How to Find Peace in Loneliness: 3 Questions for Self-reflection
To start the first blog of Drip . Train . life, I didn’t know where to start, but loneliness kept coming up. It’s what I’ve been going through ever since the pandemic. And even after they said the pandemic is officially over and I feel less isolated, I still catch myself feeling the same intense feelings at times. Maybe this is how other people might feel too… because when I say I catch myself feeling an intense loneliness it’s even when I can be surrounded by people, smiling, but I still can feel alone. This is for all the people that don’t talk about the things that they bottle up inside themselves - and don’t know how to or don’t want to. That way of being however, makes the feeling only bigger.
So what are you avoiding? What are those thoughts you run away from by turning on the tv at night? The things you’re looking for on social media? The things you do to distract your mind is a bandaid on the root of the problem. To reach a peace in your mind is to dig through the clutter in your mind and make peace with all the things that might be painful or triggering to you.
3 questions for self-reflection:
What problems or thoughts keep repeating in my mind?
What negative thoughts are stopping me from getting through this problem?
Am I able to forgive myself and anyone else that’s caused this problem?
By reflecting on these questions, you can begin to clear mental clutter and uncover emotional triggers. Finding peace doesn’t mean avoiding pain—it means working through it.
