3 reasons to have time alone every day

Have you ever wondered if you have enough time alone each day?

Time alone, if you fully surrender to its impetuosity and depth, can be one of the best and wisest investments to make for yourself.

Time alone is a health strategy

One of the essential survival skills in the XNUMXst century is being able to disconnect from the matrix of work, occupation and overload. Stress is a killer. It is not a symbol of honor to be used with pride. It is a health problem that deserves the greatest compassion. Time alone is essential for the overworked.

Time alone benefits you and everyone around you

In a world that has become so intense, the simple is often overlooked or discarded. Taking time out of all the demands made on you is not selfish; It's healthy, smart and benefits you and everyone around you.

The constant pressure to be “connected” at home, at work and at leisure, is neither natural nor healthy. The quiet solitude is a comfort for the senses. She offers her abundant gifts free of charge to those who embrace him.

Time alone is not a luxury!

How many times have you taken an hour to be idle and in that time had a new perspective on something? Did you see a seemingly very difficult problem, from a totally new angle, and did you manage to come up with a solution that you didn't even think existed before?

You can refuse the suggestion to set aside half an hour to immerse yourself in the deep peace of silent solitude every day; but, recognize that a time of solitude is not a luxury. It is a springboard for a dive within us and we must throw ourselves into it every day, allow ourselves, give us that time.

The mania for being busy is one way in which society tries to keep you away from yourself. Follow your life in a healthier and more satisfying direction. Would today be a good day to start walking the path of your life in a more rewarding direction?

Take half an hour alone. If you live near the sea, go to it and, while sitting on the sand, watch the waves come and go. If you live in the countryside, go to nature, and breathe, breathe a lot. Another excellent practice for your time alone, is to look for something that gives sense, pleasure, like watching a leaf falling from a tree, the song of a bird, the sound of a wave breaking on the beach, and then, return to a childlike state of admiration and curiosity, trying to observe what happens inside you.

That way, you'll find that you can breathe more deeply, more easily. Feel your body relax and part of the ever-present tension will fall to the ground. You can discover what sages of all ages have discovered, that investing in your time alone is one of the wisest investments you will ever make. Enjoy!
