Embracing Solitude/Self Acceptance

I was just here thinking to myself and....

Many of us feel the need to constantly be around others to feel at ease, to feel at peace.  I find that when we are alone we face one of the hardest challenges of all.  We face ourselves.  Our brains go into overdrive retracing every single thing that has went wrong or good in life.  We face the questions we ask ourselves often but now they are in super sonic cycles of repetition.  We are afraid of this.  Oh yes we are. Being alone can be extremely painful or time well spent, its up to you. Lately I have been spending mass amounts of time in solitude and I have learned two things.  One loving yourself is key. You cannot get through life always depending on others to fill a gap of importance or whatever it is that we are looking for in others. Loving yourself isn't easy but it can be done.  Get to know yourself, you may think you already do but we can surprise ourselves. Two, just because you are alone it doesn't mean you have to do lonely shit.  You can go out for a walk, go to the  city, dance, sing,  pray, create something, don't be afraid to answer those questions you ask yourself.  Seek those answers.  Often times we look for enjoyment and fulfillment in others.  The key to any healthy relationship anywhere is if you learn to accept and love yourself people will come along that will add to how wonderful you are.

We are looking for love and acceptance in the wrong places people!! You must first find it in yourself if you truly want to be whole.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection” 

LOVE & ACCEPT YOURSELF! 

Until next time....
