I've gone through many phases on my spiritual journey where I feel called to spend more time alone. When you're focused on learning about yourself & learning how to love yourself deeply, sometimes there's not a lot of energy left to give to other people. In this video, I share the importance of leaning into phases of loneliness during a spiritual journey, what we can learn from it, & the importance of not judging ourselves or identifying with these phases too deeply.

So many people are literally in the same phase of growth in their life. It’s so crazy because in our minds we always feel like we’re the only ones going through it.
Yes we're all so connected!
@@LynetteAdkins You're literally the prime example of looking out for other peoples' well beings, by empathizing and understanding what everyone else goes through and how it actually feels! I hope you're recovering from whatever you're going through! ❤ Much love!
So true 💗
Yessss omgggg
I was just crying in my car after work because I feel so incredibly lonely in life. This video was much needed
Sending you so much love❤️
I hear you, it happens to me to and the past couple of days have been hard. This video title jumped out at me today. Trust that there's a higher reason for this and that you will rise above it.
this video came at the weirdest, yet the most perfect time. right now i’m learning to be alone, not socializing as much, taking myself out on dates, going thrifting alone, journaling and sitting with my emotions despite the urge to suppress them. thank you love❤️
Eerie how timeous this is.
I'm so glad this came at the right time! It's such a beautiful journey learning how to do these things on our own. Sending you love❤️
You start to fall in love with solidarity and it is honestly the best feeling. I have been practicing abstinence for 8 years (33 now) and it has been the most beautiful journey falling in love with myself through these years. My peace is valuable and I will stay here and let no one in my bubble unless they add to my peace :)
This is amazing❤️
Yes. I am
girl this!! u described it in the best way 🤍
If you tap into you’re feminine energy while doing self love, it’ll take it a step further spiritually.
Enjoy the journey when you’re walking alone✝️🙏
Solitude was what helped me heal and actually find what I needed in friendships and relationships rather than just going with the default. Hermit mode is not always easy but an essential part of returning to our love.
This is so important. When I became single after a 13 year relationship, I was able to give light to so many parts of myself that were repressed. Everyone brings out different sides of us, so when we are always surrounded by others we are presenting a version of ourself, and we may not even realize it...but when we experience solitude, I feel like our true self can really shine through. It's an opportunity to relearn who you are and what your true values and priorities are. Being single, it's an amazing stage in life and provides such an important opportunity to really get to know who you genuinely are. It's so important to embrace this stage and not take it for granted.
Hey are you in a relationship now?
I'm currently single and I don't if I'll find love again
Yesss exactly!!
@@KgomotsoSono Yep, I'm still single. You will find love again when the time is right. I think it's better to put dating on hold until you're in a place where you don't fear never finding love again. You don't want to feel any ounce of desperation to partner up, because being with the wrong person is far worse than being alone. Focus on your goals and building yourself up, strengthening your friendships and health. And once you realize that life is pretty good alone, and you can feel happy and complete as a single person, then maybe open yourself back up to dating again.
@@amberbiggs Thank you so much I really needed this
@@KgomotsoSono You're welcome, I'm glad to help 🙂 You got this.
I’m definitely in this phase. Sometimes I feel bad because of the distance between me and my closest friends….but I feel God has called me to have quiet time with him. Thank you for sharing ❤
I had friends who constantly wanted to be together, connected and whatnot which was great until I set boundaries and they took it personally that I didn’t like them. When really I just wanted to spend time by myself especially after some traumatic experiences. They’re no longer my friends, but truthfully I hope everyone can learn to enjoy being alone because I could tell they didn’t and we couldn’t be friends anymore.
Shout out to everyone out there who is at this same stage in their life, single and conserving your energy for self love! Stay strong okay! We got this! Lynette you are a legend thanks for your words!
Consistency is key with wisdom daily. Focus on the process and keep the right things mind. No emotion everything is mental.
Literally have been going through the isolation phase for about 6 months and I’ve been getting to know God better and know myself better as well. Lonely sometimes but truly eye opening journey.
So relatable especially the bit about not feeling called to date presently, it’s nice to know other people are in the same boat.
same exactly!
Same here, very relatable
i jus want you to know that your videos have helped me so much. i’m going thru a breakup right now and felt spiritually disconnected from the world and watching your videos truly help me find peace within myself.
This! Currently in a season of healing, letting go of the toxicity in my life, & being alone. I am trying to embrace this season of aloneness by pouring energy & love back into myself, instead of viewing it negatively, as me just not wanting to speak to people in my life. Thank you for this video 🙏🏾
love love love this video. also, i tend to not like when the sponsor is worked in more naturally with the meaningful stuff so i really liked the way it was separate here :) hope you’re having a good day angel💗💗
I have to say these videos are God sent everytime I’m going through something or trying to process a thought days later I come on TH-cam you are the first person who pops up
i rlly needed this. i listened to this while i was journaling and it’s like i stopped journaling cus everything i already knew, you were saying and i already wrote it
i needed this so much . just graduated high school and i don’t talk to anybody that i used to - im starting online college & a new job & i haven’t connected to anybody just yet . definitely have been feeling very lonely for a while , but still trying to make the most of myself & my life . not thinking from a place of lack in this phase is really hard , but i want to stay positive and think of transformation for my elevation of self with or without people in my life to witness it . thank you for this video
This really did guide me back to self discovery after years of being in relationships - appreciate this so much, learning to be single as an adult is a whole different thing
This resonated so much with me, I’m very much in this season of my life as well and feeling very comforted/validated by your words and the other comments here. Thank you 🙏
I found your channel a few months ago and couldn’t handle your words at the time because I truly just wasn’t ready to face myself. But now I do feel ready and you have so much wisdom, you are beyond your years! Thank you for sharing this wealth of knowledge 🖤
Yes.... Thank you! The way you articulate and speak your truth is so refreshing and lovely to hear. I've been on this path for a few years and can resonate with everything.... Liked and subscribed :)
I wish I was as wise as you when I was 24! Thanks for sharing this topic. I am currently in this season of life and i feel comfort knowing that this is part of the journey.
being single after back-to-back relationships since my teenage years…literally my situation rn! very much the era of focusing on myself. love hearing your wisdom, thank you for speaking on these things
im so glad I found your channel as each time I watch your videos I see myself growing with them
I feel like your channel is such a a great guide for a primary “learning as I go” source for a beginner’s spiritual journey. When I watch your videos you’re talking about something that’s either confirmation, or something I can reference to in the future
Youre always on time🥺 I genuinely appreciate you and your channel so much Lynette, thank you for sharing the Godgiven light inside of you, you are super blessed and wise🤍
Yessss Lynette this is the one we all need . Thanks sis
Thank you so much for this video, it really resonates with what I've been feeling for the past few months. Tbh when I saw the title I almost got tears of joy because it was just yesterday when I wished there was more videos about this. Last year I really got to know myself in a whole new level and took huge steps in learning to love myself truly, setting firm boundaries and putting myself first. As an empath and a sensitive person it's always been a struggle to me to say no and listen to my own needs before others. I'm so incredibly proud of myself for learning to do that and having improved so much in those things. However, setting boundaries and truly making space for myself in my own life meant I had to let certain people go and ended up cutting ties with people who didn't respect me and my boundaries. As much as I know that it is a good thing and the right thing to do for myself in my heart, because it's literally easier to breath now when that toxicity those people brought is gone, it also often feels very lonely. It's truly something I'm now facing bigger than ever, bc I no longer have those people to numb out my feelings etc. I'm more in touch with myself than ever, and I'm learning to trust myself so much more everyday. Althought it can feel lonely, I no I'm never alone bc I have myself, and even tho I no longer have but a few people in my life, atleast I can be sure that those are quality people, who respect my time and bring even more love in to my life. But the most important thing is that I've learned and still am learning to love myself even more, and to truly fill my own cup every single day. But still, it makes me so happy and my heart warm to hear other people going trough the same things on their journey, it makes me feel less alone with myself and bringing even more happiness and love in my life. I feel very connected seeing other people go through this at the exact same time, and to anyone reading this, I'm so proud of us!!! It's so brave to truly choose yourself and choose to love in this world, and to get uncomfortable for a while to get comfortable. Through that we'll grow and evolve and flourish like never before. Love and light to all, and remember to love yourself, bc of you, you are never alone!!💓💫
definitely been in this era for a little minute, trying to do better with balance lately because I’ve finally breached the lonely part and value isolation a little TOO much. Thanks sm for this vid! 🤟🏽
i’m a new subscriber & i was not disappointed! your videos always come at the exact divine timing & it truly speaks to me each time. thankyou for providing your wisdom as you walk through your journey.
This is the EXACT season of life that I am in. 🌿Thank you SO MUCH for this video Lynette! Luckily I already have very strong boundaries around my time and protecting my energy, but things got all the way real last fall, when I decided to cut all social interactions outside of my mother, father and husband, of course! 😂The journey has been profound and the space is so nourishing, but it is hard to be alone the majority of the time, with no one who really "gets it." Thank you for getting it and thank you for sharing your story. You are appreciated! 🙏🏾
Thankyou for making this video. I’ve never had a relationship and I have extreme social anxiety so a lot of people don’t understand me and I always feel alone. But I’m trying to embrace this chapter of life.
❤️ Sending you so much love. I know it can be hard sometimes but you got this boo
@@LynetteAdkins thank you ♥️
Thank you for posting this. I feel I've been lonely for quite some time now, trying to find my footing with the person I'm becoming, accepting the person I am becoming. With that has come a lot of losses and time spent alone, debating if all of this is worth it. Why does there have to be so much loss? Then I'm reminded by people like my counselor and you that it's all a part of the process. When you start waking up, this phase of the journey is inevitable. It's meant to show us, the ones going through it, that we have what we desire and we don't need any external source to provide.
It doesn't mean there's something fundamentally wrong with me. It simply means that the life I've been living and the people I've been surrounding myself with no longer align with who I am. I have to accept that. It's okay to outgrow people and change. It's okay 🙏
Pffff, I really felt it when you said having relationships gives you the chance to experience God. I am a firm believer that experiencing Love (Which I believe is God is) is the only thing in life that makes it worth living. As humans suffering is inevitable, but being able to experience love (platonic & romantic) is what makes life beautiful, it makes choosing to have a human experience worth it. That to me is experiencing God. And you can always find God, because there is so much to be grateful for, you are literally always loved be at least 1 person in your life. We are never out of love. We are never out of God.
Yes, I can finally hear my inner voice directing me. It's been guiding me places I never thought possible.
girl your videos have been so on point! they resonate so much w me rn & make me feel seen and understood ❤
I relate to you and agree. You are divinely guided and protected on your journey. Keep shining your light beautiful
this is so good! loved how you added the tendency for over-isolation!
I thought I was the only one on this spiritual journey alone. It was nice to see this video. Thanks
Thank you lynette, Refreshing to hear words from someone that’s on a similar vibration. One love beautiful. Have a good day 😁
Yes choosing yourself is very much the first step in really moving towards self love and spirit! I feel like terms like “main character, baddie, iconic”, etc all are rooted in self love and some level of spirit. I’m wishing that self love and the ability to take time for yourself for all of everyone here friends. Love - Maha.
Wow the synchronicity! Thank you for this video ❤
Get that telfy!!! Thank you for this vid, it's comforting and reassuring
The timing of this video is divine. In late December, I ended a relationship with my first love (not my first relationship) and about two days ago I decided to delete a “friend’s” number with no explanation, like I didn’t even feel like making a whole conversation on it. Later I’ve realized that one, how you feel about someone isn’t the only thing that matters, it’s how you feel in that dynamic, which is the reality. And two everything has potential, but it’s all about determination, whether that be someone else’s or yours. I’m grateful to gain knowledge and new perspectives at the age of 16. Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m going through it alone, but the thing is I’m not even truly alone there is just no outside involvement, this is all inner work. I have God, my spiritual guides/family, my future self, my present self, and even my past self rooting for me. Within solitude, we gain clarity, and self-awareness. We learn the art/practice of shifts, habits, mindsets and once we apply these we become greater. In all, understand that what is within you makes you and will change and transform. And what is without you will fall way peacefully. Also, it’s okay to break away from dynamics that make you feel disservice-d, because what is truly meant for you will meet you. It is okay to feel like things are just shitty, that’s apart of growth; would it really be growth if you were at a constant rate of happiness?
You’re always there at the right time. Thank you for this video🙏🏾
Every video you post is on point on how I’ve been feeling. It’s like you read my mind🥺
i love you and i love listening to your videos!!! your voice is so soothing and you always post when i need it most
Wow I especially resonated with the way you speak about dating. I used to give a lot of people chances and I was just open to see where it would go and at some point it drained me too much. Now I'm not actively looking for anything, because I don't have the energy to entertain. I'm also not being approached (as if the universe knows) and maybe that's a good thing, because I need to shift my focus. Like I read in another comment, it's crazy how we're collectively going through the same mental experiences, that's beautiful ✨
this is just what i needed. so easy to feel alone and isolated and sink into a negative space
I really needed this rn. Thank you.
Thank You for this one, it's coming right on time, I've had a few of these points mentally come to me. And a few of the other thoughts you brought up added some missing pieces. Peace.
felt super called to watch your video and I resonated with every single thing you said. Thank you ♥️
I love and enjoyed this video. Everything you said is true and happening to so many. I am 20, and I am going through this phase as well. I’ve found myself being uninterested in having that social life or seeking a relationship. I don’t really care for those things anymore. I’m glad that I am going through this to get closer to God and finding love within myself.
needed this thank youu , love your videos!
This video was so good. I feel good. I feel one with myself and spirit and thriving and growing
Exactly the message I needed to hear! Thank you so much for this beautiful reminder ❤️
I really love an appreciate your videos you literally take the words and thoughts out of my head lol and the fact that i journal to myself and even give myself verbal positive feedback its cool to see im on the right track w my healing journey and to know im not the only one dealing with certain thing
This video is beautiful and couldn’t have come at a better! I’m currently reading a book called ‘Unattached: Essays on Singlehood’ and I highly recommend it to anyone that loves this video!
your energy omgg😍😍
I needed to hear this , thank you Adkins 🙏🏾💋
wow. I needed this, so so much. Thank you.
Thank you ❤ I have a similar background I’ve always been in a relationship and now that I am single it has been a little uncomfortable. I started to casually date people and things and realized I was willing to take less than I deserve just to have that moment of something. Yet I have also been going deeper with myself and I hug myself too and I allow myself to feel and be with myself. So I do believe right now I am meant to be single and really focus on me. Self love is something unfamiliar to me. It’s something more than just a face mask and getting my nails done. So thank you for sharing ❤ you are my confirmation sent to me to remind me too that I am not alone in my solitude❤
Beautiful video Lynette❤️
This definitely opened up something in me getting me to cry. Thank you so much
This was great! Thanks for sharing 🖤
This popped up and I really needed it so thank you
Thanks for this, really needed it :)
Last year I graduated from high school and I do not attend college, I work from home and run a small business, so it’s a huge adjustment for me since I never get to see my friends anymore nor have a social outlet now. This video really helped me. Thank you
Thanks for this video ! Very relevant for me right now, sending you much love from Bulgaria
im so glad i found you. thank you for this
thank you, this really resonated with me and the season i'm in.
Thank you for the video and your testimonial. This October will mark 2 years of my journey. This is the best year and half of my life. God is love. 😊✊❤
Beautiful video❤ Thank you for sharing your grace
I feel this so much. It’s literally how I am for the last 2 years or so. I just don’t have the energy to put myself out there.
You’re videos are always so in alignment
Thank you so much for your video always clarify my doubts and how I feel grateful to heard this🙏🏻
This is so crazy. But also such a testament to how the Universe operates. I’m 23 and I’m single for the first time since I’ve been in high school. And this aligns so much with how I’ve been thinking and feeling. Possible video idea for you: how you have cultivated a more loving relationship with yourself
your titles are speaking to me, literally just thought about this.
thanks
you spitting all the facts. needed this today
This hits soul, I have been taking this journey with myself for awhile I am finding beauty in solidarity and enjoying the outside when I can lol
Recently subscribed, I really love your videos!
Lynette your last 5 videos have been exactly what i’m going through right now! Wow
loved this video so much , thank you .
I’ve been out of a relationship for almost 2 years now. The love I have for myself now, is way stronger than what it was before
I even got into that relationship. During that relationship, I put all my love into it and I didn’t leave too much for myself. Having this time now to fall in love with myself has been a beautiful experience. I’m at great deal of peace when I’m alone, but I’m still open to having a loving relationship with a woman. That moment will come though. When it does, me and that woman will add onto the love that we have for ourselves.
Such a good message❤
girll ong your videos always match the situation I‘m in and the phases I experience🦚🙌🙌😭😭
Needed this thank you love ! you always know what to say ❤️
Love your energy Lynette.
Wooww.. This really helped me much.. Thank you.. It's weird cause me and you are the same age, and I had the same doupt of I better should go out and have fun like the rest of my age. But as you said.. Going to this journey now is lonely, but necessary and most of all worthy. Thanks for your words. It helps that other people have sometimes the same issues:DYou are really inspiring💗🌷
Your videos give me life because they speak to my soul. Thank you for sharing 🫶🏽
thanks for sharing, this is very helpful
Today Was My First Day Socializing With Family & Friends In 2 Weeks. I Started Taking Solo Hiatuses Last Year. This Time I Didn’t Ghost Everyone But A Sent A Text Just To Let Them Know I’m Safe & Unavailable. Y’all The Time Alone & Unbothered With Anyones Life BUT MINE, Felt So Good. I Was So Happy To Just Enjoy and & Do Whatever I Wanted With My Time. I Will Continue To Take These Breaks In Life, All My Life Bc They Help Me Show Up For Myself Which In Turns Helps Me Be A Better Daughter/Sister/Friend/Partner Etc!
Thank you so much for this ❤🍀
I love your videos so much!!
Love this! 💯💪🏾
You have my personal favorite video topics ❤
I really needed this video
I agree w that some parts of our healing journey have to be done alone bc as of rn I’m teaching myself its ok to be alone and learn how to enjoy my solitude due to my abandonment issues!
As a woman with a relationship with God I am always trying to find more and more understandings about him through myself. I love your videos and it was so refreshing to hear you speak of God and saying how he is in every single thing. It most definitely opened my eyes and I would love to hear more videos from you about God because you are someone I look to for advice on personal growth in every aspect!
That means so much, thank you! When I say God, the universe, Source, love, etc in all of my vids I'm referring to the same thing!
