I'm thrilled to share this article with you. I'm writing to offer you an overview of my solitude experience. The beauty of silence when you’re away from the stumbles, rumbles, and tumbles of life.
Have you ever desired to take a walk away from the chaos of life and absorb the peacefulness of the world before returning?
Oh, it feels like I should continue for a short while; the serenity I'm experiencing at the moment is priceless and worth it. Trust me, when you embark on your own solitude journey, feel free to share your experience with us.
When we talk about solitude, most people refer to it as the act and art of being "alone." When I heard them talk about it at first, I agreed with their perception of their definition of solitude, but now that I’ve experienced it, it’s more than just being alone in a plain sense .
Solitude nurtures your mental health. It is a moment of self-discovery and self-reflection. It creates room for a deeper connection with yourself. Far away from the uncontrollable noise, distractions, confusions, disbelief, depression, heartaches, poor relationships, and so on. Your emotions tend to cause harm to your physical body because of the disconnection with your entire being. So when you’re faced with such, the next option you have in front of you and at your beck and call is "Solitude.”
I've been able to answer some important questions that I sought to avoid, as well as retrace some of my actions and decisions thus far. I tried lying to myself about some insignificant things that clearly mattered and needed attention, and I used social media as a diversion. So, these things were revealed to me by solitude, which also gave me a fresh beginning, hope, responsibility, and approach to life.
So I took a break, which will lead to more big breaks. (I’m so excited.)
Now, let’s dive into some surprising benefits of solitude that I discovered.
#1 Self Rediscovery:
Everything felt like I was stuck in a maze, where I was chasing the unknown, and I was filled with a lot of regrets that led to depressing moments. I lost sight of who I was or who I am; my passions and goals felt a bit unrealistic to achieve; and I was constantly stressed out and drained mentally.
I was opportune to read books and watch videos that led me to the discovery of solitude, and it felt like the only answer to my questions. I engaged in journaling my thoughts, reflecting on my emotions, understanding my core values, and setting my priorities right by asking myself these questions:
What do you want?
What do you dislike about your life?
What do you need to do to feel better about yourself?
Identify your bad habits and good habits you’d like to get into.
Write clear details about what you want.
Design your dream life, take action, and so on.
It was empowering, and it cultivated my mind and exposed some missing pieces of my life. Sharing these in full details will definitely help someone out there who’s stuck and in need of experiencing moments of solitude to heal.
#2 Restored Energy:
Through exploration, you’ll reset your life and recharge dead batteries. It gives you a lot of room to change and revitalize your entire being. I felt at peace with myself and experienced the reduction of life’s stress. Burn out old energy by practicing mindfulness, exercising, engaging in self-affirmations and meditation.
#3 Emotional Healing:
Solitude helps you confront your fears, bad habits, and past. I struggled to understand how this works at first, but journaling made it easy to identify these things, and then I could confront them with ease. It might take us time to heal completely, but reconciling our emotions (anger, fear, sadness, and grief) can cultivate emotional resilience and willpower.
#4 Self Awareness & Confidence :
Solitude provides possibilities for analyzing your strengths and limitations, recognizing your behavior and thoughts , becoming aware of your surroundings and the people around you, and aligning with your authentic self also building self - confidence. As a result, it becomes clear that you must accept your identity, personality, and deepest goals.
#5 Enhanced Problem Solving Abilities:
Solitude replenishes your mind and helps you to reflect thoroughly, consider many viewpoints, and come up with creative ideas without being distracted by the opinions of others. This focused mental work increased my IQ and EQ and can improve one's capacity for problem-solving and decision-making.
#6 Self - Love And Improved Relationships:
To improve on myself, I battled my own demons. I learned the genuine meaning of self-love and how to carefully heal my relationships; I'm continuously making adjustments and establishing new limits and goals. I took deliberate action after visualizing wholesome connections. We are absolutely guided by the future, so let's make the most of the present while we can, even though things might never return to as they were.
#7 Increased Productivity:
With the help of books, articles, creative writing, creative drawing, energizing at-home workouts, music, and spiritual reconciliation with God and my inner spirit, I was able to overcome both internal and external noise. All of them assisted me in overcoming distractions and maintaining concentration on various aspects of my life that I journaled and emphasized. Therefore enhancing productivity.
These benefits are indeed surprising because the entire journey worked like magic. Even when it took just a little period of time, I delved into the research of self-love, purpose discovery, the law of attraction, new goals and strategies, kindness, and unflinching compassion for my partner, which I felt like I couldn’t do on my own. I’ve been scared to take these necessary steps because of a lack of focus and fear. Well, here I am testifying about its amazing benefits.
There’s more to this discovery. It has created new energy and an influential positive vibration that will shape the woman I’m supposed to be. I believe you, too, can embark on this journey with no regrets of any kind.
