Alone to harmonize

Dear community, recently as part of my training to be able to be a caregiver for my son who has a particular condition, I did a workshop about inner harmony with oneself, I find it interesting to write about it. Inner harmony is the balance and correspondence of some things with others in everything that make up the being, every time we proceed in accordance with our human values, that our actions correspond to our words being honest with ourselves we are in harmony, it is intensely connected with the balance of mind, body and soul. Although this may sound easy and perhaps we feel the sensation of being this way, it is not easy to achieve to the fullest.

To be in harmony with oneself, we must forget the idea of perfection because to be in balance is something else, it is an exercise of acceptance in the first place, it involves feeling, fullness, fulfillment, satisfaction, peace and working the conscience to concentrate the imperfection in our life. Man is a social being and it is important for us to have connections with other people, to socialize. However, solitude and doing things by yourself, for yourself, regardless of the opinion of others is necessary. Studies recently conducted by the University of Michigan and published in the Journal of Human Health, show that the ability to tolerate alone time has been linked to increased happiness, as well as discovering things for and by yourself helps you feel good and manage stress and experience less depression.

Similarly, the report revealed that human beings often panic to find themselves alone without external stimuli for fear of finding inside themselves and in their minds, memories, wounds and traumas that are much more elusive when they are with other people, in play activities, parties or playing sports, since in those spaces it is much more difficult to focus on oneself and on the deepest thoughts and fears. It is necessary to practice solitude in small spaces of time and try it slowly, until finding the necessary harmony that will undoubtedly make individuals more capable of making a healthy social life.
