Allowing the Flow Bulletin
We all need time on our own. Even if we are social butterflies we need some time to ourselves. Solitude is usually necessary for meditation and quiet reflective time

We also may choose to isolate ourselves when we are busy and have to meet an important deadline. That makes sense.

We may relish time alone when we want to give ourselves over to artistic _expression or music, or to get lost in a good book, or get absorbed in a personal project. There is a sublte difference between solitude and isolation.

Having time to ourselves allows us to focus completely on our yoga practice or get into the zone while running or strength training.

Sometimes we need to moodle, to simply do nothing but enjoy the sound of silence. Our alone time revitalizes and replenishes.

Too much isolation, especially when our intention is to hide, withdraw, or not deal with the realities of our lives is not physically, mentally, or spiritually good for our ultimate well-being
Isolation can take us away from our lives, rather than enhancing it.

Too much isolation can create a buffer where we don't have to deal with our problems. Sometimes, pushing ourselves to deal with our issues and be in our lives, rather than isolated, is one of the best gifts we can give to ourselves, even if it may not seem like it at the time.

Just as it is important for us to have our "alone" time, we need to remember that as human beings, we are social creatures that thrive on contact. Our lives cannot occur in a vacuum, and we cannot fully live in this world without interacting with others.

Consider using isolation as time spent for rest, reinvigoration, and personal growth. Isolation can then be seen as a nourishing period of solitude that not only empowers you, but it can allows you to return to your work and your relationships restored and ready for life. One of the positive results of time spent in solitude is the deepening of understanding of our purpose
Most living creatures belong to a particular soul group and are born knowing their purpose in life.
An animal will spend its day looking for food, taking care of itself and its young, and creating a home.
No one tells an animal to do this as it instinctively knows how
Humans, are not born consciously knowing what their purpose is. Purpose gives life meaning.
When you uncover your purpose, you can live your life with intention and make choices that serve your objective for why you are here on the planet.
Finding your purpose is not always a piece of cake is it?
.You must embrace life wholeheartedly, explore many different pathways, and allow yourself to grow.
Your purpose is as unique as you and unfolds and evolves as you move through life.
You don't need anyone's permission to fulfil your purpose, and no one can tell you what that purpose is, though others can support you in the discovery.

Finding and fulfilling your purpose can be a lifelong endeavour. One way to figure out what your purpose is could be to ask yourself what drives you - not what forces you out of bed in the morning, but what makes you glad to be alive. What makes YOU tick?
Make a list of activities that you wish you were involved in or think about a career path that you would love to embark upon
These are the clues that can help you fulfil your purpose and bring you the most satisfaction.
Picture yourself working on projects that don't interest you or fulfil your purpose, yet they help satisfy your basic survival needs.
Imagine how living this way each day would make you feel.
Next, picture yourself devoting your time to projects that spark your imagination, inspire, excite, and satisfy you. More often than not, these activities are some of the ways that you can fulfil your life purpose. Time spent on these endeavours will never feel like a waste. Live your life with purpose, and you will feel significant and capable because every action you take and each choice you make will have meaning.
Purpose is not always about doing, sometimes our purpose can be more about being. What we radiate is important, who we are is important. Remember too that ‘being is enough’. We can be a catalyst for others by just being who we are.

An affirmation I came across recently will be of great benefit

'I am now willing for the Divine Plan of my life to manifest'
