A man had a precious watch which was lost somewhere. He started looking for her. He searched the bed, cupboard, drawer, drawing room and kitchen, but could not find the watch. When he got tired, a trick came to his mind. He came out of the house and called the children of the neighborhood and said: "My watch is lost, the child who finds me will get a reward from me." "The children were happy to hear the reward and entered the house curiously and started looking for a watch.
By not having contact with oneself, a person becomes hollow from within.
Constantly taking care of the wishes of others makes us mentally and physically very tired, in such a situation, spending time with ourselves "recharges" the mind.
They also searched the entire house but could not find the watch. Suddenly a child said, "Uncle! I can give you your watch, but the condition is that you make all these children sit quietly somewhere. So all the children were made to sit in a separate room and the child started looking for a watch alone. Shortly after, the child shouted at the man, he went into the room and the watch was in the child's hand. The man wondered how this one child did what could not be done by ten children. He asked the child the reason for finding the watch and he said: "I went into the room and sat quietly. I started paying attention to the sound of the clock. In a short time, a low sound started coming from under the cupboard, I went and saw that there was really a clock there. "The man was very pleased with the child's wisdom and gave him a reward as well as a compliment.
The same is true of man. When he sits in silence and sinks into his mind, he finds precious and rare things that make his life glorious. We are living in a fast-paced era, in which we have to meet many people every day, we not only meet them but also listen to them, understand their thoughts and get acquainted with their circumstances. Along with all this, there are many types of chaos going on within us and in this noise, every person goes far away from himself. He does not have the opportunity to sit with him, spend some time, think about himself and think about what I really am, what is my purpose for life and whether the direction I am going is taking me to my destination or not?
One of the major disadvantages of not connecting with yourself is that a person becomes hollow from inside. He achieves a goal with his full force and hard work, but after that he realizes that even after getting success, I am not happy. In fact, the reason for this is that he gets inspired by people's success and their glare. He also wants to be successful like them, he becomes so busy in achieving it that he does not get time to listen to his heart. He reaches a great point by trying and working hard, but in all this stage he also gets away from himself. Due to this gap between body and soul, he is not feeling happy even after getting success and his heart is restless.
What is the importance of "cornering" in human life and how much man can benefit from it, let's take a look at them.
Mental comfort: It is important to take care of your mind like your body. In daily life, we have to face thousands of new ideas and we have to spend a lot of mental energy to organize them in our mind. We become mentally and physically exhausted by constantly taking care of the wishes and needs of others. In such a situation, spending time with yourself "recharges" your mind, gives you the power of focus and after that when you step into your practical life, you can face all kinds of situations and events and problems.
Better Relationships: You will be able to take care of others only when you keep yourself better. This may sound selfish, but the fact is that spending time with oneself is a basic need of a person and due to this he can become an inspirational personality. When he is mentally and physically strong, he will also be able to take care of his family and other relationships and his relationships will be excellent.
Increased self-awareness: Self-awareness gives you the opportunity to review your thoughts. That way you'll know what you really are and want. You will be able to focus fully on your weaknesses, strengths and goals. "What do you want? "If you know about this, you can reach your destination more easily and get it. If you know where to go, it becomes easier to face the difficulties of life. Once you know yourself and accept yourself, then you will not be dependent on the praise of others and will continue to improve yourself with self-confidence.
Principle for yourself: You do not have to follow in the footsteps of others to live your life, but you can take your own different path. While spending time with you, you are full of energy and able to make some rules for your life and show yourself as an example by following these principles. Cornering gives you freedom that you don't get from anywhere else. You are the king of your own kingdom. While spending time with you, you can enjoy yourself and do your favorite work.You can do it.
It is good to understand the emotions of others, but the disadvantage of focusing too much on it is that you are unaware of your emotions. Remember that people with negative thoughts are afraid to understand their emotions and therefore they do not spend time with themselves. Today's social media has made this work easier. This is the escape route where many people run away from their negative thoughts and adopt it and waste precious time of their lives. So stick to your emotions so that wherever there is a negative thought, you can catch it immediately and you do not have to run away from yourself.
Performance Enhancement: Teamwork is encouraged in all the best organizations today because team members discuss among themselves, which leads to the best ideas. However, research also shows that working individually makes a person more effective. In isolation, a person's focus becomes faster, which is usually not the case during teamwork. A recent study has also shown that most people perform better when they are not in the team i.e. alone.
Increase creativity: All the big creators in the world are looking for solitude to make their masterpiece. Scientific evidence also testifies that when a person is in isolation, his creativity is at its peak. Neuroscientists say that when the brain is without external distractions, that is, in a state of calm, then the best thoughts are born in it, because in such a situation, the brain gets freedom and it can produce the best ideas.
Opportunity for Introspection: Time has become very fast. Throughout the day, a person has so many tasks that he cannot make time for himself. In such a situation, taking out five minutes for yourself gives you the opportunity to look within, examine the events of the day and hold yourself accountable. In isolation, you can write down your important issues and thoughts in a diary and this is what makes your journey easy, corrects your direction and through this you can move towards your goal in a good way. Introspection turns your flaws into virtues.
Increase autonomy: When you start spending more time with yourself, your mindset will start changing. After some time, you will start enjoying your neighborhood and you will realize that in order to enjoy yourself, it is important to be with yourself, not with others. Then you will no longer need the confirmation of others, then you will be very confident in making a decision. Being "independent" means you don't look to others for your mental comfort. You will also know that your relationships with other people are not due to compulsion but because you want to maintain this relationship yourself.
There is no need to impress anyone: Whether you admit it or not, but the fact is that we are trying to impress others. We want people to like us and for this purpose we are showing our 'The Best' on our family members, friends and social media. However, you do not have to do all this in the corner. When you focus on yourself, know your weaknesses and try to correct them, you will automatically appear as a reliable personality. Then you don't have to push to show the form of yourself that you don't really are.
Time spent in isolation is never wasted. Your relationship with yourself is the most precious relationship in the world and thanks to solitude you can make this relationship stronger and stronger.
