You may feel reflective and happy to spend time within the boundaries of your own mind today, and your desire to be alone could make you want to take leave of friends, loved ones, or colleagues. Consider finding a place where you can relax, perhaps somewhere out in nature or in a quiet room away from distractions. Close your eyes and focus all of your attention on your thoughts. Try not to judge the ideas or feelings that come up for you. You can benefit from simply witnessing the thoughts as they move through your consciousness. The more you spend time listening to yourself, the more aware you become. It's also important to give yourself permission to be alone if solitude is what you are craving today.

Exploring our thoughts increases self-awareness and imbues our lives with deeper meaning. Our mind is full of ideas, images, and wisdom. Spending time with our thoughts allows us to connect more deeply to our unique identity. When we simply witness our thoughts, we give ourselves an honest view of what we want, what we believe, and what ideas may be most pressing to us at this time. The more time we spend excavating our thoughts, the better acquainted we can become with ourselves. Be alone today so that you can delve into the world of your thoughts, and you will hear yourself clearly.
