There’s Power in Talking to Yourself

By: Ivy Jamela

Spending your time in solitude refuels the power in you. It brings your inner self into a gradual transformation. We need to experience the season of being unaccompanied because growth does not only transpire when we attach ourselves to other people. It is necessary to flourish even without the comfort or assistance of anyone because what is essential is showing up for yourself especially in the period of your breaking. Sitting with your emotions is a substantial step in loving yourself because once you see the prestige of being there for yourself anytime, you attract more hope and positive energy. 

Perhaps, some people are worried about solitude because they do not know how to confront and befriend the parts of themselves that need to be recognized. They are not at peace with themselves when they are alone that is why they always long for the company of other people. When things seem heavy, talking to yourself is certainly a crucial way to put your feelings at ease. However, you have to be patient and carefully use the language that gives yourself reasonable incentives to keep going. Self-encouragement and understanding are healthy clues that you are respecting and loving yourself. Understand that things are not permanent. That discomfort is always giving you a chance to step forward and do better. And power is the outcome of your detours and courage to survive. 

We will only understand ourselves when we start beholding our own issues and eventually coming up with ways to settle them. Solitary days seem to be the long and stagnant phase of life, but it is actually the best opportunity for yourself to improve, so you will have a snapback with all the power you have. Having yourself in its best volume is where the strength and genuine happiness live.  When you learn to communicate with yourself, it would be easier for you to deal with your setbacks in life, and shifting your focus into your own growth makes everything clearer.
