You’re all alone. No smartphones, no laptops, no books; no distractions.
As a consequence, your thoughts are focused on you. The pure you; the current version of self.
You’re with people. The focus is placed on everything around you; there’s no time for your troubles.
That state is an escape route. Infinite wisdom can be grasped from that part of you.
Why The Not-Alone Time Feels Great
You meet your friends. The stories are intertwined; the positivity is spread around; the minds are connected.
There’s no space for your pain.
There’s no time for negative thoughts.
Focus from your current version of self is shifted. Your self; the only reason that’s causing you pain anyway.
You like the state — but repress the self too.
The State Of Mind When You’re All Alone
Everything is off. You’re with your being.
An emotion arises; it’s you.
A thought passes by; it’s you.
Nothing exists, except yourself.
Your inner side is the only one you see. It materializes as thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
It can be painful.
But whatever happens — it’s you.
Nobody else exists in that world.
No influence.
Just the pure truth.
A Magical State For Observing Your Thoughts
You’re outside. You spend time around people, but you don’t speak to anyone.
You’re just there; enjoying your solo time.
One part of you wants to behave like you’re all alone. Sing around the kitchen, talk crazy stuff. Live like nobody’s watching.
Your other part doesn’t allow that.
It’s responding to other people’s actions. You’re scared of what they think, so you act as they all look.
That’s why you shake your legs while with people. That’s why you squeeze your hands.
That’s when the specific forms of anxiety arise; the thoughts you must study.
If you understand what makes you nervous while between people — but still all alone — you’ll have a much better time actively being with people.
Your presentation skills will drastically improve.
You’ll become so relaxed.
Your social skills will improve.
And your overall stress levels — will fade.
You spend a huge portion of your life with other people around you; if that time creates negativity, it will be persistent throughout your whole life.
Observations Benefits
The lessons find behind those subconscious actions — are incredible.
Yes, you have to dig a bit deeper to find them; most of them hide from your conscious mind.
But focus on finding them and raising awareness converts those subconscious behaviors to real, conscious thoughts. Be careful; strong, unpleasant emotions can arise as well.
But you have to know — they are pure truth.
It’s just your self, telling yourself how it feels.
Its impact on your life is massive; allow it to become a part of you. It already is — and will be throughout your whole life.
Allow yourself to take control over it. The benefits — are magical.
