How To Be Happy Alone In Life
Here Is How To Be Happy Alone In Life And What You MUST Know About Practicing Silence And The Benefits Of It…
What does it take to be happy when you are alone in life? Is there a way to find your joy and happiness while practicing silence and solitude?
In a time where technology made us more connected to the world then ever we often feel very lonely, disconnected and isolated. So that means that besides our technological evolution we now also really need a spiritual evolution. A time where we learn to connect with our True Self even when we are alone. Or experience happiness while practicing silence in solitude. So how exactly do you do that?
Watch my next video to find out or keep on reading.
In my last 2 weeks or so I felt again various moments of loneliness & isolation. It’s a kind of feeling that I always had even when I was a kid. It’s also something I deeply experienced when I was around a lot of people. So it was not that I was alone all the time it was the feeling I constantly experienced.
Now I spend much more alone time in solitude because I figured along the years that spending a lot of time around people is not going to solve this feeling of loneliness. Remember being alone practicing solitude doesn’t equal feeling lonely. You can actually feel very connected in solitude while enjoying the silence of nature for example.
So why is it that we often feel so isolated and lonely?
It has much more to do with creating separation within. I mean how often do we see people and recognize their “different sides?” That’s right we all have different kind of personality sides that sometimes seems to be a bit out of balance or out of harmony.
For example we might have a personality side that is very sensitive, empathic and compassionate. All you ever want to feel and experience is unconditional love, you are in fact all about unconditional love. You love to give, give and give and do not want anything back. You are like a naturally born healer or humanitarian. However in your personal or professional relationships with people you kind of expect the same thing in return. You expect that other people also love you in a unconditional way or give to you in a unconditional way. This is unfortunately not the case for most people so you feel a sense of betrayal.
Now you start to lean more to a other kind of personality side that is more socially accepted. Maybe this personality side is much more related to being a visionary, or a business (wealth) creator, etc. Now you start to focus much more on that personality side you feel that one part of you is still not satisfied. This is where you create a sense of loneliness, isolation and separation within your self!
And because of that we often feel like we are still in some kind of survival mode. Like chasing some kind of unfulfilled need or desire. We run programs in our mind like “I should do this instead, or be there, or have that or be a different person.” We therefore start to lack self acceptance.
So when can we finally enjoy a sense of Inner Peace?
As long we keep living in separation between our various personality sides or “different energies” and also see them as separate we continue to experience conflict. As soon as we start to see them as a whole being we will start to enjoy more inner peace.
Also this whole idea of wanting, needing or desiring something that is yet to happen can create a disconnect from the present moment. That is because of the sensation of discontent.
What you can start to experience while practicing silence in solitude?
So far I shared a bit of my own personal experiences/feelings from the last 2 weeks (years) or so. But this is something we can also become aware of while practicing silence in solitude.
Being alone or just with yourself is a great way to reflect on all your thoughts, feelings and emotions. If one of these feelings has to do with loneliness for example then this could be a invitation on where this feeling might lead you to. Does it has to do with creating separation between your different personality sides? Is one of these sides not satisfied? Are creating separation within yourself or are you pushing various feelings away in order to adapt to your environment? That’s up to you to find out!
The realization of being out of balance, harmony or alignment.
the last months or so I started to embrace and accept more my passion for being in nature and very long walks. Bringing my camera and learning nature/landscape photography. (See my Instagram). Also the last years I have been doing a lot of work on my spiritual development, self reflection & mindfulness. This is all great but eventually I started feel a bit off. Like I was doing all this inner work and getting in touch with my feelings and such but something was still missing.
What I felt was missing had actually more to do with taking some sort of entrepreneurial action in my life and bring my ideas, visions and concepts to the real world. The reason for that was because for years I was all about taking massive action and manifesting results that I started to deplete my inner self. That’s why I started to feel burned out and such.
This is a real life example of being out of balance or harmony with the various aspects of your inner being. Yes you wanna take time off to meditate, practice mindfulness in solitude, have long walks in nature and get in touch with your True Self. But you will continue to be dis-satisfied with yourself if do no not take real life action to “protect your inner self” by materializing material needs for example. Which will manifest by being of service to others and solving real world problems.
Balance the feminine with the masculine. That’s what I want to say here ;-).
