It comes a point in our social settings where we invest so much time and energy towards the people that we are surrounded with. We than grow in much awareness of who they are, what they believe in, the pattern of their behavior, their mood, their flaws and good sides. The more awareness there is in any form of relationship, the more conflict that will be presented. Now, in the midst of socializing it is very easy to get out of tune with yourself. At least for introverts like myself, much time alone is needed. Especially after social events, crowded areas or classes. Alone time is in a way a coping mechanism to process what I believe to be the over accumulated information from the environment. The wasted moments of alone time add up to the absent feeling in the heart and causes a gap in between, making it harder to reconnect with our authentic self. In times of hectic schedules, different faces, difficult people, uncomfortable situations, foggy days, it is important to set aside all things and focus on yourself. There needs to be a boundary made between what you allow in from the outside so it wouldn't pollute the core of what you are really made of. These are the lists that I believe are important to follow through.
1) When your intuition is telling you something, listen to it
2) When you feel uncertain about what you are feeling, check upon what caused it
3) Make a decision about the situation you are stuck in
4)Speak your truth
5) Keep a journal
6)Be aware to your feeling and the environment that is around you
7) Create a distance between you and the subject of the pain
8)Have a radical care for yourself
9) Work on your perspective
10) Confront the person or the fear
11) Acknowledge the situation as it is
12) Don't live in denial. Face up to it
13) Don't hold anything in, let it all out
14) Express your deepest emotions
15) Take time out alone
