Insight For Living

My best insight for living has been gained during solitude, time spent alone. The self-awareness I acquired during those alone moments allowed me to make some of my most positive life altering changes.

According to Charles Kinsley "We must remember that without solitude, without contemplation, without habitual collection and recollection of ourselves from time to time, no great purpose is carried out and no great work is done."

As a culture we perceive time alone as a form of punishment. Whenever we have a moment alone, we quickly find ways to occupy our time by watching TV, surfing the internet, talking on the phone, or reading a book.

What about time to do nothing but think? As a life coach I recommend that you solicit your time alone. Your greatest insight for living can be discovered during these precious moments.

Find activities that allow you time alone to discover valuable insight for living. Here are some ideas:

Maybe while you walk, leave the headset at home.

Take a stroll in the park, around the lake.

While you drive to and from work, turn off the radio or the CD player.

Go for a swim.

Go canoing, kayaking.

Go hiking in the mountains.

As a life coach I recommend that you take the time alone to do some introspective work, some self-reflection. It is during these treasured moments that you will gain helpful insights for living.

Here are some things to focus on while alone in solitude:
Look back on decisions you have made in the past and discover the lessons to be learned.

See how things could have been done differently to achieve your desired outcome.
What can you do differently in the future to ensure a better outcome?
Think about your finances, set goals.
Questions your level of ambition.

Honestly admit when you were wrong, your mistakes.
Admit and accept the truth about who you are.
Admit to how you may have wronged others.
Look for any unfavorable repetitive patterns of behavior.
Think about what you will like to change about you, commit to change.
Consider forgiveness of self and others.
Connect with the higher power surrounding you. Take in the beauty of nature and appreciate the power within you.

Doing this kind of work helps us to move forward and achieve greater successes in our lives. This time alone can prove to be your most cherished source of learning.
