How I deal with loneliness

  • This weekend, I was writing about 'how to deal with loneliness', but that topic came up after I thought about what it means to discover one's purpose, and whether that's a good thing. It has been a challenge coping with loneliness of pursuing my God-given purpose. I've questioned if I'm actually following my purpose or accepting the universe. Accepting the Universe and it's demands is often times at odds of what it is that God wants for you.
    But this is your life. I was talking last week about how sometimes I search too often for videos and podcasts. I used to spend too much time listening to Joe Rogan, or Jordan Peterson. You can't live vicariously through content or any sort of media. It's important simply be alone with your thoughts. The more time you spend alone, and in silence, the more you come to know yourself.
    I want peace. I want to live slow. Slow living leads to living full. I don't want to be in a state of negative emotion and wish away any aspect of my life. I don't want to be alone, but sometimes spending time alone is necessary.
    Rarely are the times in my life that I've felt fully understood. When I've ask 'why am I lonely', I've found that the answer isn't to surround myself with more people, but to confront that feeling and discern whether not the person I'm revealing to the world has anything to do with my true self. Loneliness is hard, and being in a state of feeling alone is not good for your emotional well being, but there has to be an actual solution. For me, I've found that the solution is to be more authentic, and more genuine to who I truly am. To be vulnerable with people and do my best to be my true self-- to let others see who I really am without fear of being judged. If you're afraid of judgement, and unwilling to reveal to others your true self, there'd be no way to not constantly feel alone.
    I'm working on writing stories right now. I was going to read one of my stories in this episode, but it's not quite there yet, and i'm trying to elevate the quality of my stories.

    I remember feeing lonely and how I would always compare my "life journey" to the great explorers of old who set off alone to find riches and new lands. I quickly realized this was a very false and ego inflating way to think, since I would never do what they did and really was not doing anything amazing or that unique. I came to some level of happiness when I realized no one was paying attention to what I did in life so I could do whatever I wanted with no fear of hate or negative judgement. It is not a great revelation or very inspiring but it has allowed to shrug off my fears and apprehension.

      No, I think this is indeed a great and powerful revelation. What you’re describing here about people not paying attention to what you do in life is a source of humility. For me, humility always leads to joy. Thank you for sharing.

    Thankyou I am in the pits of depression and loneliness and it really helped to listen to you, what you are doing is a great thing, and instead of continuing to run away from yourself like I have with my drugs, I think it would be wonderful to get away into nature, I would find that very appealing, I suppose my drug usage is catching up and I am in a little withdrawal, I long for my beautiful ragdollcat and miss him so much, he was my best friend and companion!🎉Yes a lot of grief for my loss even after all these months!🎉I take a leaf out of your wisdom!🎉

      I appreciate you sharing what you are going through. I think patience is crucial. If you’re in a low spot i think you have to be patient with yourself and the process. Make small improvements day to day. Things can get better but it won’t happen all at once. It sounds like you should get into nature and allow yourself time to be at peace and not overthink. Wishing you the best.

    People are programmed robot slaves of the system thinking happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society.
    If your happyness depend on extern factors you will never be because extern factors are endless.
    Happyness starts inside you.
    The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, lying, frustrations, negativity, jealousy, violent, hate, double standards, own benefits, judge, comparing etc.... Reflection of their broken souls.
    Alone or in solitude you have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time.
    And no, not feeling superior or better then others but more be carefully and awake.
    Be the light in your own life.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I feel it's important to add reflection and assess the difference between being alone (for whatever circumstances in our lives) and being lonely. These are two different states. Feeling lonely can be related to sadness or depression, which would be urgent to seek help. Whereas being alone can be related to other things, I feel sometimes we mistakenly assume that we have to be in company 100% of the time. I hope this comment finds you feeling better 💖 xx, A.

    Wow all of that really resonated with me. I know we're kindred spirits, it feels like we've had very similar, almost identical experiences and perspectives growing up. I'm glad I 'stumbled' upon your video, it was a great moment of acknowledgement and reflection. What would be great (if you've not done one yet) is a follow up video talking about how you actually do the next steps - to find/retrieve oneself, to know what we must do, to hear our calling. Stay blessed.

      This is a great recommendation for a topic. If you had to put the topic your recommending here into one focal question, what would it be? “How do I discover my life’s purpose?’ ‘How do I find purpose in my life?’ ‘How to hear my life’s calling?’ Would it be something like one of these questions or something else?

      @@thedayaheadpodcast Yes exactly along those lines. I suppose the latter is more precise because it emphasises in a specific way the practicality or mode through which that's done. I came to realise that it's about listening, but one of my struggles has been to understand how to have a clear sense, rather than still being faced with indecision and multiple directions. Hearing and listening to a calling needs discernment and the ability to recognise and act on the obvious choice 🌿

    We can see this reality in many ways/ perspectives depending in how we manage our emotions/energies
    Hell, Heaven, prison, playground, school, lab ect. I in particular like to see it as a Party, a complex gathering of beings/energies. Theres are two directions unity or separation. Individuality or integration, loneliness or togetherness,. The more we are devided the more demonic/evil it gets. the more united , the more angelic, godly.

    • @thedayaheadpodcast
      @thedayaheadpodcast  21 день назад +2

      I understand what you’re saying. I don’t think being united is always a good thing though. Sometimes people (us all) can become unified under negative ideals, and false idols. For example someone can be united under their own aspiration to become a celebrity for the sake of fame. They’d be united under the goal of become famous. In that case they’d be better to disentigrate away from that aspiration, so they can reunify under God- the Highest Good. Fame isn’t the Highest Good. So I don’t think order is inherently good, and chaos isn’t inherently bad. Let me know what you think.

    • @JonnyBlaze-ov8zj
      @JonnyBlaze-ov8zj 7 дней назад

      My bro, Unity is Law in this place, everything is together, separation is an illusion, God is the unity of all and there is an Order to this place, it is not chaotic, everything is in its place here on earth, we humans are just ver confused, thats why organization is required for our success, to clean up our mind, and collective mind set, there is no loneliness, its a self induced illusion that allows us to have this individual experiences but The truth is we are one.
