogananda, “Every individual needs a period of aloneness or solitude in order to cope with the increasing pressures of life…. Do not encroach upon one another’s independence.
Yoganada was a great Guru and left India and went to America, he went into monk hood quite early – it was his calling and to spread the word of Eastern philosophy . His philosophy was for love, serving others, treat others as you would be expected to be treated. Harm no one and live and accept with no judgement. Meditate to get closer to bliss and God. A wonderful philosophy. He started centres in America and has been directed by his higher self to help spread the word. Working with all other religions, lectured all over America, had conversations with eminent scientists, leaders of politics and leaders of different churches.
To be alone, for some it is often a challenge, always wanting someone there, to distract, to entertain, to occupy time. However the brain, the body and the energy needs to recharge and we need to learn who we are. I realised when married and in other relationships that I was always compromising on furniture tastes, art tastes, music being played. I never really knew who I was, what I liked in paint, wallpaper, ornaments. I think sometimes if it isn’t important to us we can lose our individual style. Parents often loose it for the children and family home. This also can happen if you do split from a long term partner and then go straight into another relationship – give yourself time to find out who you really are. What do you enjoy doing? Once you find out do it and to hell with everyone else. (safe stuff 🙂 )
Everyone needs time out from the world. Meditation is great for that. Check out YouTube and lose yourself – even if it’s just for 20 minutes. Give yourself a rest, your body a rest and above all, your brain, your soul and your spirit. Have a great week.

This is one of my reason why I am comfortable of being alone. Even if I’m already married, we always find time to be alone and just do the things that we want to do by ourselves. We don’t demand attention from each other. We respect each other’s privacy. It may sound a bit lonely but we are both comfortable with this set up. I love working with him but we have our own personality. We don’t force ourselves to keep in touch. This way, we preserve our own self and continue to support each other.
Hello, That is a great interdependent relationship that is healthy. So often some want or possess or control, to be comfortable and alone is actually the ideal.
Facing hurts when alone can be challenging but necessary, to let go of the past and cry or scream or laugh. Whatever works to alleviate your soul of this heavy burden.
Thank you
Have an amazing evening

This is the perfect website for anyone who would like to understand this topic. You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want toÖHaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a subject which has been written about for ages. Excellent stuff, just excellent!

Thank you Isadora,
Yes nowadays there is so much about alone time . I wrote this over 6 years ago phew eh. Then came COVID which made people be alone, some went into a panic others loved it. We are all different, different stage in life and in lives.
I channelled a book -guess it was the next step…

This helps with all aspects of life, spirit without being religious. No judgement only acceptance with a good dose of compassion

Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it wont disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read through, but I truly believed you would probably have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you can fix if you werent too busy searching for attention.
