Alone not Lonely

0:00Welcome to Dr. Davina Stotts, the show for anyone who loves inspiration. Every episode blends uplifting messages and the soothing sounds of jazz, so you can connect the dots in your life.

0:18Hello and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Go ahead and get comfortable. Your time to slow down, relax, and reflect starts right here, right now, on Dr. Davina's Dots. Alone isn't always lonely. Sometimes, being alone isn't the problem. Sometimes, the problem is that we've never really learned how to enjoy being with ourselves. There's a big difference between being alone and feeling lonely. And sometimes we use those words like they mean the same thing, but they don't. You can sit in a quiet room by yourself and feel peaceful. and you can sit in a crowded table and still feel disconnected. Sometimes being alone is the best way to get reconnected with yourself.

1:09When was the last time you spent time with yourself? Without trying to fill every moment, without background noise, without rushing, or without reaching for your phone. Maybe learning to enjoy your own company isn't loneliness at all. sometimes it's where we experience true connection fulfillment and peace you are listening to Dr. Davina Statz I'll be right back

42:43You are listening to Dr. Davina Stats. This is your invitation. This week, I want you to choose a few quiet moments alone just to reconnect with yourself. Take a walk outside, make your tea or coffee, and stay present while you drink it. Put your phone down for a while and just let yourself breathe. It's okay if the silence feels uncomfortable at first. Sometimes peace feels unfamiliar before it feels comforting. But with time, you'll learn to sit with yourself and not feel lonely, but feel fulfilled, content, and completely whole. And if the reflections from this episode resonated with you, my book, Living, Loving, and Leading for an Audience of One, was written to remind you that you don't have to constantly search for validation or approval from others.

43:35And sometimes, peace begins when you learn to enjoy your own company. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stotts.
