Say "alone" and "lonely" before someone and you will get the look. Yes, that look. Around us, it is considered to be a social stigma. Loneliness is a completely different thing from being alone. In this hustling life, it is very very important that you spend at least some time with yourself. The perks being:
A clear picture: Generally our lives involve a lot of running and everything around us passes with great speed. Some time alone with yourself help you grasp the surroundings, slows your life bit down and allow you to get a clear picture of life.
Sorted mind: Our mind is like a storage box, it can handle a limited number of files and folders in it. So, it needs to be organized from time to time to get rid of irrelevant and unnecessary files. This way you can keep your mind and life organized.
Retrospection: In your time with yourself, you can think about the past time which you cannot or won't do otherwise and analyze yourself. You will get a better idea of right and wrong and also it will help you direct your future.
KYB: Know yourself Buddy. The farther you get from the world, the closer you get to yourself. In your "Me" time, you can discover your new sides, new capabilities, and a broader perspective. You can also come face to face with your weaknesses and decide how to go about it. You can accept it or ignore it.
Delete junk: Too many thoughts, too much fuss, lots of negativity? Yeah, we all have to deal with this kind of shit. In your alone time, you can clear your mind and get rid of the "Caches" and "temporary files" and shed some load of your mind.
Independence & Happiness: Generally we rely on others for decision making, emotional needs, and social needs. We depend too much on others for our happiness. Spending some time with yourself will make you realize that you don't always need people for being happy. When our happiness depends on others we cannot sustain the happiness because of fear of loss, but till eternity, you are not going to lose yourself. So, learning to be happy with yourself is the best way to achieve sustainable happiness.
Disconnect: Where has your best friend checked in, how many likes you got on Instagram or which movie your favorite actor has signed is the least of your concern. In this information age, we have more information to process than we can handle and so for maintaining our sanity, we need to get rid of the unnecessary and irrelevant information. It doesn't mean you become asocial or anti-social, it just means you shouldn't forget yourself while knowing about others.
I am alone and I know it: We come alone and we go alone. We spend a lot of energy in trying not to be alone because being alone is a bad thing. But being alone is the most wonderful thing that can happen to you. That way you can embrace your uniqeness and your character without anyone's approval. We don't need anyone's approval, we are amazing the way we are but we are too scared to accept the fact that we can be alone.
Some day try going for a drive alone. Put your phone aside and listen to songs, sip some tea and just shut your mind. You will return addicted to the peace you find.
