A minimalist life I think is the best one a person can live. A clutter free environment does help reduce/ease one's emotional roller coaster to be less hectic. I love Mies van der Rohe saying of "Less is More"! 🙂
Absolutely! I can feel it myself, the moment I got rid of unnecessary stuff, my feeling of well-being got so much better, I learned to appreciate what I already have.
Hey again gorgeous, Being alone is the time that mostly feels peaceful. People cannot stand to be alone, not only because they feel lonely, but also because they do not have the courage to face their inner demons. I'm a loner, always have been and always will be because of how selective I am so that it I don't surround myself with purposeless people. "Funny" thing is, I have found that elder innocent people are typically the ones that have done the worst.
Hello and thank you for watching! This is so true, and what you said deeply resonates with me. I actually had no idea that so many people are scared to be alone until I did these solo trips myself (and that's is something normal to me as I choose to spend most of my time alone), and people I know or even strangers were so surprised at how come I'm not scared to do that and many even told me something like "they would never do that themselves". And I figured it out that their biggest fear is to face their demons. When you're alone there is no one to distract you, so there is a high probability of an inner examination happening. But no one wants to examine the life they're living because it may be painful. And once you do that, you can't unsee certain things so you would have to make decisions, which may be painful too. And what you said about elder innocent people, just yesterday I had this conversation with someone I know, and I said the exact same thing.
@@irynakorniienko Exactly! Because I spend most of my time alone, I was ignorant to the fact that a lot of people are not comfortable being and sitting alone. Inner dialogs are so normal for me, that it makes sense people like us think others do the same. Sadly, most even us at times find ourselves getting distracted to avoid a certain issue. Inner dialogs and chosen solitude allows for a clearer view of what we truly want, why we want it and WHO we want with us. I learned that I'd rather be alone or with a small group then in a large group. As far as the elders, to be honest I used to have respect for them just because I was raised to respect elders, however, the more you dig into them the more you find how messed up some of these individuals are. You know what's an even more interesting thing? It didn't start with them...generational trauma /cycles / behaviors are a real thing.
@@CheckmatePodcast_ yes, so true! I often find myself wanting to get distracted by anything, so I won't have to to get to the root of the issues I'm dealing with. And yes, I know what you mean, I also thought that everyone is ok with being alone and enjoy it as I do. As you said, chosen solitude is such a powerful instrument to improve one's life as you only get to fully know yourself when you're alone. Exactly, in most cases, the more you dig into them, the more you realize that they are no wiser than a toddler, and the stereotype that you have to live by an example of someone older than you and take their advices is outdated. Yes, agree with what you said in regards to generational trauma, behaviours etc..
@@irynakorniienko indeed, but it is virtuous to have the strength to face ourselves. Although, to us, it is the norm. You're a gem / rarity of person to choose the path you're on.
