Solitude

So last night, while in my "zone" I began to reflect. In doing so, I began to realize that it's time I stick to something that I've always wanted to do.
What? You may ask...

"Being in solitude" in order to be able to reflect, observe and gain control of myself and my life. With no distractions from technology or friends, which  means being disconnected from FB,  my phone and cutting down immensely on TV!

 This is something that I have been trying to do for years now but have never been able to go through  with for longer than a couple of days.

The goal this time around  is to last a week which means next  till Tuesday.

Through out the day I find my self constantly checking my phone, email or facebook. Why do I need to feel so connected? Why must I
waste so much time online? Watching TV? Why are we so dependant on others and why are so fearful of being alone?

The first reason I'm doing this is to prove to myself that I CAN stick to something that I  set my mind to! That in itself will be a huge accomplishment.

The second  reason, is because I want to prove to myself that I can still exist and survive without being connected to technology and to others.

The main reason however, is because I wish to embark on a journey of solitude. So I can reflect and focus on myself and my life. Focus on reading, reflecting, being productive, figuring out my goals, gaining control of my ego, working out, purging all that I don't need and spend time writing a speech for Toastmaster with no distractions.

We live in society that is very dependent on technology and  on one another. I'm hoping that this experience will help strengthen me in realizing that I can survive with just me, myself and I :)

I will post my updates through out the week.

Namaste
