In the upcoming time, you are being asked to spend some constructive time in self-reflection as this could be very helpful for you at this time. Spending some time in reflection will allow you to tune out distractions, to process your emotions, and it will help you clarify your thoughts much better. This will also really help you to gain wisdom about what truly matters most to you.
It’s important that you periodically withdraw from society so that you can spend some time in solitude, as this will not only allow for you to experience an inner renewal as well as to re-ground yourself, this will also help to realign with your core values, and to later return to your connections from a much more centered place.
However, don’t take this emotional withdrawal to the extreme because then it could become detrimental for you. Human beings need to feel like they belong, they need to experience intimacy with other people, and they need to know they are seen and understood by someone. So it’s not healthy to push others away or to severe ties with others just because you would like to avoid vulnerability.
As with all things, balance and moderation is also key here. The time you spend alone should be used to reconnect with your own spirit, to find courage again, to find your peace again, as well as the insights you need. But don’t sever yourself from your community as this too will help to replenish you and to help give your life meaning.
If you feel chronically compelled toward extreme retreating from the world, where you become like a hermit in a cave of self, you might risk forgetting who you are because you no longer have the mirror of your community to remind you of who you actually are.
The healthiest path for you going forward is one where there is an equilibrium between solitude and spending time with other people. The right reflection is one that will help you clarify your own core essence in ways that will equip you to return to being in connection with other people, that will help renew your patience, your empathy, and your sense of purpose.
When relating to others, the most valuable connection will come from sharing the brokenness with others that makes us all One. The wisdom that will be developing within you during this period of isolation is meant for you to rejoin and serve the whole again. Isolation should not be seen as escapism from humanity but rather as a temporary cocoon for you to experience a rebirth.
