Your inhibitions may be heightened today, and as a result you may feel ill at ease when interacting with others, seeing to your obligations, or engaging in recreational pursuits. A sense of isolation can interfere with your ability to enjoy life's simple pleasures. Since you are likely feeling withdrawn, you may choose to retreat from your worldly concerns in order to spend time in quietude. Even if the stillness of solitude rankles you at first, you may find that in a peaceful setting, away from the pressures and distractions of modern life, you begin to welcome the tranquility that seclusion brings today. In private, accompanied on your journey of mindful discovery only by yourself, you will likely regain your ability to successfully commune with your inner self and hear the small, wise voice of your soul.
Willingly entering seclusion can help you transform your feelings of isolation into an appreciation for the blessings that can only be found in solitude. Modern society seldom prepares us to be alone without feeling lonely and so we look upon seclusion as something to be avoided at all costs. Solitude, however, represents an opportunity to reconnect with yourself through uninterrupted peaceful contemplation of the self. Recognizing the benefits of spending time alone allows you to retreat from the world comfortably, without longing for the social contact and stimulation you must give up. Your ease will increase with each hour you spend in your own company. When you embrace solitude today, you will eventually come to understand its multifaceted pleasures.
