5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Are You 'Good' At Being Alone?

Published: April 9, 2021, 9 a.m.

I was recording an episode yesterday with a friend who happens to be a well-known yoga instructor. She said something during our session that stuck with me. \u201cYou, out of almost anyone I know, are the best at being alone.\u201d She expanded a little more on the subject. As she did, I felt tears well up behind my eyeballs. Tears that I fought back as I took a deep breath and continued on with our discussion. Once she was done with her thought, I thanked her for the compliment. Then I told her my truth (which I'm sharing with you in today's 5-MINUTE FRIDAY).
