I actively reframe loneliness ( not great) into solitude ( awesome, time to introspect, read something useful ( leisure or just curiosity about the monthly hobbies ( re)- cycling , just watch how incredibly is just to sit and breathe and basically be alive.
Than you for the perspective and creative reminder ! it's bookmarked.
For me personally- it's a conscious reminder that I have to be aware to be conscious and to be mindful about it - (tricky) , and not be sucked into the loneliness self pitying and move into the gratefulness of solitude.
In "The Work", author Byron Katie explores the question, "Is this really true?" It's an amazing look at the things we tell ourselves that may not really be true.

Thanks, Ovi. Dave commented with something very similar. You might want to check that comment too :)
P.s.: I guess I love solitude, then!
Yes! If you don't go back and look at the story, you can sometimes miss the happier ending! Was happy to be reminded.
👏 👏 👏
Livio, What a lovely slice of growth. Thank you for staring. When I replce the word lonliness with solitude, I feel a completely different energy. D
True. In Italian we don’t even have that distinction. I should have added to the article a song I love, whose title is Solitude (Black Sabbath).

Loneliness is one. There are many others.
What does she use this question for?
Wonderful question, Livio. Here is a link to The Work and how it works, to give you some idea. https://thework.com/instruction-the-work-byron-katie/
I hope you find that interesting and helpful.
A moment to moment dropping of current story for a new one. One of replenishment and newness.
Stories were often created by an underdeveloped mind (the one of a young human). Most of them might not have any reason to be there anymore.
I resonate and am grateful for what you do. Recommending you, to help light up this world all the more ❤️
Grateful for the ongoing support!
