Feeling Lonely

Loneliness is a feeling

Loneliness is one of the scourges of humanity.  It can affect anyone of any age male or female.  Whether you’re a PhD or high school dropout, and yes, even rich or poor, you’re equally vulnerable.

What exactly is loneliness?  You sure know it when you got it, but might not be able to put your finger on just what is loneliness.  Having a better understanding of just what it is will help you on your way to overcoming loneliness.

Loneliness is a combination of FEELINGS that intimacy, understanding, friendship, and acceptance are missing from your life.   It is a FEELING of isolation or separation from others, a FEELING of being without others – all alone.

It is very important to be aware that loneliness is nothing more than a feeling.  After all, you are not your arms or legs, for they are just parts of your body.  Similarly, you are not just your feelings, which are just parts of your psyche.

Did you ever say any of the following to yourself or others?  “I am lonely.”  “I am sad.”  “I am angry.”  If you did, that is a misuse of words that often leads to harmful effects.

Let’s take a brief look at words.  Words are a lot like cars.  Both are loaded with potential power. Cars are tangible items used to physically take people somewhere.  And words are intangible items used to take people’s thoughts somewhere.  Both words and cars are very useful, but when used improperly, they can harm us.  There are many poor drivers and poor thinkers because of  learning about cars and words from unqualified instructors.

What Was Albert Einstein Thinking?

Albert Einstein once said, “You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”

What Was Albert Einstein Thinking?According to Albert Einstein’s thinking, solving a problem you’ve created, requires a different mind.  Then, the obvious answer lies in getting help from somebody else – thus a different mind.  This is nothing new.  You learned this principal at an early age – if you got a problem ask someone else for help.

However, here we are going to focus on only you and your mind.  First, there may not always be someone available to ask and it can be very time consuming finding the person who knows a solution.  Second, and most importantly, thinking through your problem expands your thinking and your mind.  You will find that the more you do this, the quicker solutions to your problems come from your very own mind!

But in accord with Albert Einstein’s thinking this may seem inconsistent.  Well yes, if you do the same thing and expect different results you may have reached one level of insanity, but here you need to use your mind from a fresh or different perspective.

At first this may sound like another way of saying “thinking outside the box.”  But there is a big difference in looking at a problem from a “fresh perspective” (i.e. a “different mind”) and “thinking outside the box”.

“Thinking outside the box” is viewing something from a non typical accepted manner.  Some of the best “thinking outside the box” comes from someone not familiar with the subject matter or even a child.  English business tycoon Richard Branson is a great example of “thinking outside the box” (or maybe he’s just crazy…).  Beyond his life threatening adventures, just using the same name for all his companies (Virgin Records, Virgin Communication, Virgin Atlantic, etc.)  was not a typical approach.

Conventional thinking tends to limit the solutions, while “thinking outside the box” broadens the pool of possible solutions.  So why not just “think outside box” all the time?  Because there is often an element of risk associated with it.  And conventional, typically accepted, thinking got to be so because it works!

Here are several ways you can help your mind think differently (but not necessarily outside the box) so that you can still follow Albert Einstein’s advice of solving your problem with a “different mind” and nudge your genius into action: :
