On Being Alone Joyfully... the ultimate test

in #life6 years ago

If you want to live a peaceful, joyful and happy life, you need to understand the level of your imbalance so as to have an idea as to how much correction must be done.

The ultimate test is to see if you can sit quietly alone in a room by yourself. No phone, no entertainment and nothing you must do. Food, shelter and clothing are all available.

  • How long can you simply sit and be content?
  • How long can you sit without becoming agitated or going off and making up something to be busy with?
  • What kind of mind are you carrying with you?
  • How much attention do you give it?
  • How out of control is it?
  • What is it about being quiet by yourself that is so agitating?

You must know this.

Most of the problems we face are all due to the simple fact that we don’t know how to sit still with and be peaceful in our own company.

We are literally, our own problem.

We are, “in our own way”.

If we can’t be peaceful and content with ourselves, how can we truly be peaceful and content when others are around?

Once you have a better understanding as to the level of imbalance, it's time to address and correct it.

How...?

Nice questions. Me? I could sit alone there for a year or more... haha... the challenge is to emerge and engage. Grateful for the keyboard and my internet word which prove this introvert with a buffer. :)

I love alone time. As i am quite hyper sensitive and empathetic I need time alone to reset my system, and even just to think and contemplate. @artemislives i agree, the internet provides a buffer - we have control over when and how and why we speak to people xx
