Your desire to be alone with your thoughts could make you feel introspective today. Seeking a quiet place in which to reflect upon what your life means to you might be a way for you to move closer to your deeper self and to come to a more profound understanding about your place in the world. This would be a good time to limit the distractions that exist around you, for example, by turning off the phone, unplugging the computer, and avoiding any unnecessary interactions. If you simply allow yourself to be in a space that is protected, safe, and comforting, you may notice that you are more able to access the part of yourself that is aligned with your deepest source of wisdom. Doing so could help you uncover new and insightful things about yourself and your relationships.

Time alone gives us the space we need to learn more about ourselves, the way we live our lives, and how we interact with the world. At first it may seem counterintuitive that by secreting ourselves away from others we will foster deeper and more meaningful relationships. The reality is that the more we know about ourselves, the easier it will become to contemplate our actions, words, and ways of being and their effects on others. As we get to know ourselves better, we also become more skilled at relating to others. By spending time away from other people today, you will understand more deeply how you fit into the greater world.
