What is Solitude?

Why do we need solitude in our lives? We never call it into question.

I believe we find solitude when we are perplexed with ourselves in our daily routine, our daily drama, work, conflicts, and suffering. Then we want or find an escape, such as solitude and time for ourselves.

Solitude is a state of being where you don’t expect or want to be with anyone, but just be with yourselves. It seems like we are frustrated by all the creators around us. Sometimes, people find solitude when they are neglected or kept away from their loved ones. They may be hurt or lost, and by their own choice, they choose to get time for themselves. Isn’t it true?

My question is, before we enter into solitude, shouldn't we all investigate what solitude is?

Before going into solitude, we need to know what solitude is. Solitude is a state where we try to acknowledge ourselves.

In other words, solitude is a state that frees your clutter mind; maybe clearing your mind allows you to come to clarity. Solitude brings you away from the chaos of life to a peaceful path where you decide which is better to be on.

Solitude is important for better understanding in every aspect of life. That's the reason everyone needs to experience or build the habit of embracing solitude for themselves.

Why is there a desire to be alone?

To be in solitude, one must first experience the state of suffering. Then she or he may discover ways to be free of pain.

Solitude is needed when you acknowledge your situation, fear, anxiety, worries, etc. It could be anything you alone have gone through, and you make yourself able to handle it all. It’s the time when you know yourself at a deeper level. In short, it brings clarity to your emotions and what you carry all along.

The Benefits of Solitude and How to Contribute to Making the Most of Your Alone Time

It boosts your creativity. Being alone more often, our ideas come up. This way, your creative mind works out. In a real sense, your solitude time brings a calm mind that allows you to come up with creative ideas.

Self-awareness:It helps you to acknowledge your thoughts, emotions, behavior, and even setbacks. It brings a choice to improve and a self-disciplined mindset, which we often forget in this fast-paced world.

Sharp observation: It creates the space for us to observe or to look and find our own voice. It  questions your own existence and purpose and who you truly are.

Time to think deeply: Day-to-day responsibilities, commitments, and your to-do list seem as if they have no end. This constant routine or schedule prevents you from engaging in deep thought, which inhibits your creativity and lessens productivity.

Solving problems more effectively: By spending time with yourself, you can think deeply about solutions to complex problems.

Enhance the quality of your relationships with others by being alone with yourself and gaining a better understanding to keep your relationships alive. You truly know who you are, and maybe it helps you to be a civilized being, just as you reciprocate with others. You may also come to value your relationships more after some time alone.

Reboot your brain and unwind. Being alone without distractions allows you to free your mind, focus, and think more clearly. It is the best way to shut down your constant “on” mind for a while.
