Alright, welcome to episode 274. Hello my friend, welcome to a fresh new episode of new mindset who this and I've got something super simple.

I want to talk about today. It's just a recognition of something I think we've all felt definitely over the past year.

But it's a pretty common thing in life and that's feeling a bit lonely or very lonely or somewhere in between.

And I think this has been and still is an unavoidable experience in life regardless of whether you're single or not, regardless of whether you have a ton of friends or not, you work an incredible job or not whatever.

I think that you're human and you're inevitably going to feel lonely at some point. And I wanted to do this episode because I was thinking about this last night.

It's like, you know, day 366 of me just chilling alone in my apartment, my 750 square foot apartment.

And I was thinking about this idea of being lonely. And I was like, man, you know what? For me, I've never been more alone.

Like literally alone in my life, but I've also at the same time I've never felt less lonely.

You know, I've been physically alone here for a long time. I spent a lot of time in my apartment or at least I have been up until like recently.

And there's been a lot of temptation around that to feel lonely. I'm also been single for the past three years and I'm in my 30s.

So there's temptation to feel lonely there as well. But I've realized that despite being literally alone and you know, symbolically alone, I am not lonely.

I am not lonely. And that kind of made me smile to realize that the other night to know that I am alone. I may have felt lonely at times, but I am not a lonely person.

And you know, I'm not like trying to flex on you being all like not lonely in shit, but it really does just make me happy to see how I've learned the true powerful uplifting meaning behind being alone.

And I'm kind of proud of myself for switching my brain from assuming that being alone means I'm lonely from that to one of literally celebrating being alone.

And to me, it's kind of cool how this happened, like not forced, like subconsciously, like it happened to happen organically.

You know, it's not like I had much of a choice. I suppose this past year spending so much forced time alone, but it happened.

You know, learning that being alone does not mean I am lonely.

And I think I learned that in a really kind of beautiful, natural way. Right. It's not like, you know, I felt lonely, but then I just wheeled myself to not feel lonely.

I didn't sit there reciting mantras being like, you're not lonely. You're not lonely. You know, it didn't happen that way.
