Setting it straight –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper. If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. How are you with being alone? Are you one of those people who is so adverse to being alone that you simply feel isolated and empty at the thought of having no one near? Have you always been in a relationship? Begin to petrify at the thought of your kids leav- ing the nest? Spend the night with fam- ily versus being home if your spouse is gone? The non stop need to be fulfilled by the presence of others is detrimental to your success. You need quiet time to learn a thing or two about yourself and to listen to that still, small voice that is trying to talk to you. Have you ever been in your car longer than a half hour with no radio? Have you been in your home an entire day without the t.v. on, Facebook loaded, nose in a book or texting someone? If you require background noise to ease your sense of loneliness, I am talking to you. Have you ever eaten in a restaurant in your home town alone? Gone to the movies alone? Have you ever exercised alone without the iPod? If you haven't, we need to talk. Getting, being and doing the things in life that you want requires you to really know yourself. You learn more about yourself when you truly spend Alone but not lonely some alone time with you. One of the reasons people quit when they are try- ing to achieve is that they feel lonely. It is lonely when you are trying to lose weight and no one will go exerciser with you, pick better foods with you or avoid foods with you. It is lonely when you are trying to stop bad social behaviors and no one invites you over anymore and you have no one to go do things with. It is lonely when what you want requires discipline and no one supports your drive or your dreams. Successful people do not let being alone equate being lonely. Successful people do not allow themselves from being, doing and having the things they want because they may have to do it alone. They are willing and able to eat alone, recreate alone, live alone, travel alone and make it alone. They do not require an outside source to validate their worth. Take some time with yourself. If you commute to Redding or Chico, take a trip without the stereo. Allow yourself to think about who you are, what you want to become and see if new ideas and thoughts don't come to you in the absence of the stereo. If you are interested in a new movie, get a ticket and go, don't wait for someone else to go with you. Faydra Rector You Matter after. Being alone is a wonderful opportunity to discover yourself and you may find that you raise your expectations about how you want to interact with others. If you can learn to enjoy yourself and your alone time you will find that when you try to grow and change in life you will be less held back by other people's comments, opinions, lack of enthusiasm or support. You will not need them to enjoy your life. Being alone is not a judgement about your worth. Having no one there and no one calling isn't because you aren't sought Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
