Less Being Surrounded

Clutter develops a sickness that overtime affects your body through stress.

More in solitude. Part of your stress can be directly linked to always being surrounded by people, work and what is worse sometimes even just surrounded by things. I hope that if you are reading my blog and I am working with you is because is because you have reached a point in your life where you have finally decided to get that one goal reached and are willing to work for it; but stress can hinder the biggest of efforts. I like to say that we are all geniuses, just not all the time, even Einstein who is known for his magnificent genius wasn't a genius all the time and about everything but is widely known that the biggest reason why he was able to do amazing work was because he took walks, often alone. Monks live in solitude in order to find meaning of their human powers, spirituality and life but you don't need to live like a Monk you simply need to start giving more value to the idea of being alone. Spending time alone allows to refocus and brainstorm about how the tasks for the day or the week are going to be accomplished while providing us with what is more important reflection, comparing our efforts with those of others in your life. How can I empower myself while helping others? What is my ultimate goal in life? why haven't I reached my monthly goal? Do I have a current mission? If I work so hard, why am I still living pay check to paycheck? Why am I so scared to break up my unhealthy relationship?

Less television, radio, news, parties, bars, driving, pets, etc.

More yoga, meditation, painting, reading fictional books, coloring, napping, exercising and even eating.

Some benefits from solitude:

• lose weight
• better health
• stress free
• creativity
• problem solving
• reflection, we get to know ourselves
• understand, your way of life and possible changes
• unwind and finding peace
• reflect on accomplishments and lessons
• time to negotiate with ourselves for things we want or want to get rid of 
• learn to appreciate what we have, expose ourselves to minimalism.
