The Peace of Solitude

Nature knows you.

She holds you.

No judgement, only unconditional acceptance of who you are, where you are, exactly as you are.

You can smile when her clouds part and the sun beams grace your cheeks.

You can stand on top of the boulders and scream your rage into the waterfalls rushing thunderous crashes.

You can weep in a field of wildflowers, because once too- you were as wild and free as them.

It’s all composted within her.

All she knows is the innate rhythm and cycles of the seasons.

The decay, the inward wait, the rebirth and the fertile flourishing.

She mirrors to you a gentle reminder of your own nourishment.

Your own ebbing and flowing.

“Be gentle”, says her breeze.

“Be resilient”, says her tree branches.

“Be bold”, howls her wolves.

”Be mindful”, sings the birds.

Solitude nurtures Peace.

A Soft Explosion of Unforeseen Euphoria

Drawing helps me focus on something and block out negative thoughts. Bright colours have a positive effect on my brain and I like creating a little world on a piece of paper. There are parts of my mind that only drawing can access. #Drawing #MentalHealth #Autism #Depression #SocialAnxiety #Aspergers #Art #ArtTherapy #creativity #solitude #Anxiety #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder

#peace #solitude #Mindfulness

I’m fortunate to live in a place that blends in with nature. I like to be alone. I know what to expect, I don’t have to pretend, and I find peace in being able to sit in the mindfulness of nature.

Make a wish💫

Positive energy ✨.

My favorite things to look at can be found in nature. Flowers are my favorite. Delicate beauty. Does anyone have a safe place? If I had the chance, I’d build my own secret garden with a quiet stream. A hammock, the sound of the breaze, birds and water engulfing me in a safe and happy cacoon. Sigh… if only. 🌺🌸🌼🌻🌷🌹☀️🌈😴 #SafeSpace #safeplace #solitude #peace #silence #recoup #Life

Do something nice for yourself.???

Today my therapist asked me to do something nice for myself. Hours later I still don't know what to do. What options do I have?

Need for solitude #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety

Lately our home has been overflowing with guests and Grandchildren. All wonderful people but today I realised I had to get alone. I was completely drained and my tolerance levels were low.

Years ago I hated being alone, with a passion. Now I treasure being alone. It’s so different from loneliness. I know that I will end up cranky if I don’t get time where no one is talking to me or wanting something from me.

How about you? Is solitude something you loath or love?

Hope for better things to come soon

I’ve practiced yoga on and off for decades. I haven’t done any stretches before bed in a while. But after turning off the debate tonight, meditation alone wasn’t bringing down the pain sensation enough for me to sleep. I hoisted myself out of bed and did a very slow sun salutation. I’ve never felt the surge of #Connection , #Hope and #relief from practicing a few simple poses like I did just now. Felt so good, I decided to share, in the hope someone will do a couple stretches b4 sleep too.Peace . #solitude #Fibromyaliga symptoms #Yoga #Meditation
