There are the extroverted and the introverted people. And I am inbetween. I need, at times longer periods of time alone. Last time I climbed the Retezat peak alone and it went very well. I would add that there was also a running race, so there were people. If anything occured I would meet someone.
Why is this good for me?
Me and my emotions
I love living my life and my emotions fully. To face everything that comes up. I also practice the flow, because I feel everything around me, and it is important not to take them up but just to perceive it and let go. In many cases, what we feel does not belong to us. But with enough practice and awareness, we can learn to separate everything that is not ours and let go of the things we have picked up from others.
Me and my thoughts
Because I feel the feelings of others and am alert to the thoughts of the others, I need to clean up regularly. I sum up my past period, my life, and put it in order. I pay attention to the thoughts, plans that come up in me, and I give time to run through them.
Me, emotions, thoughts
A lot of the perspectives along which we organize our lives do not belong to us. As a child, we absorb them like sponges. But as mature, adult people, we are ready for a higher level of awareness from which we can choose what aspects are useful and enjoyable for us. This is a matter of practice, as they are not taught at school or university. But with enough repetition, we can create a much more joyful and conscious, vigilant life. Where things don’t just happen to us, where we realize that we make choices and we actually decide how our lives should develop. Only so far the subconscious program, taken over from others, has been running.
For me, these long, lonely journeys are full of insights, experiences, gratitude, joy, and plans. I return home rejuvenated.
I wish you to find the activities that will help you to create a happier, more joyful and conscious life.
love,
Melinda
